Brother Tao, that woman may be ugly, but her figure is really nice,
Qiao Sa said with a perverted chuckle.
Ouyang Tao waved his hand.
Stop thinking about obscene things. When this is over, I will tell my Great Uncle to let you enter the Creek Metal Peak. How are your inquires about that matter going?


I have already investigated,
Qiao Sa said hurriedly.
The Jing Family is a small clan with no cultivators. The head of the family, Jing Yao, became a diplomat of the Eternal Fortitude Country, so the Jing Family still has a respectable status. Jing Yao is also Jing Moshuang’s father. Jing Moshuang is ugly and unpleasant, so Jing Yao favors her two elder sisters, Jing Moxue and Jing Mobing.


She has two elder sisters?
asked Ouyang Tao in astonishment.
Qiao Sa answered,
Yes. Her relationship with her two elder sisters is very bad. It is said that they seldom talk to one another.


Oh.
Ouyang Tao nodded his head. After a while, he asked,
Who is she familiar with within the Galaxy Sect?


There are two men…

When he heard that there were people Jing Moshuang was familiar with in the Galaxy Sect, Ouyang Tao did not wait for Qiao Sa to finish.
Which two men?
he asked urgently.
Qiao Sa, who understood what Ouyang Tao meant, chuckled and said,
You need not worry, Brother Tao. They are not important. One of them is called Di Jiu, and the other Geng Jihua. Both their Spirit Roots are very bad. They originally could not even enter the sect.


What happened then?


That day, Elder Yu won a bet against Elder Hui, so he was in a really good mood. When he happened to encounter these two fellas, who were about to take the test and knew Jing Moshuang, Elder Yu casually said that they could become outer sect disciples of the Galaxy Sect.

Ouyang Tao let out a sigh of relief when he heard Qiao Sa’s explanation.
When this is over, find an opportunity to kill Di Jiu and Geng Jihua,
he said.

You need not worry. I would have found a way to eliminate those two fellas who are unable to cultivate anyway,
Qiao Sa said with an evil smile.
After hearing their conversation, Di Jiu felt furious. These two bastards! If he had not eavesdropped on them, he would not have known that he was being targeted.

Ah!
Ouyang Tao suddenly looked down and gasped in surprise.

What happened?
Qiao Sa asked as soon as he heard Ouyang Tao’s gasp.
Ouyang Tao grunted coldly.
Looks like this woman is starting to suspect something. She went to the Missions Hall and accepted the mission to search for the Sky Ruby Flower. She must be thinking of escaping. Qiao Sa, accept the mission for the Furious Gale Mountain Ridge immediately. If she does not want to wait one more day, then I shall grant her wish.


Alright.
Qiao Sa pushed the door open quickly and left. Di Jiu saw clearly that he was heading in the direction of the Missions Hall.
Ouyang Tao left swiftly after Qiao Sa and headed away from the sect.
This time, Di Jiu did not shadow him. He had originally just wanted to investigate this matter and see if Jing Moshuang was in danger.
However, now that he knew Ouyang Tao wanted to kill him, he had no intention of avoiding him. If Ouyang Tao wanted to take his life, then he had to be willing to lose his.
Di Jiu planned on accepting a mission, as he needed an excuse to be able to leave the sect for long periods of time.
Di Jiu ran to Geng Ji’s door as fast as he could and banged on it a few times, all the while yelling,
Geng Ji! Leave the sect’s turf immediately and wait for me!

Di Jiu did not wait for Geng Ji’s reply. Instead, he hastily ran towards the Missions Hall.
When he walked into the hall, he saw Qiao Sa exit it. It looked like Qiao Sa had gotten the mission for the Furious Gale Mountain Ridge.

I want Mission No. 109.
Di Jiu did not look at the contents of the mission. He only looked at the deadline stated at the back.
The deadline for Mission No. 109 was six months later. After he had taken care of Qiao Sa and Ouyang Tao, it would be best to stay away for some time before heading back. He had to be careful, as Ouyang Tao had said that he had a Great Uncle that could allow Qiao Sa to enter the Creek Metal Peak. That Great Uncle had to hold a very high position.

You want to accept Mission No. 109?
The female cultivator of the Missions Hall looked at Di Jiu in surprise. She actually thought that she had misheard him.

Is there a problem?
Di Jiu asked in a commanding tone.
The female cultivator had wanted to tell him that this mission was very dangerous, yet when she heard his tone, she said without hesitation,
Give me your identification card. I will help you register.

Di Jiu gave her his card. When she looked at it, she shook her head speechlessly. Did he have a death wish? Why else would a new outer sect disciple accept the mission of the Millennial Floating Castle?
Di Jiu, who was only concerned about the speed of the procedure, turned around and left without hesitation as soon as he got the mission card. He was worried that he would not be able to catch up with Ouyang Tao if too much time passed.
…

Brother Jiu, I am here.
When Di Jiu reached the sect’s exit, he found Geng Ji waiting for him.

I have accepted a mission. Let’s carry out the mission together and get some sect points. We can exchange them for Spirit Stones when we come back.
Di Jiu slapped Geng Ji on the back.
Geng Ji, who did not understand what he meant, walked up to Di Jiu hurriedly and said quietly,
Brother Jiu, I saw Qiao Sa just now. He was hurrying in that direction.

Geng Ji pointed in a direction outside the square.

I know, we will teach him a lesson.
Di Jiu increased his walking speed.
Qiao Sa and Ouyang Tao obviously did not expect that someone would follow them out. When Di Jiu and Geng Ji walked out of the square, they came across Ouyang Tao and Qiao Sa, who had just met up.

Brother Jiu, Ouyang Tao is very powerful,
said Geng Ji worriedly when he saw Di Jiu start to follow Ouyang Tao and Qiao Sa.

They are chasing after Senior Sister Moshuang to kill her. I don’t care how powerful they are, we still have to follow them,
grunted Di Jiu.
Geng Ji immediately nodded his head.
Yes, we definitely cannot let them catch Senior Sister Moshuang and kill her.

Although Geng Ji was not very courageous, he was quite noble.
After Di Jiu’s intentional revelation, he and Geng Ji were discovered by Ouyang Tao at a place not far away from the sect.

Brother Tao, why are we not using flying Dharma treasures?
When he noticed that Ouyang Tao had been walking for so long without taking out his flying boat, Qiao Sa could not help but ask him why.
Most disciples who perfected the Qi Refinement realm owned flying Dharma treasures. However, inner sect disciples who attained Foundation Establishment might not possess one. Ouyang Tao had a flying boat because his Great Uncle Ouyang Mu was the head of the Creek Metal Peak.
Ouyang Tao smiled sinisterly.
Those two nobodies must have a death wish. How dare they shadow me? I will take them to a remote place and bury them there!


One of them is Geng Jihua.
Qiao Sa had also discovered the two men shadowing them.
Ouyang Tao nodded his head.
It looks like the other person is Di Jiu. Why are these two following us?


Could they have discovered that we are shadowing Jing Moshuang?
asked Qiao Sa curiously.

We will know soon enough.
Ouyang Tao quickened his pace.

They have discovered us.
When he noticed that Ouyang Tao had quickened his pace and changed direction, Di Jiu realized that he had achieved his goal. At least Ouyang Tao would not suddenly use a flying Dharma treasure to fly away.
After only one hour, Ouyang Tao lost his patience and intercepted Di Jiu and Geng Ji behind a small hill.

They discovered us a long time ago, Brother Jiu.
Geng Ji only realized this when they were intercepted.

Qiao Sa, chop off their legs and haul them over here!
Ouyang Tao did not intend to take action personally.
Qiao Sa, who understood what Ouyang Tao meant, looked down at Di Jiu and Geng Ji. When he opened his palm, two wind blades flew out.
In his opinion, his wind blades could chop off the legs of both those nobodies, who had no prior cultivation.
When the four wind blades collided in the air, Quintessential Essence exploded with a wave of sound.

What happened?
Qiao Sa was taken aback. Before he could regain his composure, Di Jiu lifted his hand and threw a wind blade once again.
Blood splattered as Qiao Sa was cut in half by Di Jiu. A fireball landed on Qiao Sa’s body, instantly enveloping it and producing a strange smell. Qiao Sa was only at the third-stage Qi Refinement realm. Back when Di Jiu had been at Qiao Sa’s current cultivation level, he had already been able to kill someone like Qiao Sa. Di Jiu had once reached the seventh-stage Qi Refinement realm. However, now that his cultivation level had dropped, his strength was even more powerful than when he had been at the seventh-stage Qi Refinement realm.

You’ve cultivated before?
Shocked, Ouyang Tao pulled out a long sword. The sword vibrated in his hand before it split into a dozen sword flares that engulfed Di Jiu.
When Di Jiu, who had once had a high-grade Dharma kitchen knife, saw Ouyang Tao’s long sword, he immediately knew that it was a supreme-grade Dharma weapon.

Brother Jiu…
Geng Ji looked at Di Jiu in shock.
Di Jiu pulled out the low-grade Dharma flying sword that he used as a long saber. As he swung the sword, he performed the Di Clan’s third saber move, the Cyclone Saber Move.
The flying sword created a whirlpool of Sword Qi that formed many rings that clashed with Ouyang Tao’s sword flares.
Crack! The sound of the sword flares cracking could be heard clearly. Di Jiu let out a breath of relief. Ouyang Tao seemed to be at the late-stage Qi Refinement realm. He was worried that Ouyang Tao, who had been cultivating with an immortal sect, would be more formidable than an Itinerant Cultivator like him. Amid that clashing, Di Jiu realized that Ouyang Tao was not as powerful as him.
The Sword Qi whirlpool swept forward, crushing the sword flares made by Ouyang Tao.
The fact that Di Jiu had cultivated before had shocked Ouyang Tao. As soon as Di Jiu’s first move had shattered his sword flares, Ouyang Tao realized that he was no match for Di Jiu and immediately started to back away.
Di Jiu had a lot of battle experience, so he naturally would not allow Ouyang Tao to leave. Instead, he chopped off Ouyang Tao’s legs with a swing of the flying sword in his hand.
Ouyang Tao fell to the ground. He looked at Di Jiu in terror for a moment before he started begging for his life.
