No matter if Niruan was hiding somewhere or not, this matter was beyond Mu-jae’s control. As the tide of insects** came over, she could only continue to lead the group against the insects.
Di Jiu thought about how he had been too flashy before, and that he embodied such a powerful fighting force, there was no guarantee that no one would suspect. He simply did not use the means of the Great Law Formation again, but only used the Heavenly Shao Blade to deal with the insects.
Even so, after eleven days, Di Jiu had collected a bunch of worms.
After eleven days of guarding the wormhole, Di Jiu also had a general understanding of the wormhole. Not every bug had only one point, some bugs had more than one point, for example, the sawtooth bug he once killed had three points, and as for the rarely seen double-horned dragon beast bug, it even had a hundred points.
There are very few bugs that carry eggs, so if he can break open the belly of a bug and get one, he’ll be rich.
After only eleven days, every one of the living cultivators looked exhausted, and some even had a faint greenish tinge on their faces, which was a sign of light poisoning.
According to Kan Yiwei’s words, this time their losses were considered to be rather heavy, with over a hundred people dying this time.
The protective formation was opened again, and just like Di Jiu and the others who had come before, there were more than a thousand people standing outside the formation, who had come to replace them in guarding the wormhole.
Mu Jie briefly handed over to the incoming cultivators, and led a group of cultivators who had long wanted to leave to rush out from the wormhole’s guard line.
Only after they broke out of the guard line and the guard line behind them closed again did all of them breathe a long sigh of relief that the torturous eleven days had finally pa*sed.
Many cultivators went to the contribution points exchange office to take out the bug carca*ses and prepare to exchange them for contribution points, and Di Jiu also planned to do so.
“Brother Zimo, don’t exchange all the worms, it is useful to keep some.” Kan Yiwei saw that Di Jiu was also going to exchange for bug materials and immediately came over and said.
Di Jiu nodded, “Thank you, I know.”
Mu Jie, however, was not in the mood to exchange contribution points, and the first thing she did was to tell Shen Changshui about Ni Luan.
When Shen Changshui heard that Ni Luan was caught in the wormhole while he was guarding the wormhole in the northern district, he was immediately stunned and he hurriedly rushed to where the wormhole was.
By the time Shen Changshui arrived, Di Jiu had already exchanged all the worm materials, and he did not listen to Kan Yiwei who had left some worm materials behind. These worm materials were not worth much to Di Jiu, he had plenty of materials for refining and was not short of these worm materials.
“Mu Jie, Zi Mo, you two come with me.” Shen Changshui’s face was a little ugly after he was sure about Niruan, but it was always a good thing that Di Jiu could risk his life to enter the wormhole to save others, and even actually saved a dozen cultivators who had fallen into the wormhole before.
“Brother Zimmer, I will come back to visit when you return.” Kan Yiwei also finished exchanging materials, he didn’t know how many worm corpses Di Jiu had exchanged at once, he could feel that Di Jiu had exchanged out quite a lot of worms this time.
Zhuo Wujia had already known that Ni Luan should have been killed by Di Jiu, he just nodded to Di Jiu before he left with Kan Yiwei.
Di Jiu is so strong and does things in a very rounded way, there should not be any problems.
……
The place where Shen Changshui lived was in the most central part of the northern district, and there was a large courtyard outside the cave, and some immortal spirit gra*ses were planted inside the courtyard, although the grade was not high, it also made the place very dense with immortal spirit qi, and it was very comfortable to walk in.
“Mu Jie, you’ve caused a big trouble.” The first thing Shen Changshui said after he sat down was that Mu-jae had caused trouble.
Mu Jie sighed and didn’t answer, she also knew she had caused trouble, who made her unlucky? This Niruan had to come to the trial when she was guarding the wormhole, it was simply a backlash.
The first thing that happened was that the worm was too many, and when she was caught in the wormhole, she was doing her best to save her. It was also because Lord Mu had told us that we must protect Niruan that I risked my life to enter the wormhole to rescue her, but unfortunately it still didn’t work.”
Hearing Di Jiu’s words, Mu Jie glanced at Di Jiu gratefully, she was now even more certain that Di Jiu was helping her by entering the wormhole to save Niruan.
Shen Changshui sighed, “I can no longer do anything about this matter, I told the deacon in charge of the wormhole guarding, I guess the Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce should know about it by now, if I’m not wrong, they are about to come here now. This time …… it’s likely that the Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce’s Guild Master will come over personally.”
……
At this moment, under the array display of the wormhole contribution score, a large group of cultivators were discussing in surprise as two newcomers rushed up to the top 1,000.
One of them, the fellow named Zi Mo, had even scored three thousand six hundred and twenty-one contribution points, ascending to the five hundred and thirtieth place in the wormhole contribution score. Another guy called Zhuo Wujia had a contribution score of one thousand one hundred and forty, reaching number nine hundred and thirty-six on the contribution score list.
This was a remarkable thing. One had to know that it would take many years for an ordinary cultivator to reach the top 1,000. This was because at the end of each year, the previous scores would be halved and carried over to the second year.
Looking at the list Wang Qi’s face was a little gloomy, he had arranged for seven people to take on Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia, but these seven people all said that Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were too powerful and they had no chance to take on them. He had some doubts about these people’s words before, but now that he saw the contribution score list, he realised that this guy called Zi Mo was really powerful. That Zhuo Wu family wasn’t simple either, simple wouldn’t be able to make it to the top 1000. You know, they had only been to the wormhole once.
But it wasn’t without good news, Niruan had actually disappeared in this guardian wormhole. He was sure that Nixie Blade would not let it go easily.
……
Wang Xie did not guess wrong, Nixie Blade indeed would not let this matter go, and at this time, he had already come to Shen Changshui’s cave with the wormhole deacon Chang Xin leading the way.
Shen Changshui had already led Mu Jie and Di Jiu to greet him outside the cave, bowing to the ground from afar, “Worm Cave Northern Region team leader Shen Changshui pays his respects to Deacon Chang and Club Master Ni.”
Mu Jie bowed to the ground in the same way, while Di Jiu pretended not to recognise anything and gave a somewhat bewildered salute.
He recognised Nixie Blade, whose exact strength he could not see at all, but the other party stood here as if it was a vast and boundless world. Di Jiu was certain that no matter how many means he had, it was almost as if all Nixie Blade had to do to kill him was to stretch out his hand.
This Nixie Blade still looked very handsome, his eyes were somewhat slender, and he looked somewhat harmless on the surface, but Di Jiu felt a terrifying fierce aura from him that was against me.
Compared to Nixie Blade, the deacon of the wormhole, Chang Xin’s cultivation level, although also far stronger than his own, was still within the range of his perception.
Nixie Blade’s gaze fell on Mu Jie and said in a flat tone, “Tell us what happened then.”
“Yes.” Mu Jie’s face was pale and she told the situation at that time without adding anything halfway.
Hearing about Di Jiu risking his life to go in and save Ni Luan, Nixie Blade’s gaze fell on Di Jiu. Di Jiu had long known that the other party’s divine thoughts had broken through his ring, and even though his heart was furious to the extreme, he still didn’t dare to move. Luckily, he cultivated the rule dao and could allow himself to merge into space without revealing his anger.
“Bring out the array plate and I’ll take a look.” Nixie Blade spoke in a calm tone.
Di Jiu didn’t hesitate and took out the array plate of his own accord.
Nixie Blade took Di Jiu’s array plate and looked at it for a while, but instead of returning it to Di Jiu, he put it away and took out a pill and handed it to Di Jiu and said, “You are not bad, you can do the act of risking your life to save each other, I reward you with a Dao Ascension Pill, take it now.”
After saying that, a milky white pill hovered in front of Di Jiu.
When Mu Jie saw this elixir, her face instantly paled, she had never seen this kind of Dao Ascension Pill, but had heard of it. After swallowing this kind of elixir, one’s own Dao would gradually be stripped away and then integrated into this elixir. That premonition in her heart was indeed correct, Nixie Blade would still spare her even if she didn’t spare Di Jiu? The reason why she didn’t kill Di Jiu directly now was probably still related to that formation plate of Di Jiu’s.
“Thank you for the generous gift from the Guild Master.” Di Jiu excitedly grabbed the elixir and swallowed it without half a second’s hesitation.
Nixie Blade nodded in satisfaction as a hint of sarcasm flashed at the corner of Chang Xin’s eyes on the side.
Nixie Blade’s gaze fell on Mu Jie once again and said indifferently, “My son was swept into the wormhole and you are still alive ……”
