Chi Yuanqing had given him a store after he had saved Chi Xun-er. The man had visited his store once. Back then, he had agreed to collaborate with Chi Yuanqing in the Immortal Spirit Tea business. Chi Yuanqing wanted to befriend him, which was why the former had ventured out in search of the Immortal Spirit Tea Tree.
Therefore, he had not expected that when he returned, he would be pinned outside the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City with his daughter. This incident was definitely related to Di Jiu.
Chi Yuanqing and Chi Xun-er were still breathing, evidently waiting for Di Jiu’s return.
Di Jiu turned to Zhong Ao beside him and informed him,
Old Zhong, I am not in a good mood today. I feel like killing people.

Zhong Ao intoned,
I’ll have nothing to say even if you kill everyone in this small city.

The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was considered a huge city based on the standards of any immortal continent. However, Zhong Ao considered it a small city. According to his memories, an entire planet’s eradication seemed nothing noteworthy, much less a small city’s eradication.
Di Jiu unsheathed the Heavenly Aqua Saber, splitting the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array into two with a downward slash. He then moved Chi Yuanqing and Chi Xun-er close to him, putting one elixir pill into each of their mouths. Then, he turned to Little Tree and instructed,
Take care of them. You will not be able to help me later on.

At the same time, Jie Guangmao leaped up within the City Lord Manor. He had just received the news that, without any attempt at disguising himself, Di Jiu had come to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City under broad daylight.

How fearless,
said Jie Guangmao with a cackle while rushing out of the manor without hesitation.
Meanwhile, he sensed that someone had launched an attack at the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Jie Guangmao, who was moving hastily, was stunned. Who would be so audacious as to dare to attack the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array?
The City Lord of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City might be Mi Ji, but attacking the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City would offend both Mi Ji and the numerous experts from the various immortal continents.
At the moment, other than Deputy City Lord Jie Guangmao, all the experts residing in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City received this news and rushed towards the city gates. Experts from the other immortal continents hastily headed towards the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City upon hearing that Di Jiu had appeared.

You dared to attack the Gigantic Tripod Defense Array?
The two city guards were shocked by Di Jiu’s actions. Then, they quickly sent out a message before lunging at Di Jiu.
They would die if they did nothing when someone attacked the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.
Unfortunately, these two had yet to attain the Immortal King Realm and could not reach Di Jiu. Thus, they were sliced into two by the saber flare of the Heavenly Aqua Saber. They collapsed onto the floor in two clouds of bloody mist.
Several figures swiftly rushed outside the city gates.
Mi Ji was leading the horde. He was the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s City Lord after all. This was the first time he had encountered anyone who had dared to attack the immortal city’s Defense Array.
Other than City Lord Mi Ji, at least six more Immortal Emperors rushed out of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City as well, including someone Di Jiu knew: Fang Feilou.
Di Jiu was elated upon seeing Fang Feilou, for the latter owed him a lot of high-level immortal spirit herbs. He was prepared to walk over and settle the debt, as he had not expected that the latter would be in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.
Fang Feilou saw Di Jiu the instant Di Jiu saw him and ducked his head subconsciously.

It’s you, Di Jiu. How dare you attack the immortal city’s Defense Array…
Mi Ji trailed off in shock.
The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array was a level-nine Defense Immortal Array. Its most powerful defense had yet to be activated, yet it was still not something that could be ripped apart easily. When he arrived there, what greeted him was a ripped-apart Defense Array.

Eh, you are a disciple of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect?
someone exclaimed somewhere near Di Jiu, who took a few steps back.

Old Zhong, when did this person come? Why did I not notice her approaching?
asked Di Jiu when he saw the Dao nun standing before Mo Yuxuan.
Zhong Ao informed Di Jiu silently,
This woman is much weaker than me but she is significantly stronger than those so-called Immortal Emperors.

Shockingly, Mi Ji, who had originally intended to deal with Di Jiu, bowed before the Dao nun instead.
Mi Ji, the City Lord of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, greets you, Senior Yan.

The numerous Immortal Emperors behind Mi Ji all cupped their fists and bowed. It was apparent that the Dao nun before them possessed a higher rank, even though they were all Immortal Emperor experts.
The Dao nun took no heed of them as she continued to stare at Mo Yuxuan.
You have yet to answer my question.

Mo Yuxuan, who sensed the majestic aura the Dao nun was emitting, hastily bowed.
I’m Mo Yuxuan, a disciple of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect.


My name is Yan Hui. How is the Virtuous Nirvana Sect doing?
asked the Dao nun in delight. She sensed that Mo Yuxuan’s aptitude was heaven-defying. Even though most of the disciples of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect possessed a Nirmala Spirit Body, the spirit body could be categorized into different levels.
Mo Yuxuan was definitely quite young, yet she had already attained the mid-stage Great Unity Immortal Realm. Yan Hui herself had not possessed such a heaven-defying aptitude at that age.
She did not know that Mo Yuxuan had constantly been cultivating beside Di Jiu. When Di Jiu cultivated, he used the Dao runes of the Ninth Dao Law, which made the surrounding Heaven Earth Laws extremely distinct. Therefore, her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. Even if Di Jiu left, she would benefit from the insight gained by the Heaven Earth Laws forever.
Flabbergasted, Mo Yuxuan quickly woke up from her stupor and hurriedly prostrated respectfully.
Mo Yuxuan, the 173rd generation of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect’s disciple, greets you, Ancestral Master.

Yan Hui was stupefied. The Virtuous Nirvana Sect had existed for 173 generations? A long moment passed before she woke up from her stupor and inquired anxiously,
Is the Virtuous Nirvana Sect currently flourishing?

Mo Yuxuan, who fell silent, did not reply.
Yan Hui frowned.
The Virtuous Nirvana Sect works for Heaven and could sense the fortune of the Dao. What is there that you cannot say?

Mo Yuxuan bowed once more and reported,
I am the last successor of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect. The Virtuous Nirvana Sect of the Cultivation World exists no more.

Yan Hui frowned after a long moment.
If the sect no longer exists in the Cultivation World, so be it. There were indeed some issues with the sect’s mission. The Virtuous Nirvana Sect would not build a branch in the Cultivation World. The Virtuous Nirvana Sect in the Immortal World was built in the Square Immortal Continent. I intend to head there to take a look. Follow me.

Mo Yuxuan sighed silently as she said,
Ancestral Master, the light from providence has stopped shining upon the Square Immortal Continent. The Virtuous Nirvana Sect no longer exists either…

Yan Hui spat out a mouthful of blood. After several minutes, she heaved a long sigh.
Yuxuan, follow me into the city and tell me what happened in great detail.

Mo Yuxuan hesitated and said,
Ancestral Master, I came here with Big Brother Di…

She was implying that she wished to be with Di Jiu and did not want to follow Yan Hui.
Yan Hui replied casually,
Let’s talk about these things in the future. Follow me into the city first.

Upon saying that, Yan Hui looked at Mi Ji and company.
You wish to stand in my disciple’s way?

Mi Ji hastily stepped forward and bowed.
I wouldn’t dare do such a thing.

Yan Hui nodded her head as she turned and stared at Di Jiu.
Mo Yuxuan is a disciple from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect. I’m taking her with me.

Di Jiu did not care much for Yan Hui. He was too lazy to even bow and greet her properly. Instead, he drawled,
Junior Sister Mo can go wherever she wants and do whatever she pleases. No one could force her to stay. Similarly, no one could force her to leave if she wishes to stay with me.

It was a wonder that someone as forceful as Yan Hui could create a sect like the Virtuous Nirvana Sect, where all disciples were peace-loving.

That’s some guts you have,
sneered Yan Hui.
Mo Yuxuan butted in anxiously.
Ancestral Master, Senior Brother Di has saved me countless times. Without him, I would have died a long time ago.


I hope that I, Gou Yue, did not come here too late. My Star Moon Commercial Building is not considered a major sect, but we do not allow others to bully us. Manager Di, don’t think you can escape today…
said a man with a long beard. Before he could finish his sentence, a hand made of Immortal Essence choked his throat and lifted him up.
Gou Yue was alarmed. Given his strength at the third-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, not even Ye Xi from the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent could choke him so easily.
He had rushed here so urgently because he wanted to tell everyone that Di Jiu had stolen from the New Moon Commercial Building to ensure that he would have a share of the loot later.
What was happening now?

You intend to capture my disciple’s benefactor?
demanded Yan Hui in a frosty tone.

Show mercy, Senior…
Gou Yue was extremely frightened. He had not known that such a powerful expert was standing beside Di Jiu. Why was it that Mi Ji, and even Dui Pingchuan and Jie Guangmao, had still been perfectly fine when he had arrived?
Every single one of the experts standing at the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s gates broke out in cold sweat. Yan Hui from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect had become much stronger than she had been in the past. Back then, she had already been very scary, but now it was worse.
It was no wonder that Di Jiu had dared to return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City if he had obtained such a powerful pillar.

By killing someone like you, I would be tainting my hands,
grunted Yan Hui. With a wave of her hand, she threw Gou Yue onto the broad road leading to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.
Di Jiu stepped on his body with a nonchalant air. Splat! Gou Yue, who had been thrown on the gravel by Yan Hui, had yet to recover when Di Jiu stepped on his head, making it explode like a watermelon.
With a wave of Di Jiu’s hand, Gou Yue’s ring landed on Di Jiu’s awaiting open palm. By the time Di Jiu removed his feet, Gou Yue’s body was already engulfed by a ball of fire. This happened in the blink of an eye.
Such a vicious fella… The remaining Immortal Emperors all subconsciously shuddered. Even Yan Hui had dared not casually kill Gou Yue, an Elder of the New Moon Commercial Building, yet Di Jiu had dared to do just that.
Yan Hui was staring at Di Jiu in astonishment and shock. She had just sealed Gou Yue’s strength. However, she had already removed the restriction on him when she had thrown him on the ground. This meant that Gou Yue would only need the span of one breath to recover.
The step Di Jiu had made was evidently completed within that small time frame. Di Jiu was standing some distance away from Gou Yue after all. His ability to step on Gou Yue to death before the latter could recover his strength signified that Di Jiu had timed this right and that he knew a little about spatial laws. With that one step, the spatial distance between the sole of his feet and Gou Yue’s head had disappeared.
Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for Di Jiu to accomplish such a feat.
