Did he just agree to it? The Immortal Lord was shocked. He had wanted to bring Di Jiu out of the Outer Tripod Void City because he had seen him enter.
Most cultivators would feel the pain of having to pay a few thousand immortal crystals for the entrance fee. However, he didn’t sense Di Jiu’s heartache. Thus, he guessed that Di Jiu had to be rich.
He had wanted to earn the one-million-immortal-crystal consultation fee from Di Jiu when he had approached him in the name of purchasing Little Tree. This was Di Jiu’s first trip to the Outer Tripod Void City. Therefore, it would be easy to trick him since he didn’t know the rules there. He wouldn’t be the first person, or the last, to resort to such tricks. However, he wanted even more things from Di Jiu after he asked about the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City.
He knew that he would only be able to earn a million immortal crystals when Di Jiu said that he needed time to consider the deal. Thus, he had tried to take them by force. He hadn’t expected that the tide would turn and Di Jiu would agree to go on the immortal ship with him just when he had been about to give up on the idea.
“You are indeed a smart person, Daoist. My name is Rong Hui. How may I address you?” said Rong Hui immediately as he gave Di Jiu a thumbs-up.
“Please lead the way. I am eager to go,” said Di Jiu impatiently as he waved his hand.
“Okay.” Rong Hui walked off immediately. Di Jiu followed him without hesitation.
Many people in the hall shook their heads as they watched Di Jiu leave with Rong Hui, a female cultivator who was not yet a Perfected Immortal, and a mere level-nine demon beast. They thought that Di Jiu was an ignorant brat who had come to the Outer Tripod Void City without knowing anything.
“Wait…” said a fair-skinned, clean-shaven cultivator who blocked Di Jiu’s way just when he reached the door. He shoved a ring towards Di Jiu as he asked, “I’d like to buy this demon tree from you, Daoist. What do you think of this price?”
He looked like a Great Unity Immortal. Although Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was only a level-three Immortal Force, it had been tempered with the Forging Spiritual Art countless times. It had also been tempered with the Roast Divine Herb before. Thus, an ordinary level-four Immortal Force might not be as condensed as his Spiritual Force.
Di Jiu was sure that the Great Unity Immortal had to be an Immortal King the minute his Spiritual Force landed on him.
He had fought with Immortal Kings before and had killed more than one. Although he couldn’t tell their actual strength, the aura of an Immortal King, no matter how well-hidden, couldn’t escape from his Spiritual Force. This was because he could sniff out the faintly discernible Dao rune aura of an Immortal King.
Di Jiu’s heart grew cold. He wouldn’t have paid any attention if he had been an ordinary cultivator. However, he didn’t dare to be casual about it now that an Immortal King wanted to buy Little Tree.
Di Jiu was wary. However, he sounded as if nothing was wrong as he said, “Your cultivation level is not much weaker than mine, Daoist. This demon tree is of little help to me. He will not be able to help you much either even if you do buy him.”
“I like this demon tree,” said the Immortal King coldly. “I have a spirit herb garden that he can help me look after, even though his cultivation might be a tad weak.”
Di Jiu moaned a little as he said, “Why don’t we talk about this again after I take a look at the immortal ship? I’ll be back in a jiffy. Although my beast companion may be low-level, I have spent a lot of effort looking after him. I will not sell him for the price of an ordinary level-nine beast companion.”
“Okay. Please go ahead, Daoist. I live in the Mirage Immortal Building. Just ask for Pang Qian when you are there,” said the Immortal King as he waved his hand. He didn’t sound like he was worried that Di Jiu would not return.
He guessed that Di Jiu should be in the Great Unity Immortal Realm. A puny Immortal Lord had actually dared to trick a Great Unity Immortal out of the Outer Tripod Void City. He must have had a death wish. Many people had heard the conversation between Di Jiu and Rong Hui just now.
The Immortal King waved his hand subconsciously as a barely noticeable aura adhered on Di Jiu. Di Jiu was secretly angry. He didn’t understand what was so attractive about an ordinary demon tree. The Immortal King had actually left a Spiritual Force imprint on him! It was obvious that Pang Qian would give chase if Di Jiu went beyond a certain boundary and didn’t return to the Outer Tripod Void City.
He wouldn’t have been able to detect the Spiritual Force imprint if his Spiritual Force condensation had not reached a certain level.
Di Jiu didn’t follow the Immortal King who left the trading hall. Instead, he handed a ring over to the Great Unity Immortal that he had previously sent a voice transmission to as he passed by him.
That Great Unity Immortal hadn’t expected that Di Jiu would give him a ring all of a sudden. He accepted the ring as his Spiritual Force permeated it with ease. There were exactly a million high-grade immortal crystals in it.
The Great Unity Immortal immediately understood what Di Jiu wanted. He handed a jade slip over to Di Jiu without hesitation.
Di Jiu didn’t even take a look at the jade slip as he immediately put it away into his ring. Then, he followed Rong Hui out of the trading hall.
Incidents such as tricking Di Jiu out of the Outer Tripod Void City happened frequently there. Nobody paid attention to Di Jiu’s departure.
…
Rong Hui flashed a low-grade flying immortal weapon as soon as he got out of the Outer Tripod Void City. “Will you be taking my flying Dharma treasure, or will you follow me?” asked Rong Hui as he turned toward Di Jiu.
Di Jiu didn’t answer. Instead, he brought Mo Yuxuan and Little Tree directly onto Rong Hui’s flying boat. “We’ll take your flying boat, of course. Isn’t it faster this way?”
“Right! Right…” repeated Rong Hui before he took control of the flying boat and dashed into the void.
He began to worry. If Di Jiu hadn’t known anything, he wouldn’t have been able to make it to the Outer Tripod Void City unscathed.
However, if Di Jiu was in the know, why would he get onto his flying boat? It didn’t take him long to realize the answer. The female cultivator with Di Jiu was not a Perfected Immortal yet. His beast companion was also only a level-nine demon beast which had not become an immortal demon yet. It would be strange if Di Jiu himself was any stronger.
Di Jiu, on the other hand, didn’t give Rong Hui any time to think this through. He flashed his Heavenly Aqua Saber as it whirled up a saber flare and slashed toward Rong Hui.
“How dare you…” Rong Hui flew into a rage when he saw that Di Jiu had initiated an attack before he made a move. He had indeed been pondering why Di Jiu had dared to come onto his flying boat. However, he had been thinking more about whether he should kill Di Jiu by himself or gather his partners so they could do it together.
According to his theory, Di Jiu was at most a Golden Immortal. Thus, he should be able to kill Di Jiu easily.
He hadn’t been wrong about Di Jiu’s cultivation. However, Di Jiu was not an ordinary Golden Immortal. Di Jiu was no ordinary Golden Immortal because he had killed an Immortal King before.
Rong Hui felt that something was amiss as the Heavenly Aqua Saber slashed down. The space he was in was locked up by the Heavenly Aqua Saber. The confinement array on his flying boat couldn’t be activated either.
Rong Hui twisted and turned his body like crazy in a bid to escape from Di Jiu’s saber strike.
He was a second-stage Immortal Lord. However, it felt as if he had gotten trapped in a huge mud pit while he was being subjected to Di Jiu’s saber strike domain.
Even so, he still managed to escape the fate of having his skull split open by Di Jiu’s saber.
A bloody trail exploded as an arm and a large piece of armpit skin were ripped off from Rong Hui by Di Jiu’s saber swing.
“Stop!” Rong Hui was terribly frightened. He knew that he had met a vicious man. “You will definitely die when you enter the Outer Tripod Void City if you kill me now…” he added.
Di Jiu believed that what Rong Hui had said was true. Although he wasn’t afraid of Rong Hui, he was afraid of the Immortal King. The Immortal King must have guessed that he wanted to kill Rong Hui. He was only waiting for Di Jiu to return to bargain with him over Little Tree.
Therefore, he definitely wouldn’t return to the Outer Tripod Void City. Thanks to the raging saber intent killing aura, the Heavenly Aqua Saber summoned a circular saber screen which swept outward and cut Rong Hui into two. Rong Hui’s Principal Spirit hadn’t even leaked out before it got strangled by Di Jiu’s saber intent.
Di Jiu picked up Rong Hui’s ring. Then, he quickly pulled out a ray of dull shadow from his body as he flung out over 10 array flags. These array flags then nailed the shadow onto the flying boat. “Junior Sister Mo, please go into the Quintessential World with Little Tree quickly. I have to flee,” said Di Jiu in a low voice.
Although the opponent was an Immortal King, he had overestimated himself if he thought he could leave a Spiritual Force imprint on Di Jiu.
“Big Brother, I thought you wanted to forsake me,” said Little Tree timidly. He had been nervous all this while. He actually regretted going to the Outer Tripod Void City with Di Jiu, as he had nearly gotten sold off after merely taking a casual trip.
Mo Yuxuan merely agreed. She didn’t ask for an explanation.
With a twist of his hand, Di Jiu sent Mo Yuxuan and Little Tree into the Quintessential World before he disappeared into the void himself by using the Spiritual Force escape technique. The flying boat he was on continued to fly in its original direction.
…
Pang Qian, who was in the Mirage Immortal Building, wasn’t worried that Di Jiu would not return. Di Jiu was merely a Great Unity Immortal. Pang Qian could track his own Spiritual Force imprint very clearly. Thus, if Di Jiu didn’t return after a long time, he would surely chase and kill Di Jiu without hesitation.
He was only thinking about the demon tree who was with Di Jiu. Although it was obviously very ordinary, it had a strange feel to it. It felt like it had a fake aura about it that could tear the Void Plane apart.
Pang Qian knew that this was impossible. Even a perfected Immortal Emperor wouldn’t be able to tear the Void Plane apart. Therefore, it had to be a fake aura.
Pang Qian couldn’t figure out why a low-level demon tree would possess such an aura. He could only take Di Jiu and Little Tree somewhere where there was nobody else and ask them in detail.
“Eh… Something is not right.” Pang Qian hadn’t figured anything out after pondering for half a day. However, he sensed that the direction in which his Spiritual Force imprint was moving was not quite right.
In his opinion, Di Jiu wasn’t a tolerant person. He would definitely return once he killed the puny Immortal Lord upon leaving the Outer Tripod Void City.
However, his Spiritual Force was going further and further away now. It showed no signs of returning.
Pang Qian was too lazy to think any further. With a stretch of his body, he immediately disappeared from the room as he dashed out of the Outer Tripod Void City.
