In just a dozen breaths of time, a somewhat seeping laughter appeared at the entrance of the Sea King Palace clan gate. A man with a short figure, a rusty face and some faint lines on his arms appeared at the entrance of the clan gate, and just as he landed, he clasped his fist and said with a big smile, “It is indeed a great honor for my Sea King Palace to have Patriarch Di of the Star River Clan come to the Sea King Palace. My humble self, Ao Qianblade, the Supreme Elder of the Sea King Palace, Sovereign Di, please, please, please ……”
There were three invitations in a row, seemingly expressing his warmth and the hospitality of the Sea King Palace. Di Jiu heard it, his tone was a little reluctant and even carried a hint of reluctance.
Di Jiu didn’t care, he just didn’t want to be used by Di Fei Xue, it didn’t mean he was afraid of the Sea King Palace.
“Many thanks to Elder Ao.” Di Jiu also clasped his fist and returned the salute, and without hesitation, he stepped into the teleportation formation door.
A vortex of power came through and Di Jiu landed on the ground. The real Sea King Palace appeared in front of Di Jiu. The sect’s aura swept in like a furious wave, and a stone staircase made of jade under the sea led all the way to the entrance of the Sea King Palace’s palace.
The dense water attribute spiritual qi came from the palace, and Di Jiu sighed in accordance with the person who built the Sea King Palace was really courageous to find such a precious place, and then also established the sect here.
Ao Qianren kept introducing the history of the Sea King Palace and some rumours of the Wuyang Sea along the way, and Di Jiu was a little distracted listening.
Ao Qianren was a bit angry and anxious in his heart, he didn’t know what Di Jiu wanted to do here.
It was true that Ao Huang, the Sovereign of the Sea King Palace, had tried to set Di Jiu up, but that was already in the past and Ao Huang had fallen long ago, so the matter should have been put to rest.
Half a column of incense later, Di Jiu was led to the guest hall of the Sea King Palace by the Sea King Palace Elder Ao Qianren. When the three men sitting in the guest hall saw Di Jiu enter, they all stood up and greeted him with a fist at the same time.
With a slight sweep of Di Jiu’s divine thoughts, he knew that there was a level 9 trap and kill formation outside this guest hall. In this guest hall there was also an Elder of the third level of Transformation Truth, and from what he had just signed up himself, it seemed that his name was Ao Junhua. The remaining two were Robust Life realm cultivators, and it looked like all the people in the Sea King Palace were a little uneasy and wary of Di Jiu’s arrival.
After Di Jiu sat down and took a sip of tea, he simply said bluntly, “I have just come out of seclusion and heard that Daoist Ao Huang of the Sea King Palace was tragically killed, so I have come to send a belated condolence. When my Star River Sect was first opened, Daoist Ao Huang even went to congratulate him, but in the blink of an eye, Daoist Ao Huang was separated from the world, which makes people sigh.”
The two supreme elders and two inner sect elders of the Sea King Palace looked at each other, not quite understanding what Di Jiu meant by this.
Di Jiu didn’t think about gaining the friendship of the Sea King Palace either, and after saying this, his tone changed, “I heard that the murderer pointed directly at me after Daoist Ao Huang’s fall, so I had to come and clarify. I, Di Jiu, have killed the head of one clan, and there is nothing I dare not admit yet. When the patriarchs of the Kun Sect and the Void Sword Sect fell, I never thought of coming to clarify, I only thought of going to exterminate these two sects. But the death of Daoist Ao Huang of the Sea King Palace had nothing to do with me; after I saved Patriarch Yan Xueyi and Patriarch Inquisitor Feng in the Desert River Forbidden Land, I had been in seclusion in the sect and learned of Daoist Ao Huang’s terrible news when I came out.”
“But when the Patriarch fell, a Di character was carved and sent out.” One of the elders couldn’t hold back a bit.
Ao Qianblade chided, “How can Patriarch Di tell lies.”
Di Jiu didn’t care about this double talk, he still said, “If I had done it, Ao Huang wouldn’t have had the chance to even take out the jade slip, not to mention sending back a word. That word from Ao Huang was obviously intended by the other party for him to send out, just to make the Sea King Palace suspect me.”
Several elders from the Sea King Palace fell silent, and Di Jiu didn’t care if they believed it or not as he continued, “The reason I came to clarify this matter was not because I was afraid of the Sea King Palace, but I didn’t want to be counted by a woman.”
“A woman is scheming?” Ao Junhua looked at Di Jiu with confusion, not quite understanding what Di Jiu meant.
Di Jiu said calmly, “Because I know who killed Daoist Ao Huang.”
“Who was it?” Almost all the elders asked in unison, Di Jiu had killed Ao Huang and they didn’t dare to take revenge, if Ao Huang really wasn’t killed by Di Jiu, then there was nothing that he, the Sea King Palace, didn’t dare to take revenge for.
“The one who killed Ao Huang was Di Feixue of the Little Central World, if I’m not wrong, it should be her father and daughter who moved.”
Di Jiu stood up after saying this, “If the few of you want to take revenge, I hope that you won’t take it out on the rest of the Di family. Although I have a thin bloodline with the Di family in the Little Central World, I am still considered to be from the same family. That is all for today, farewell.”
No matter how much Ao Qianren tried to persuade him, Di Jiu turned around and left without any half-hearted hesitation. He had come here just to say these few words, whether the Sea King Palace believed it or not, it had nothing to do with him.
……
“What does everyone think of that Patriarch Di’s words?” After sending Di Jiu away, Ao Qianblade returned to the guest hall and asked in his first words.
“I think what that Young Master Red Ta*sel said should be true.” It was Ao Junhua who spoke.
Without waiting for others to ask, Ao Junhua explained, “With Di Jiu’s status and position, there is no need for him to make this trip to deceive us. As he said, if the Sovereign of my Sea King Palace had really died by his hand, he definitely wouldn’t have hidden it, there was really no need for him to do that. I heard that the Kun Clan and the Void Sword Clan could be saved mainly because the disciples of the Heavenly Purification Sect had stepped in. Patriarch Huang and Di Jiu don’t have any major conflicts of interest, and without angering Di Jiu, Di Jiu won’t move to kill.”
An elder at the seventh level of the Life Robbing Realm also said, “I agree with Elder Jun Hua’s words, Young Master Hong Ying has always been very arrogant, he should not care to lie about such matters. That Di Fei Xue is somewhat mysterious, having broken the record of the Five Continents Dao Tower and ascended to the 108th floor. My Neptune Palace Patriarch has been holding a grudge against the Five Continents Daoist Tower, most likely because he followed Di Feixue after she ascended to the 108th floor. This woman is unpredictable, plus her father Di Cai Shang is also a person with a deep heart, it is not impossible to a*sa*sinate the Sovereign of my Sea King Palace.”
Ao Qianblade said in a deep voice, “Exactly, I am sure that Young Master Hong Ying is telling the truth, he is enraged by Di Fei Xue. This woman is calculating him in such a way, that Young Master Red Ta*sel is not a master who is willing to suffer losses.”
……
When Di Jiu returned to the clan, Illusionary Mingzi and Xian Zai were already waiting at the entrance of the clan. As soon as Di Jiu returned, he immediately said, “Di Jiu, you and Xian Zei hurry to the True Domain, leave this place to me.”
Di Jiu was puzzled and said, “Senior Illusion, aren’t you going to the True Domain with me?”
Illusionary Mingzi shook his head, “My current lifespan may be longer than yours, so it is best for me to stay in the Star River Sect. If we all leave, the strongest Geng Jie of the Star River Sect in terms of cultivation would only be at the late stage of the Robbed Life realm.”
Illusion Mingzi didn’t finish his later words, but Di Jiu already understood what he meant, which was that if all the strongest people of the Xinghe Sect left, then the newly established Xinghe Sect would most likely fall apart again.
Xian then also said on the side, “Senior Brother Illusion’s idea was spoken to me, and as long as I go to the Immortal World, I can help to do it. Senior Brother Illusion is right, the Xinghe Sect’s Hua Zhen cannot all leave.”
“I’m still here, when I come back from the True Realm, I will definitely return to the Star River Sect.” Di Jiu said.
Illusionary Mingzi laughed, “Di Jiu, it’s only been a few years? You are already at the True Transformation Realm, you said that even if you were still in the Star River Sect, I’m afraid you wouldn’t stay longer than me. If you can win first place this time, you will go with Xian Ze. If you can’t win first place, you don’t have to go back to the Little Central World, you can stay in the True Domain and cultivate until you reach the Domain Realm.”
“Yes, Sovereign, Elder Illusion has said that a sect cannot remain under shelter if it is to develop. The Star River Sect has just been established and is bound to experience more things. Only after experiencing the baptism of hardships can one step up to a higher level.” Wei Shanshan, who was on the other side, also stood out and said.
Not only Wei Shanshan, but apart from Geng Jie, Di Di and Yu Jie who had gone out for the trial, the rest of the people who knew Di Jiu were all here.
Di Jiu’s original intention was to go to the True Realm with Illusionary Mingzi and Xian Zexie, and then participate in the True Realm Genius War. Once he had obtained the quota to go to the Immortal World, he would hand it over to Xian Ze and Illusion Mingzi and return to the Little Central World himself.
His main purpose for returning to the Little Central World was still because the Star River Sect had just been established and had no heritage, making it easy to be destroyed. Now that he had heard Illusory Mingzi’s words, he felt that it was also right. If he were to develop the sect with his kind of mentality, I was afraid that even if the sect developed, it would still lack an enterprising spirit. In this respect, he was no match for Illusory Mingzi. Not to mention what Mo Yu had a*sured him, that within a hundred years the Star River Sect would not have any problems.
After a hundred years had pa*sed, with the resources he had left in the Xinghe Clan, it should be possible for a group of True Transformation powerhouses to emerge as well.
Thinking of this, Di Jiu took out a ring and handed it to Illusionary Mingzi, transmitting his voice, “Senior Illusionary, there are eight True Root Pills in here, as well as some pills for advancing to Robust Birth and Multiplying Cauldron. There are twenty upper grade spirit veins and twenty extreme grade spirit veins, of which there are two rings, senior help me give them to Geng Ji and Di Di. After I leave, the Star River Sect will be in senior’s hands.”
“What?” Illusionary Mingzi’s hand shook and he almost dropped the rings on the ground.
He still held the ring in his hand in some disbelief until Di Jiu and Xian Zexie said their farewells and left. He was at least once the pavilion master of the Tianji Pavilion. That was it, and he had never seen so many good things in his hands.
……
At the same time, in a cave in the Little Central World that was dense with spiritual energy, Di Fei Xue let out a soft chirp and rose up with a long body. She had finally crossed into the second level of True Transformation before the Great Genius Competition of the True Domain.
Her gaze landed on the location of the Star River Sect in the distance, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her eyes, before she muttered, “A coward.”
In her opinion, Di Jiu was a coward. After she had used Di Jiu at her door at the beginning, she thought that Di Jiu would definitely kill the Patriarchs of the Five Great Sects with the help of Illusionary Mingzi. Unexpectedly, Di Jiu was so useless that he only killed a Xiao Wu, and it was not quite certain whether Xiao Wu’s death was related to Di Jiu.
Ao Huang, the Sovereign of the Sea King Palace, had gone to the Star River Sect and ended up leaving unharmed, and she even needed her own personal help to kill Ao Huang.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have enough time, if she had enough time, she would definitely have to find another way to finish off Yan Xueyi and Inquisitor Feng. For now, she could only go to the True Domain for the Genius War first.
