The one who had established space here to stop Di Jiu and Lightning was a fair-skinned, somewhat baby-fat looking youth. Even when he was asking for the toll, his slightly arched eyes still looked like he was smiling in general.
Seeing Di Jiu inquire, this baby-fat youth immediately said, “How can I say that I am asking you for a landing fee, this territory is now mine you have no problem with it, right? And are you pa*sing through my territory? I’ve been working hard here for countless years, it’s not like I’m just asking you for landing fees …… right, I want to ask you for landing fees.”
The baby-fat youth explained for half a day, seemingly feeling that his words were also a bit preposterous, and in the end, simply admitted what he thought.
Lightning stared at the baby-fat youth with wide eyes for a while before saying, “You’re not very good at this road blocking.”
“I’ve been stopping the road here for 9.31 million years, and you’re actually saying that my skills are not good? I tell you, I have stopped a total of …… in these years,” the baby-fat youth paused again at this point and said after a moment’s hesitation, “Yes, my road-blocking skills are not good.”
Only now did he remember that he hadn’t gotten a single spirit stone so far in his road blocking here. Rather, he had been taught a lesson countless times, and if he hadn’t been so strong in escaping, would he still have had the chance to continue standing here and blocking the road?
“Before us, there was a guy who looked like a piece of wood-like have you seen it?” Lightning remembered Shen Mu Yuan who had come out earlier.
Hearing Lightning’s words, the baby-fat youth’s spirit lifted and he rubbed his hands together and said, “I saw him, that guy had a big piece of Dao-refining gold, and he showed it to me, I really envied him.”
“Didn’t you ask for a landing fee? Didn’t you ask him for a bit of dao-refining gold?” Lightning asked somewhat less than generously.
The baby-fat youth said awkwardly, “That he was a bit strong, I couldn’t beat him and he beat me up.”
Lightning laughed, “Shen Mu Yuan still has some mercy, he didn’t even kill you.”
The baby-fat youth’s face turned red, “He killed me? Let me tell you, although I can’t beat him, but even if several of him put together, they won’t be able to catch me Ding Xiao Ding.”
“Your name is Ding Xiao Ding?” Lightning suddenly felt that this name was so bad compared to his own.
Ding Xiao Ding looked at Lightning, “What? Don’t believe my name is Ding Xiao Ding? You must have heard my big name from somewhere else, right? I, Ding Xiao Ding, don’t stop nameless people.”
Di Jiu was all a bit speechless as he looked helplessly at the baby-fat youth in front of him and asked, “Since you even know that you can’t get anything here, why do you still stay here?”
Seemingly being asked a sad question, Ding Xiao Ding swept away the excitement he had just felt, and his face immediately took on a sad look, “You think I want to, I was forced to swear by a big-headed guy before staying here. I, Ding Xiao Ding, am a man of my word, since I have promised something, how can I just renege?”
However, Di Jiu could see that Ding Xiao Ding’s words were not true, his divine thoughts fell on Ding Xiao Ding and he quickly sensed that something was wrong. There was an aura of Dao rhyme surrounding Ding Xiao Ding’s brow, and this Dao rhyme was familiar to Di Jiu: the Dao of Life and Death.
If he hadn’t cultivated the Dao of Life and Death, and the Dao Tree also had Dao branches of the Dao of Life and Death, Di Jiu really wouldn’t have been able to detect the Dao of Life and Death aura on Ding Xiao Ding’s brow.
“If I’m not wrong, even if your means of escape is powerful, you can’t leave this place beyond a certain range. If you exceed a certain range, you will be dead.” Di Jiu looked at Ding Xiao Ding and said with a smile.
Ding Xiao Ding was stunned and subconsciously asked, “How do you know?”
“Tell me, what did the Sage of Life and Death leave you here to help him do?” Di Jiu was already sure at this moment that Ding Xiao Ding was left behind by the Sage of Life and Death, and that Dao of Life and Death that bound Ding Xiao Ding’s little life was proof of that.
“He told me to stay here to improve my strength, as long as I block the way here, there are plenty of cultivation resources.” Ding Xiao Ding opened his mouth to answer, and then felt wrong afterwards, why did he have to answer Di Jiu’s question? And how did Di Jiu know about the Sage of Life and Death?
Di Jiu said, “If my guess is right, your purple mansion has been entangled by the Dao of Life and Death for a long time, and some of the words come out involuntarily. Letting you block the way here? You yourself know that you haven’t succeeded even once, right?”
Even with Ding Xiao Ding’s great strength, it would be strange for him to be able to beat a strong person who had crossed the Great Dao Formation Gate when his purple mansion was entangled in the Dao of Life and Death.
There were several reasons for Ding Xiao Ding to stay here Di Jiu was not sure, but what was clear to Di Jiu was that one of the reasons for Ding Xiao Ding to stay here and fight all of them must be to collect information on the Dao Rhyme of the Dao for cultivators from all sides for the Sage of Life and Death.
There was not a single weak cultivator who could pa*s through the Dao Formation Gate. This fellow, the Sage of Life and Death, is here to collect the Dao of all kinds of powerful people to perfect his own Dao tree. There must be a limit to how many gates of life and death he could set up, and it would be impossible to set up gates of life and death in every place after all.
In case a strong person of a top Dao crossed the Dao formation gate and he missed it, he would rely on Ding Xiao Ding to intercept the other party and obtain Dao information. If there was a certain Dao that he, the Sage of Life and Death, saw, he would do everything he could to find this strong person who had pa*sed through the Dao Formation Gate and strip the Dao base of the other party.
The life that Shen Mu Yuan escaped from the hands of the Sage of Life and Death, he would still be detected by the Sage of Life and Death after he crossed the Avenue Formation Gate again and met Ding Xiao Ding, which was also a purpose of the Sage of Life and Death. Who would still be alive after being stripped of his Dao Dao base by him.
Ding Xiao Ding could still survive here until now, so it was evident that the means of escape that was very powerful.
“I say, Ding Xiao Ding, look at you, you probably won’t be able to beat a few if you stay here, why don’t you come with us and travel the vast chaos, wouldn’t it be a better mess than staying in this sh*tty place.” Lightning had some good feelings for Ding Xiao Ding, thinking that this guy was just an intestine, so it wouldn’t be lonely to travel the chaos together.
Ding Xiao Ding was dumbfounded and then shook his head like a rattle, “No, no. I have to keep my promise, and I can’t leave. I’ll not rob you if I see you in my eyes, but you have to fight me before you can leave.”
Ding Xiao Ding’s last words were addressed to Di Jiu.
Seeing that Lightning still wanted to say something else, Di Jiu waved his hand, “It’s true that he can’t get away, his purple mansion is locked by a top Dao rule, unless he can strip the Dao rule that locks his purple mansion, otherwise, leaving a certain range of this place would be a death sentence.”
“Huh, you’re amazing.” Ding Xiao Ding gave a eek, looking at Di Jiu with amazement in his eyes. He had been stopping the road here for I don’t know how many years, and he didn’t know how many strong people he had met. But only this one person in front of him could see that his purple mansion was locked by the Dao and could see that he couldn’t escape beyond a certain range.
Di Jiu said, “I’m not very impressive, because the guy who locked your Purple Mansion also tried to strip me of the Dao Laws, and I ended up teaching him a lesson. So I can tell that what is locked in your purple mansion is actually a Dao of Life and Death. If you don’t want to stay here, I can help you unlock it.”
“You can help me unlock the Dao of Life and Death?” Ding Xiao Ding looked at Di Jiu in surprise, he had really had enough of staying in this sh*tty place. Initially, he thought that what that big head said was true, that he would have endless cultivation resources if he stopped here, but then he realised that was a dream.
“Yes, I can help you unlock the Dao of Life and Death, the guy who locked you up and I also have a not-so-subtle grudge, so maybe I can even help you a little in the future.” Di Jiu nodded his head.
At this moment the surprise in Ding Xiao Ding’s eyes was gone, he shook his head and said, “Still, I can’t, I made a Dao Oath to stay here and guard this place for 30 million years, and to stop everyone who pa*ses by, so I can’t leave.”
The Dao Oath was no joke, once broken, one’s Dao would fizzle out and disappear, just like the Oath.
Di Jiu said disdainfully, “In my eyes, that Dao Oath of yours is just that, if you are willing, I have ten thousand ways to get you out of here, and still make you keep the Dao Oath.”
“Then show me in the easiest way possible.” Ding Xiao Ding was a little unhappy, Di Jiu was very powerful, he, Ding Xiao Ding, was not a vegetarian either. If there was a way, would he, Ding Xiao Ding, have waited until today?
