"Ge Yi…" Wu Bahu's voice once again quaked when he saw the long-haired man walking over. Di Jiu even saw his hand shaking.
Wu Bahu, who was even unafraid of death, was actually afraid of Ge Yi. Di Jiu's gaze landed on Ge Yi. Ge Yi's cultivation level was at the ninth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, and he was surrounded by a layer of bloodlust. He was obviously no saint.
Di Jiu sighed silently. Even though the Essence Soul Realm cultivator called Sang Li had not come to the Ji Nation's Pearl City, his father Di Shan would also have been no match for Ge Yi.
"You're the sole member of the Di Family who escaped?" Ge Yi walked up to Di Jiu with both hands behind his back.
Before Di Jiu could speak, Wu Bahu suddenly laughed. Tears were streaming down his cheeks as he told Di Jiu, "Di Jiu, the Wu Family has let the Di Family down. Before I die, I would like to tell you the truth. I silently agreed to the deaths of your brothers and paved the way for my son Wu Junjian. Your family controlled too much power, so my son was worried that he would not possess the ability to control the nation. I…"
"Wu Bahu, do you think that you can say whatever you want just because you're doing to die?" Before Ge Yi could complete his sentence, Di Jiu lifted his hand and slapped at him.
Ge Yi immediately sensed a violent force surging towards him. He did not even have the ability to resist before he was lifted by this force.
A flower stalk pierced his eye and pinned him to a gigantic dragon pillar in the palace hall.
"Silence! It's not your turn to speak yet, you piece of trash!" After saying this, he turned to Wu Bahu and said, "Wu Bahu, this means that my elder brothers all died because of you and your son."
Ever since the extermination of the Di Family, Di Jiu had started to suspect that there had been something strange about his elder brothers' deaths. Now, he had finally understood the truth. The Di Family had sacrificed so much for the Wu Family's throne, yet all his elder brothers except him, who had no martial roots, had been silently killed by Wu Bahu and his son. He should be thankful for his lack of martial roots and his purposeless way of living, which had allowed him to stay alive until now.
It seemed like Wu Bahu was crying crocodile tears. He had only said that he had let the Di Family down because he was about to die. Perhaps when the people from the Abstruse Fire Sect had come to dig out Di Di's eyes, Wu Bahu had looked forward to it. This was because this had been the only way to anger Di Jiu's father, Di Shan. There would be no need for Wu Bahu to do anything when Di Shan got angry, for the expert from the Abstruse Fire Sect would also kill his father.
Droplets of blood dripped from Ge Yi's eyes and landed on the ground with a splash.
Ge Yi widened his other eye and stared at Di Jiu in horror. His mind was so blank that he had even forgotten about his hurting, pinned eye.
He knew all too well how scary Di Jiu's slap was. Di Jiu was just sitting there as he flew because of the wind created from the slap and was pinned against the pillar. Even the Void Spirit Realm Experts of the Abstruse Fire Sect did not possess such strength.
How could this be possible?
"Di Jiu…" Wu Bahu looked at Di Jiu in astonishment. What kind of strength was this?
Was that Ge Yi? He had watched Ge Yi kill a Martial Grandmaster guard easily. How could such an expert not even survive the wind of Di Jiu's slap?
He had previously thought that Di Jiu would definitely die. Hence, he had wanted to tell Di Jiu everything before he did. He had never expected that Di Jiu would be so powerful.
Di Jiu stood up and walked over to Wu Bahu. "Your empire was conquered by the Di Family. Even if you had to surrender your throne to us, it would only be right and natural. You ungratefully plotted to exterminate my family. You are indeed ruthless."
"Father!" A young man in a golden robe walked over rapidly. He only called out when he saw Wu Bahu, who was sitting on the floor, and Ge Yi, who was pinned to the pillar.
"You must be Wu Junjian. Were you the one who encouraged Wu Bahu to plot against my family?" said Di Jiu in an unfriendly tone as he looked at the golden-robed young man.
"That's right. I'm Wu Junjian. Who are you?" Given Wu Junjian's temperament, he would have cut anyone with his sword for daring to speak to him in this manner if he had understood what was going on first. Although he had yet to ascend to the throne, he would do so in the near future. He controlled the majority of the Ji Nation's army, and the court itself was filled with his people.
Even his father dared not use such a tone with him. He did not understand who Di Jiu was and why he had the guts to do so.
When Di Jiu slapped out again, two flower stalks shot out.
Wu Junjian, who was similarly swept away by his wind slap, was pinned to a pillar opposite Ge Yi, near the two flower stalks.
Wu Bahu suddenly came to a realization. Di Jiu had come back after achieving cultivation. His strength was also extremely powerful, no weaker even than Sang Li's, who had come over the previous time.
The flower stalks within the flower vase were soft, yet they were being used by Di Jiu to pin and kill two people. The stalks were even embedded into the pillars of the hall. This kind of strength…
"Where is my friend Qu Xiaoshu as we speak? Why have I seen no member of the Qu Family?" Di Jiu's gaze landed on Wu Bahu.
"I didn't do anything to the Qu Family," said Wu Bahu blankly as he jolted out of his daze.
"Qu Xiaoshu tipped me off. You're saying that an ungrateful piece of trash like you would not do anything to Qu Xiaoshu?" Di Jiu mocked the man.
Wu Bahu shook his head in a daze. "I wasn't aware of that. Qu Xiaoshu didn't tell me that he tipped you off. After your family was exterminated, the entire Qu Family went missing. Following the death of Brother Di, his subordinate Tian Ku started an uprising with his troops and the entire Ji Nation was at war. The neighboring countries also started to attack the Ji Nation. As a result, I did not have the energy to investigate the Qu Family."
The image of an average-built, bearded man popped into Di Jiu's mind. The man was called Tian Ku. In the past, Uncle Tian had seldom come to visit, yet when he had, he had always brought Di Jiu the best weapon or some exotic gift. Tian Ku was a loyal servant of Di Jiu's. It would be strange indeed if Tian Ku had not resisted when his father had been killed.
"Where's Tian Ku now? What about the rest of your sons?" asked Di Jiu again.
It was evident that the reason Di Jiu was asking about his sons was because he wanted to exterminate the Wu Family. Wu Bahu suddenly laughed. "I knew it would be you, Brother Di. It was definitely you who sent your son over to take revenge on my family. I don't blame you, I deserve it. The Wu Family's time is up…"
After saying that he deserved this, Wu Bahu collapsed on the floor. Di Jiu's Spiritual Force landed on his body, only to discover that Wu Bahu was already dead.
Di Jiu's gaze shifted to Ge Yi. "Wu Bahu is dead. Now, it's your turn."
Ge Yi, who had not made a single sound, finally spoke. He anxiously called out, "Let's talk this through peacefully, Daoist Di! I'm a Grade-Four Alchemist Great-Master of the Abstruse Fire Sect. The Abstruse Fire Sect is a six-star sect…"
As Ge Yi spoke, blood kept dripping from his eyes.
"What's so impressive about a six-star sect? I have even killed True Form Realm Cultivators. Does a six-star sect have a lot of True Form Realm Cultivators?" said Di Jiu in disdain.
Six-star sects were considered apex existences in the Yalun Continent. However, they were nothing in the Small Central World.
Ge Yi was shocked by Di Jiu's words. Regardless of whether Di Jiu was speaking the truth or not, Di Jiu evidently thought nothing of the Abstruse Fire Sect.
"First, tell me where Wu Bahu's other sons are!" Di Jiu waved his hand in the air. Ge Yi, who was pinned to the pillar, landed on the floor.
"Wu Bahu's few sons all died in battle. Only Wu Junjian was left…" Ge Yi said hastily.
Di Jiu nodded his head. Karma existed indeed. His father and Wu Bahu had been very close, yet Wu Bahu had plotted against his son without hesitation. Wu Bahu had died in a manner he had not deserved. Di Jiu had gone too easy on him.
"Tell me. What did you mean by the last sentence you uttered as you were walking in?" Di Jiu stared down at Ge Yi, who was sitting on the floor.
When Ge Yi sensed Di Jiu's killing intent, he got anxious and said hurriedly, "On the surface, it seemed like Wu Bahu invited me here to treat his daughter. The truth was that Wu Bahu, a mere emperor of a colony, couldn't possibly have invited me over. The true reason I was here was because the Abstruse Fire Sect had explored a mystic area and obtained a piece of information there. Once, an apex expert that came from the Di Family had left the family a Heaven-Tier cultivation technique. I came here to investigate the source of this information before inviting the Young Master over to search for that cultivation technique."
"What about the Sacred Spirit Eyes?" Di Jiu grunted coldly.
Ge Yi shuddered. "The Sacred Spirit Eyes are real. I, I…"
Ge Yi could not complete his sentence as he thought about his discovery. The Sacred Spirit Eyes had been discovered by him. Although he had sensed that Di Jiu was definitely not a malevolent person, Di Jiu's killing intent had almost manifested itself physically.
"Hold on! Your elder sister Di Di is still alive!" said Ge Yi anxiously. "Liang Lu's Sacred Spirit Eyes needed the nourishment of Di Di's fresh blood. That's why she's been kept alive until now. She's currently in the Abstruse Fire Sect…"
"Beast!" Di Jiu, who had gone pale with rage, threw out a flame with a wave of his hand.
Boom! The terrifying flame instantly erupted from the Grace Supreme Hall of the Ji Nation's Palace. Ge Yi and Wu Junjian, who were still barely alive, screamed in pain. Wu Junjian's concubines and palace maidens rushed out of the palace in a panic. Some forbidden guards came over in an attempt to extinguish the fire, but the flames, which seemed to possess a consciousness, engulfed them. The guards disappeared in an instant the moment they approached the flames.
Di Jiu did not kill all the palace maidens in the end. He just cast his Spiritual Force escape technique to the maximum and rushed towards the Abstruse Fire Sect.
