Chapter 830 - The Lost Dao City’s City Lord

Chapter 830: The Lost Dao City’s City Lord
Sensing that this group of people would not dare do anything, Di Jiu did not waste the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Thanks to the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, he had dared to stand there and even attack.
As for the group of people who did not flee, Di Jiu knew what was going on. Only the Lost Dao City had some life-force aura, which he reckoned came from the gathered cultivators there.
Other places were filled with lifelessness. Where could they escape to in this place?

Daoist, we were in the wrong previously. I’d like to apologize to you.
Big Brother Peng had taken the initiative to speak to Di Jiu with cupped fists and had already sent a message to the City Lord. If the City Lord didn’t return, all the cultivators of the Lost Dao City that were gathered there wouldn’t be Di Jiu’s match.
Ignoring Big Brother Peng, Di Jiu looked at the surrounding cultivators. He knew that there were still thousands of people in the Lost Dao City who were not there.
Many cultivators felt Di Jiu’s gaze and shuddered. They were all afraid that if Di Jiu wanted to kill them all, they could only flee out of the Lost Dao City.
Di Jiu naturally would not waste the Quintessential Essence of the Universe on such a group of guys who were waiting to die. These Dao Integration cultivators seemed to be much stronger than those outside. This was because these guys were full of vicissitudes and did not have much life-force and vitality. Otherwise, he was afraid that they would have become stronger.

I came here to find a friend of mine. However, all of you are very unfriendly. Although I killed a few unfriendly pieces of trash, I still feel uncomfortable. Despite that, I am very kind, so I’ll let you guys off this time…

Upon hearing that, many cultivators who had escaped from Di Jiu’s saber array were relieved. Di Jiu had guessed part of the reason they hadn’t run away. It was because there was no better place to stay beside the Lost Dao City. Plus, they had no good stuff on them.
Divine spirit herbs and divine crystals? He he… He had seen those things countless years ago. Over the years, these things had been exhausted.
High-level blacksmithing materials? He he… They were exactly the same. After so many years in the Lost Dao World, any materials would have been used up. After all, what could everyone do besides practise blacksmithing when they could not cultivate?
Therefore, anyone could be a top-notch blacksmithing expert or Array Dao expert in the entire Lost Dao City.
Since they didn’t have any good stuff, as long as they didn’t provoke Di Jiu first, they supposed that he would not do anything to them either.
After he said that, his tone suddenly became chilly.
I will kill anyone who dares to attack me for the second time without exception.

Upon hearing that, some cultivators who had not participated in besieging Di Jiu trembled. Many people were still wondering whether they should help the City Lord of the Lost Dao City after he came back. Now, they dispelled that thought.
What good would it do if they helped the Lost Dao City’s City Lord? Why offend such an exceptional expert? If they had a better relationship with Di Jiu, maybe they could ask about the way out of the Lost Dao World.
Against Di Jiu’s threat, more and more cultivators had this thought. If Di Jiu had been weak, they could naturally have forced him to tell them all his secrets.
Now that Di Jiu was an expert, they could only achieve that by associating with him.
Therefore, nobody dared to retort or show killing intent as a reaction to what Di Jiu had said.
The reason Di Jiu had said this was that he suspected the strongest guy in the Lost Dao City was not there. Once this person returned, he could only escape if he didn’t want to consume the Quintessential Essence of the Universe when these people worked together to besiege him.
His Quintessential Essence of the Universe had been consumed too quickly. Only 11 drops were left.
After he said all this, Di Jiu’s gaze landed on Brother Fa. He sensed that this guy knew more than Big Brother Peng.
When Brother Fa saw Di Jiu looking at him, he said,
Daoist, we are at fault for attacking you recklessly. If you have any questions, please ask. My name is Fa. I basically know everything about the Lost Dao World.

Di Jiu nodded.
I have a question. Who is in charge of the Lost Dao City?

Fa quickly replied,
City Lord Shang Huijue of the Lost Dao City. He isn’t here because of some other matters. In general, when the City Lord is not here, Huang Peng and I are in charge. However, there is nothing wrong, so it doesn’t matter.

While he spoke, Fa also pointed at Big Brother Peng, who was apparently called Huang Peng. Upon seeing Fa talking about him, Huang Peng quickly rushed forward and greeted Di Jiu.
Since Di Jiu couldn’t be restrained, they could only associate with him, which was also what he was thinking. He wanted to be friends with Di Jiu, find out about some external situations from him, and see whether he could go out.
As long as he could get out of the Lost Dao World, his strength would immediately be restored to the third step. When that happened, who would be his match?

Shang Huijue is a third-step expert?
Di Jiu asked.
Fa nodded his head.
Yes. After so many years in the Lost Dao World, Shang Huijue is the only surviving third-step expert. Huang Peng and I fell from the third step a million years ago. Thus, we are in between the second step and the third step. As for other people, they are considered lucky if they can remain in the late-stage Dao Integration Realm. When most of them reach the early-stage or mid-stage Dao Integration Realm, some of them will fall to the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Di Jiu frowned slightly.
You have been so many years in the Lost Dao World? How did the Lost Dao World come about?

Fa explained without hiding anything.
When the universe first separated, an exceptional expert called Du Bu appeared. Not only did he obtain an exceptional opportunity, but he also obtained the nine Primordial Dao runes…

Di Jiu was secretly shocked when he heard that. At that moment, he was almost sure that the Dao Master of the Universe the Ninth Dao Law was talking about was Du Bu.
He had thought that Du Bu was now in another universe, looking down at all living beings, controlling the numerous laws in the universe, and pinching the life and death of countless Dao cultivators. Unexpectedly, Du Bu had not been killed, maybe because of Du Bu’s disciple, Du Mo. Du Mo, who was also called Five-Element Sacred Lord, had been sent into hiding.
It seemed that these things had happened after the Ninth Dao Law had escaped and had already transformed into the Ninth World with his Sacred Yin Pearl. Therefore, he couldn’t find out more details.
Since these people had entered this place, there had actually been no way out. Would he be trapped in this Lost Dao World like these people?
The more Di Jiu thought about it, the more he felt that this was somewhat inappropriate. Any cultivator from the Lost Dao World would probably be much stronger than him now if they were at the peak. Plus, even though there were so many experts, they couldn’t break through the Lost Dao World. How could Di Jiu break through this place and get out?
These people had lived to this day because they were all at the third step, while Di Jiu was only at the Primordial Chaos Realm. If he stayed there, he was afraid that he would die earlier than these old guys because his lifespan couldn’t be compared to theirs.

How should I address you?
Fa asked first upon seeing Di Jiu frown.

My name is Di Jiu.
Di Jiu forcibly pushed aside all his emotions and asked,
Why isn’t Shang Huijue in the Lost Dao City?

Fa sighed silently. He knew that Di Jiu had to be looking for that woman. As long as he answered, he would definitely offend Shang Huijue. However, if he didn’t, he was afraid Di Jiu would kill him right away. After all, Di Jiu had killed hundreds of Dao Integration cultivators, so he didn’t believe that Di Jiu would really be a kind person.
