The red-haired cultivator landed in front of Zhuo Wenshu and Xian Ze, but didn’t attack. Instead, he sized up Xian Ze with his eyes.

“I am not afraid of him, even if I have to lose my life trying!” said Zhuo Wenshu as she took out her Dharma treasure.

Xian Ze’s cultivation level was low, but his judgment was good. If the other party was at about the sixth-stage Domain Realm, Zhuo Wenshu might stand a chance of winning. However, the other party was a ninth-stage Domain Realm expert. His cultivation and aura were obviously much stronger than Zhuo Wenshu’s. If they fought and Zhuo Wenshu didn’t escape, she would surely die.

Suddenly, Xian Ze thought of Di Jiu. He cupped his fists and said, “Although your cultivation level may be higher than ours, you cannot kill us, Daoist.”

“Ha ha!” The red-haired cultivator laughed. “You are only a True Form weakling! I really don’t care if I kill you or not…”

It wouldn’t be difficult for the red-haired cultivator to kill Xian Ze.

Xian Ze didn’t take the other party’s attitude to heart. Instead, he said, “Daoist, you must have heard of the Starry Sky Immortal City. Its City Lord, Di Jiu, is my friend. I was just planning to go to the Starry Sky Immortal City. If you kill me, I will certainly leave a message for City Lord Di before I die. I don’t think it would pose any difficulty for City Lord Di to kill you to avenge my death, given his abilities.”

“Senior Xian, is Senior Brother Di the City Lord of the Starry Sky Immortal City?” asked Zhuo Wenshu in surprise before the red-haired cultivator could speak.

She had heard of the Starry Sky Immortal City before too. However, she hadn’t been to the Starry Sky Immortal City yet because she didn’t have any immortal crystals or Spirit Stones.

“That’s right. The City Lord of the Starry Sky Immortal City is Di Jiu,” replied Xian Ze in confirmation.

“Are you saying that City Lord Di Jiu is your friend?” The red-haired cultivator also looked at Xian Ze in shock.

“That’s right! Di Jiu is my friend. I might as well die during Thunder Tribulation if I’m lying to you.” Xian Ze had meant that his friend was called Di Jiu. He wasn’t saying that City Lord Di Jiu was his friend. This was because he wasn’t sure if the City Lord of the Starry Sky Immortal City was the Di Jiu he knew.

The red-haired cultivator frowned. He had planned on going to the Starry Sky Immortal City. He also knew much more about the Starry Sky Immortal City than Xian Ze did.

He knew very well that it didn’t just take immortal crystals and Spirit Stones to enter the Starry Sky Immortal City. Instead, one had to have a low number of killings under one’s belt. If an auxiliary city had not existed in the Starry Sky Immortal City, killing the two of them wouldn’t have made much difference, since he already stood no chance of entering the Starry Sky Immortal City. However, he had also heard that the auxiliary city didn’t bar cultivators who liked to kill, as long as they had sufficient contribution points.

If these two people before him were really City Lord Di Jiu’s friends, then he wouldn’t be able to enter the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City if he really killed them. It wouldn’t matter how many contribution points he had.

He definitely had to go to the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City, as it was a place where one could feel the Perfected Immortal Thunder Tribulation in the Immortal World.

“I believe you. However, both of you have to promise me that you will not pursue this matter. Don’t let City Lord Di know that I tried to chase and kill you.” The red-haired cultivator curbed his intention to kill Zhuo Wenshu and Xian Ze after weighing the odds.

There wasn’t any great enmity between him and Zhuo Wenshu and Xian Ze. If he launched an attack, he couldn’t be sure that he would succeed in killing them and not let the matter leak. On the same note, even if he could keep the matter under wraps, he couldn’t guarantee that he could kill the woman. That woman knew many techniques, which was why he hadn’t been able to kill her yet, despite chasing her for so long.

Xian Ze was elated. “I promise not to breathe a word to Brother Di Jiu about this, as long as you don’t attack us.”

“Good!” the red-haired cultivator replied succinctly before he left quickly with a turn of his body. What was left behind was merely the Spiritual Force imprint under his feet.

“Senior Xian, has Di Jiu really become the City Lord of the Starry Sky Immortal City?” asked Zhuo Wenshu impatiently once the red-haired cultivator left.

Xian Ze nodded. “I am sure now that the City Lord of the Starry Sky Immortal City is indeed Brother Di Jiu. Let’s go over there now!”

Before this incident, Xian Ze hadn’t known the full name of City Lord Di. However, the red-haired cultivator had obviously just mentioned that the City Lord of the Starry Sky Immortal City was called Di Jiu. Thus, he was almost sure that the City Lord of the Starry Sky Immortal City was the Di Jiu that he knew.

“Okay! Let’s go now!” said Zhuo Wenshu in pleasant surprise.

She had only seen bloody gore everywhere ever since she had come to the Immortal World, which she had looked forward to visiting in the past. This world was withering, faltering and hopeless. She had been hiding and fleeing throughout all these years.

She had also heard of the Starry Sky Immortal City before. However, she hadn’t dared to go because she didn’t have any immortal crystals or enough Spirit Stones.

Now that she had discovered that the City Lord of the Starry Sky Immortal City was Di Jiu, she would definitely go.

After Zhuo Wenshu and Xian Ze left, the red-haired cultivator landed once again on the spot where they had been standing just now and picked up a small portion of the Spiritual Force imprint. When he understood the contents recorded in the Spiritual Force imprint, he turned and left, heading in a different direction with a sigh.

He definitely had to go to the Starry Sky Immortal City. However, he had to wait until this matter was over. Besides, he no longer dared to try and kill Xian Ze and Zhuo Wenshu, no matter how brave he was.

He had heard that a Golden Immortal City Lord had once led a few hundred cultivators to attack the Starry Sky Immortal City. In the end, they hadn’t even seen the City Lord before they had been reduced to ashes. He was merely a ninth-stage Domain Realm cultivator, so he would be worse than a nobody in the face of City Lord Di.

According to Yan Xiaosha’s description, there would be a wind-tunnel outside the Sky Screen Pit. One could always hear the sobbing sounds of strong winds coming from it, as well as all kinds of unknown crushed sand and gravel within. One had to go through the wind-tunnel to get into the Sky Screen Pit.

When Di Jiu arrived with Mo Yuxuan, he found out that there was only a cave entrance with a circumference of a few dozen feet. Behind it was a continuous mountain range whose end his Spiritual Force could not find. Not even a gentle breeze was present, let alone any strong winds.

“Please follow me closely after we enter the Sky Screen Pit,” Di Jiu told Mo Yuxuan, who was standing behind him. Then, he went straight into the cave.

Di Jiu hadn’t wanted to bring Mo Yuxuan along, but he’d had no other choice. Mo Yuxuan shadowed him everywhere. If he had left Mo Yuxuan behind in the Starry Sky Immortal City, she would definitely have left the place on her own. This was akin to sending her to her death.

Di Jiu hadn’t thought of putting Mo Yuxuan away in his Quintessential World either. In order to go into the Quintessential World, she had to first agree. Then, she needed to open up her heart and relax her spirit. However, she was really muddled now. How would she know how to open up her heart and relax her spirit? Moreover, she wouldn’t be able to see him in the Quintessential World. He couldn’t predict what she would do under such circumstances.

Besides, Mo Yuxuan would have to leave sooner or later. She was a disciple of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect after all. Thus, he’d better not expose a treasure like his Quintessential World so easily.

Mo Yuxuan would have followed Di Jiu in even if he hadn’t asked her to. He had just stepped into the cave entrance, yet she had already followed suit.

Di Jiu scanned the place with his Spiritual Force and discovered that this cave was very shallow. It was only about 1,000 feet deep. Plus, his Spiritual Force hadn’t met any obstacles in the cave.

This disappointed Di Jiu. It seemed that after the sun had set in the Immortal World, the Sky Screen Pit had lost the law it had once possessed and become very ordinary. Thus, even if it had possessed the Heavenly Fire Spirit in the past, it would not have it now.

Even if this was the case, Di Jiu still went to the bottom of the Sky Screen Pit.

Although its depth was only about 1,000 feet, Di Jiu was sure that the distance he walked was more than that. When his Spiritual Force swept forward, there were another 1,000 feet.

Di Jiu stopped, as he felt that something was amiss. When he swept backward with his Spiritual Force, he found out that the road back was also 1,000 feet long.

He was lost! This had to be a maze array.

“Let me carry you,” Di Jiu told Mo Yuxuan. Fortunately, Mo Yuxuan had stayed close to him. Otherwise, they might have lost each other.

Mo Yuxuan naturally agreed. After Di Jiu lifted Mo Yuxuan on his back, he executed the Spiritual Force escape technique.

By the time the Spiritual Force escape technique had been executed multiple times, Di Jiu had even lost track of how far he had gone. When he scanned the cave with his Spiritual Force, he saw that there were still 1,000 feet ahead of him before he could reach the end.

Di Jiu’s expression grew grim. Walking forward clearly wouldn’t work. Then, he looked and knocked on the stone walls on both sides.

Crack! Suddenly, a passageway appeared before Di Jiu’s eyes, as if he had cracked a layer of foam.

Di Jiu only hesitated for a while before he entered the passageway. He knew he couldn’t continue walking indefinitely.

He scanned the area with his Spiritual Force once again upon entering the passageway. There were still 1,000 feet until the end.

Di Jiu finally understood. His Spiritual Force had been compressed to 1,000 feet in there. The end wasn’t actually in 1,000 feet.

Di Jiu had come to the Sky Screen Pit in search of the Heavenly Fire Spirit. Since his Spiritual Force could only extend over an area of 1,000 feet, he had no choice but to try his luck.

He put his Dao fire on his wrist and executed the escape technique again. He would choose a branched road to take every time half a day passed. He was totally lost in the Sky Screen Pit. Thus, all he could do was try his luck.

It was taboo to walk around blindly in the Sky Screen Pit. Di Jiu, who hadn’t known, had been walking around blindly. It was not clear how far he had gone, as he had been moving around while continuously executing the Spiritual Force escape technique.
