He was surprised that a man who practiced the Star River Technique was actually locked in the fire prison formation, and the fire around him licked at the man’s body from time to time. Every time the fire licked at the man’s body, the man’s body just trembled a little. There was no telling how long the man had been burnt, and now he could not even see what his face looked like, there was only some broken and disfigured skin hanging on the bones that had been burnt black long ago.
Di Jiu frowned slightly, this chained man could cultivate to the ninth level of the Robbed Life realm, he was definitely not an ordinary disciple. Since he was not an ordinary disciple, why did he have to use this kind of torture?
The Star River Sect was established by him, there was no such cruel torture only.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts turned once again, this time his divine thoughts landed on a man in scarlet cultivator’s robes, who was already at the fourth level of Transformation Truth and was cultivating at the Star River Peak, the very centre of the entire sect.
The Star River Peak was the seat of the Star River Sect’s Patriarch, and since this man was at the Star River Peak, he was obviously the Patriarch. Di Jiu’s divine thoughts landed on the face of this man in scarlet clothes and felt that this guy was somewhat familiar.
“Where did your patriarch come from?” Di Jiu withdrew his divine thoughts and his gaze once again landed on this formation guarding disciple.
This disciple guarding the formation was completely furious, he felt that his patience today wasn’t a little too good, he hadn’t had a fit so far. He was so patient, but this visitor didn’t seem to take it to heart, not to mention that he didn’t answer his own words up to now, but he even dared to ask him where the Patriarch of the Star River Sect was from with such a big grin.
“Get lost!” The formation flag in this gatekeeper’s hand was raised and he kicked out once again.
Di Jiu raised his hand and just slapped the disciple in empty space, sending him flying straight away. If this was not the Star River Sect, this slap would have killed the guard disciple.
The guarding disciples of the clan’s protective formation were usually two people, one outside the clan’s protective formation and one inside the clan’s protective formation.
Now that Di Jiu had slapped the disciple outside the clan’s protective formation, the one inside the protective formation immediately pulled the alarm bell.
The eyes of the scarlet-clothed man who was in seclusion at Star River Peak suddenly opened, and then his body unfolded and he directly rushed out of the cave where he was in seclusion.
Xiang Tian Yi looked at Di Jiu with some confusion, thinking that since this sect was established by Di Jiu, why did this happen? Naturally, he was not aware that Di Jiu had long since ascended to the Immortal Realm and had only returned again this time after a gap of many years.
Di Jiu was actually a bit puzzled too, although not many disciples in this sect could recognize him, but according to the general sect rules, after he left the Star River Sect, his portrait would definitely be hung in the sect’s great ancestral hall. New disciples joining the clan would definitely have to worship the ancestor’s portrait only.
Now the actual situation was not like that at all ah, he, the ancestor, returned and the disciple guarding the door gave him a kick.
“Stand still, who are you? How dare you barge into my Star River Sect’s premises.” The man in scarlet clothes rushed to the Star River Sect’s main square just in time to see Di Jiu walking out onto the main square with his country girl and Xiang Tian Yi.
The reason why he didn’t make a move was because he couldn’t even see Di Jiu’s cultivation level.
However, he was not worried, the two people beside Di Jiu, one was just a young girl at the Golden Dan stage. The other one had a stronger cultivation, but was only a Void God realm, and had lost an arm. With two people like that, Di Jiu’s strength would not be any stronger.
But his mother had told him since he was a child not to underestimate any person. Since the other party dared to openly make a move against the Star River Sect disciples and even broke into the Star River Sect outer protection formation, it was definitely not as simple as it appeared. That was why he had merely quietly activated the trapping and killing formation, and then waited for the many elders to arrive before making his move against Di Jiu.
“You are Di Xizeng, the current Patriarch of the Xinghe Sect?” Di Jiu’s tone was a little cold, with such a guardian formation disciple, the sect’s patriarch was definitely hard to escape blame.
After Di Jiu finished his words, a dozen of figures had long since vanished from the Star River Grand Plaza, surrounding Di Jiu and the three of them in the middle in just a short time.
“Who is Di Fei Xue to you?” Di Jiu finally remembered why he looked somewhat familiar to Di Xizeng, but it was because Di Xizeng vaguely had Di Feixue’s shadow in it.
Di Xizeng was startled in his heart, this man knew his mother? It looked like his guess was indeed correct, this fellow who came was not simple. In his mind, simple people could not possibly know his mother.
“Sovereign ……” A surprised voice rang out, followed by an old crone rushing out and kneeling in front of Di Jiu.
If this old woman was thrown in the crowd, Di Jiu would not really recognize her, not only was she old, her face was also furrowed, and she could not see her original appearance at all.
Now that the old woman rushed to Di Jiu, Di Jiu recognized her and asked in a shocked voice, “Are you Shanshan? Wei Shanshan?”
The old woman was in tears, “Yes, I am none other than Wei Shanshan.”
“How did you become like this?” Di Jiu looked at Wei Shanshan in disbelief, Wei Shanshan was not too old, and her cultivation level was not low back then, and her looks were still quite beautiful, so how could she be getting older and older, and had turned into such a terrible appearance?
Immediately afterwards, Di Jiu found a soul ban inside Wei Shanshan’s body. This soul ban was so terrifying that as soon as the person who placed the ban moved, Wei Shanshan would immediately be destroyed.
Just as Di Jiu’s divine thought landed on Wei Shanshan’s soul ban, a ripple fluctuated in Wei Shanshan’s soul ban. It was obvious that the person who had placed the ban on Wei Shanshan wanted to kill Wei Shanshan.
Di Jiu sneered in his heart, he raised his hand and grabbed it, the soul restraint that was placed inside Wei Shanshan’s body was directly grabbed out by Di Jiu, without the ability to resist at all.
Wei Shanshan said eagerly, “The Di family wants to take over the Star River Sect ……”
After Wei Shanshan said these few words, she was stunned, it was reasonable to say that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would immediately be killed by the ban. Di Xi Zeng would never give her the chance to say so much to speak, but after she said such a word, not only was she not killed, but her body was lightened and the ban that always controlled her life and death suddenly disappeared.
What was going on?
“He had placed the soul ban inside Wei Shanshan’s body, and he could have killed her with a single thought, but now that he had repeatedly pushed the ban, there was no reaction at first, but at the end there was no sensation at all. This was too odd.
The soul ban was crushed into pieces in his hand.
He stared at Di Jiu in horror, “Who are you? Are you going to come to my Star River Sect and kill innocent people just because your cultivation is stronger? Do you want to kill innocent people? My Xinghe Clan is at least a top clan in the Little Central World, are you not afraid of causing a siege in the whole Little Central World like this?”
As Di Xizeng spoke, he had already activated the clan’s trapping and killing formation, and something even more frightening happened to him, after his trapping and killing formation banner was sacrificed, this most powerful trapping and killing formation in the Little Central World did not react in the slightest.
“Haha ……” Di Jiu laughed, “My name is Di Jiu, I founded the Star River Sect, who do you think I am?”
Di Xizeng shuddered, then he showed a surprised expression, “So it is the family uncle who has returned, Xizeng has met the family uncle.”
Di Jiu raised his hand and with a slap, he sent Di Xizeng flying, Di Xizeng spurted out a mouthful of blood in the void and fell to the side.
Di Jiu didn’t even bother to look at Di Xizeng, Di Fei Xue was no good, and he guessed that this son was no good either. And where did Di Di and Uncle Tian go?”
The rest of the Star River Sect elders also reacted, and it turned out that the person who came was Di Jiu, the old ancestor who founded the Star River Sect.
Although the portrait of the founder of the Star River Sect Ancestral Hall had been taken away straight away, it had only been a number of years, and everyone knew in their hearts that the Star River Sect’s had been founded by Di Jiu, not the Di family of the Little Central World.
Wei Shanshan once again bowed to Di Jiu before saying, “Sister Di went to the True Realm after her cultivation became complete, and the position of Patriarch was pa*sed on to Patriarch Geng. After Sovereign Geng’s cultivation became complete, he also went to the True Domain and pa*sed the position of Sovereign to Tian Taishang. Tian Taishang later went to the True Domain with Illusionary Brightness Taishang, and the patriarchal throne was pa*sed to Patriarch JI Yuan’ang.”
“JI Yuan’ang?” Di Jiu had not heard of this name.
Wei Shanshan nodded, “Yes, Patriarch JI was Patriarch Geng’s personal disciple, so after Tai Shang Tian and Tai Shang Illusionary Mingzi left, the patriarchal throne was pa*sed to him. But the Di family came and they said that the identity of good JI Yuan’ang was unknown. The Star River Sect was founded by the Di family and the position of Patriarch could not be given to someone whose identity was unknown. At that time, when the Di family came, they also invited several patriarchs of big sects to witness the event.
Several elders inside the clan disagreed, and one of the Di family’s True Transformation elders became so angry that he killed those elders on the spot. Not only that, Patriarch JI was also imprisoned inside the Fire Prison Formation for opposing this matter.”
Di Jiu opened his hand and the man trapped in the flaming formation was grabbed by Di Jiu in front of the crowd, “Shanshan, is the JI Yuan’ang you are talking about him?”
