Chapter 561: Assassinating Di Jiu

A powerful aura was everywhere within the market. Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia did not dare extend their Spiritual Force out.

After they quickened their walking pace and exited the market, Zhuo Wujia’s Spiritual Force swept out without any hindrance. He released a long breath when he sensed the vast space. “This is the smell of freedom.”

Indeed, they had finally attained freedom. They could head wherever they wanted from here instead of being trapped at the Wormhole Defence District or at the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.

“Brother Di, where are we headed now?” Zhuo Wujia looked at Di Jiu. It was because he had been following Di Jiu that he had been able to arrive at the Dao World so quickly and gain freedom. This was only a market in the wilderness, but he could still sense the dense Heaven Earth Essence Energy that was suitable for his cultivation.

Although he was asking Di Jiu, he knew very well that Di Jiu would definitely bring him along and escape with him into the Endless Dike. Only then would they have a chance of survival.

Di Jiu threw the two cards into the Ninth World before saying, “Logically speaking, we should escape into the Endless Dike and hide in its deepest recesses. However, I’m certain that we would never be able to leave the Endless Dike in this lifetime if we truly did so, for I believe that they have millions of methods to capture us. The advantage we have now is that they have yet to react to the situation, thus giving me sufficient time to escape. Brother Zhuo, enter my Quintessential World first if you believe in me. I will take you away from here.”

A killing order issued at the Endless Dike’s market, an action possible if their opponent held sufficient power, would suffice to render them unable to escape anywhere. Should they escape into the deepest recesses, they would most likely become the demon beasts’ snack.

Di Jiu did not own any high-level flying divine weapons so he could only rely on his Spiritual Force escape technique. His Spiritual Force had surpassed the rank of an Immortal Force long ago. A true expert who had achieved a Dao Modeling might not possess a Spiritual Force more powerful than his.

“Okay.” Zhuo Wujia did not hesitate as he opened his Spiritual Force to let Di Jiu send him into the Quintessential World.

Di Jiu frantically executed the Spiritual Force escape technique the moment Zhuo Wujia entered the Quintessential World.

“Union Lord Mu?” The first person Zhuo Wujia saw when he entered the Quintessential World was Mu Jie. He could not help but exclaim in surprise, as he had assumed that Mu Jie was dead.

“Daoist Zhuo, you came in here as well?” Mu Jie was just as alarmed when she saw Zhuo Wujia. She had a bad premonition that Di Jiu might have been surrounded, which was why he had allowed Zhuo Wujia to enter the Quintessential World. However, Zhuo Wujia did not appear injured to her, which was puzzling.

Zhuo Wujia said excitedly, “Union Lord Mu, rumor had it that you were killed by Brother Di, but I refused to believe that was true. Brother Di is an honorable man who would not have taken any action against you.”

Mu Jie sighed and said, “That’s right. Brother Di is indeed the most honorable cultivator I have ever met in my life. I would have been dead long ago if it wasn’t for him…”

Mu Jie then remembered the way Zhuo Wujia had entered the Quintessential World and asked, “Daoist Zhou, where are you and Brother Di now? Why did you come in here?”

Zhuo Wujia hastily answered, “Brother Di helped me make the top 10 of the contribution point roll and then we entered the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. We did not expect that the divine city itself would be a trap as well; one cannot leave after entering it. Both of us were trapped within the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. To leave the city, one needs 100,000 high-grade divine crystals, which are the equivalent of hundreds of millions of contribution points…”

“Ah!” Mu Jie was stunned upon hearing that. How long did one have to stay in the Leaping Dao Door Divine City in order to accumulate more than 100,000,000 contribution points?

What could she do? Did this mean that she had to stay inside the Quintessential World forever?

Zhuo Wujia chuckled. “Unexpectedly, Brother Di took out a Dao meridian, so we were able to teleport away from the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.”

Mu Jie drew a cold gasp of air. It was considered a heaven-defying feat to be able to take out a Dao meridian when one was only at the Immortal Emperor Realm. Di Jiu was indeed a god-like person that could do what any other ordinary person was incapable of. This impression was further solidified by what she knew about Di Jiu’s past actions.

“Does that mean that we have already reached the Dao World?” asked Mu Jie in pleasant surprise when she regained her senses.

Zhuo Wujia nodded his head. “That’s right, we are indeed in the Dao World. However, someone wants to assassinate us, which is why he sent me into the Quintessential World. He should currently be executing some secret techniques to escape.”

“Is it Ni Xiren?” Mu Jie knew very well why Ni Xiren wanted to kill Di Jiu.

Zhuo Wujia nodded in agreement before adding, “There is one more hidden enemy other than Ni Xiren. It is the Murderous Dao Lake… Eh? Union Lord Mu, have you already achieved a Dao Modeling?”

As Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie were conversing, Di Jiu had already left the other region of the Endless Dike’s market. His speed was increasing rapidly.

This was caused by the combination of Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force and escape technique. Unless one was paying special attention, other people would only sense some spatial fluctuations even if they saw him. By then, he would have already disappeared from their sight.

At the Leaping Dao Door Divine City, Sha Wushang stared stormily at Captain Huang, who was bowing lowly at him, and Leaping Dao Door Divine City Lord Jiao Yueheng, who had just arrived here. Both Sha Huangtian and Ni Xiren had informed him that there was no way the cultivator called Zimo could escape and that there was no need to hurry to deal with this matter. Sha Wushang did not listen to either of them, instead choosing to come to the Leaping Dao Door Divine City as soon as possible. After all, he had experienced many unexpected happenings before that could be a result of any form of carelessness.

What Sha Wushang did not expect was that something would still happen even though he had hurried so much.

The fella called Zimo and Zhuo Wujia had both teleported away by relying on half a Dao meridian. This minuscule possibility had actually happened.

He really wanted to kill Captain Huang, but he knew that the latter was not in the wrong. By procuring the value of more than 200,000 high-grade divine crystals, Di Jiu had qualified to teleport away.

The Leaping Dao Door Divine City was mostly occupied by Immortal Emperors who were weaker than average, but the city itself was still collectively constructed by certain powers. There were still some stronger Primordial Dao cultivators who lived in the city as well. Therefore, he could make threats and flaunt his strength but he could not kill anyone without a reason or interfere with the law there. Killing Captain Huang would only offend other powers.

“Where did he teleport to?” Sha Wushang took a few moments to calm his murderous intent while trying his best to soften his tone before he inquired.

Captain Huang, who dared not lie, confessed. “They teleported to the Endless Dike and should still be there now.”

Jiao Yueheng, who had not spoken, hollered, “What are you waiting for? Quickly, activate the Teleportation Array and send Senior Sha to the Endless Dike!”

The truth was that Jiao Yueheng was afraid of neither the Guild Master of the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce nor Sha Huangtian. Sha Wushang was a different case, however, as he was an expert who had just attained the second step. He was someone whose wrath Jiao Yueheng could not afford to incur.

“Yes, City Lord. Please enter the Teleportation Array,” replied Captain Huang respectfully. He was filled with regret. If he had detained Di Jiu and company for even one more day, Sha Wushang would have captured them.

Half a Dao meridian was indeed important. However, it was more dangerous to offend a Primordial Dao expert.

Sha Wushang was so angry that his face had turned blue. Ni Xiren, the Guild Master of the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce who had come here as well, suddenly felt a cold chill.

He recalled how subservient Di Jiu had acted in front of him. He had been willing to even burn Mu Jie with a fireball to win his favor. At the moment, he was certain that Di Jiu had the means to detox the Ascension Dao Pill and had already accomplished that. This was because he could no longer sense the aura of the Ascension Dao Pill.

Although he was someone very good at enduring things silently, he had let Di Jiu go after offending him. He had a premonition that the fella called Zimo would definitely come back again in the future.

Wait, something was not right. Why would such a person attempt to save his son, Ni Luan? If that was not the motive, then it meant that Zimo had gone to save Ni Luan for only one reason: to kill him. Zimo had entered the Wormhole for other reasons, and not to save Ni Luan.

At this thought, Ni Xiren felt increasingly uneasy and anxious to immediately capture Di Jiu and slowly torture him. However, he knew very well that even if Di Jiu was captured now, he would not have the qualifications to do that. That honor would go to Sha Wushang.

Ni Xiren felt extremely regretful. He really should not have believed Zimo so easily.

“Senior Sha, Zimo carries the Wormhole’s contribution point card. We can trace the Dao patterns within to chase after them,” suggested Jiao Yueheng, the Leaping Dao Door Divine City Lord, without any prompting.

Sha Wushang waved his hand dismissively. “If such a person was to still carry the card on them, they would be in a hurry to leave.”

He did not need to check the card to know that Di Jiu would definitely discard it. He had a feeling that he was dealing with an extremely difficult opponent who possessed an acute sense of danger. Otherwise, the two of them would not have left almost at the same time that he’d arrived there.

“Guild Master Ni, I heard that you gave an Ascension Dao Pill to that fella…” Sha Huangtian suddenly looked at Ni Xiren.

Ni Xiren hastily replied, “I can no longer sense the aura of that Ascension Dao Pill. It must have been removed by him…”

“You also gave an Ascension Dao Pill to Zimo for his consumption, right? Did you check his ring?” Sha Wushang stared at the unmoving Ni Xiren, not even bothering to look at the Teleportation Array that was about to be activated.

Ni Xiren shuddered subconsciously as he sensed a terrifying killing intent.
