Ninth In the World

Chapter 814: I Heard You Have a River and Mountain Kettle

Zhong You looked at Di Jiu in surprise. At first, he had no impression of Di Jiu at all. Now he seemed to have recalled that Di Jiu was once chased down by Jiang Dai. He should have also stolen Jiang Dai’s Yin-Yang Taijitu and destroyed his Jiang Dai. At that time, he was still curious about who Di Jiu was.

However, he had never seen Jiang Dai after that or had any news on Di Jiu.

For Zhong You, he did not fear the eminent and unapproachable Di Xinren of the Ten Major Geniuses the most, but Jiang Dai who ranked sixth. Jiang Dai seemed to have ranked sixth, but Zhong You knew very well that Jiang Dai was not weaker than him and could bear more patiently than him.

Not only that, but Jiang Dai was also the only one who had a Connate treasure that was not weaker than his River and Mountain Kettle, the Yin-Yang Taijitu. Because he was afraid of Jiang Dai, he was more concerned about Jiang Dai.

Based on Di Jiu’s power, Jiang Dai would be considered lucky if he could escape from Di Jiu, let alone chasing down Di Jiu.

“I’m Zhong You. Greetings to Daoist Di.” Zhong You didn’t want to offend a person like Di Jiu, so he greeted him with cupped fists and didn’t want to show how much he wanted to curry favor with Di Jiu.

Once Fu Buwen started fighting with Di Jiu, he wouldn’t mind helping Fu Buwen when Di Jiu couldn’t crush Fu Buwen.

Di Jiu chuckled and kept setting up nomological array flags.

Zhong You was exactly who he had wanted to kill. After he had arrived in the Dao World, he had no news on Old Zhong. He suspected that Old Zhong had likely landed in Zhong You’s hands.

Back then, his cultivation level was too poor and he didn’t know where Zhong You was. Now that Zhong You had appeared before him, he naturally would not let him off easily.

If Zhong You didn’t have the River and Mountain Kettle, Di Jiu wouldn’t have bothered about setting up nomological array patterns. However, the River and Mountain Kettle was indeed terrifying as it was a top-notch world that wasn’t weaker than the Sacred Yin Pearl. At that time, he hadn’t killed Jiang Dai because Jiang Dai had the Five Continent Dao Pagoda.

Since Jiang Dai had escaped, Di Jiu would be too incompetent if Zhong You used the same technique to escape.

Upon seeing Di Jiu chuckle and did not say a word anymore, Zhong You frowned a little. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling. However, he very soon suppressed the impulse of wanting to leave. No matter how strong Di Jiu was, nobody could stop Zhong You from escaping if he wanted to.

“Ru’er, who is he?” Lan Yunshan looked at Di Jiu in shock. Even though Di Jiu and Fu Buwen had only made one move, how could he not have seen that Di Jiu had suppressed Fu Buwen?

His daughter had actually known such an expert?

“His name is Di Jiu...” Lan Ru mumbled. She had brought Di Jiu to the Cultivation World, so how could she not know him? However, how could he be so powerful?

“I know his name is Di Jiu.” Lan Yunshan frowned. He had wanted to ask where Di Jiu was from and who he was.

Quivering, Lan Ru turned her head to Lan Yunshan and said, “Father, he was the one I pleaded you to save at that time. Now, I understand...”

“Ah...” Lan Yunshan was stunned and looked at Di Jiu, baffled. Would he need to rescue Di Jiu with that strength of his? Of course, he didn’t do so back then because he would not offend such a person like Jiang Dai for a mere nobody.

Something was not right...

Lan Yunshan finally recalled and asked, “He’s Di Jiu who destroyed Jiang Dai’s Dai He Hall? Afterward, he...”

Upon thinking how terrifying Di Jiu was, Lan Yunshan forcibly did not finish his sentence.

Lan Ru did not answer Lan Yunshan and she understood. It turned out that the cultivator who had destroyed Jiang Dai’s Dai He Hall was Di Jiu whom she knew. At the same time, she understood why when Jiang Dai saw Di Jiu, he had released her and Zhen Man. It was because Di Jiu had destroyed his Dai He Hall and snatched away his Yin-Yang Taijitu.

She understood that Di Jiu stood here not because he had escaped from Jiang Dai or that he was not afraid of Jiang Dai. It was no wonder ever since that day, she had never heard of Jiang Dai’s news in the Dao World.

Zhong You, Lan Yunshan, and Lan Ru remembered Di Jiu. At this moment, the other cultivators in the guest hall all knew who Di Jiu was. He was the one who had destroyed the Dai He Hall and was living comfortably now. It was no wonder that Fu Buwen did not immediately make a move on him.

Many cultivators in the hall began to discuss in a whisper and the First Evolution Dao Sect’s Sect Master was excited. He knew that Di Jiu used to be an outer sect disciple of his sect.

However, even if he had huge guts, he did not dare to talk to Di Jiu.

Since Di Jiu did not speak, Fu Buwen frantically recuperated. Zhong You was afraid of Di Jiu while the other people did not dare say a word. As a result, the atmosphere in the hall momentarily turned strange.

At this moment, Di Jiu had set up a major array that locked this space. He looked at Zhong You and said, “I heard you have a River and Mountain Kettle.”

Upon hearing Di Jiu mentioned about the River and Mountain Kettle, Zhong You froze and his domain aura instantly soared. The Dao Integration Dao runes rippled on his fluctuation. A few Primordial Chaos cultivators closer to him had been assailed by those terrifying Dao runes. Thus, they turned pale and retreated out of the place.

Zhong You and everyone else in the hall were secretly prepared and their Spiritual Forces connected to their Dharma treasures.

The River and Mountain Kettle was a priceless treasure from the Black Frost Palace. When the Sacred Yin Pearl had appeared in the Dao World back then, many experts had fought over the Sacred Yin Pearl. It was at that time that the Black Frost Palace’s River and Mountain Kettle disappeared. Now that Zhong You appeared in the Dao World and reached the Dao Integration Realm, even though he did not take out the River and Mountain Kettle, many people had guessed that the Black Frost Palace should have found the River and Mountain Kettle again.

Zhong You absolutely would not get angry at the fact that Di Jiu had inquired about the Black Frost Palace’s priceless treasure. The last battle was inevitable. Therefore, everyone now naturally defended themselves. With such an expert in a battle, they would vanish in a puff of smoke if they were not careful.

If they could go out, they would have rushed out of the guest hall right now.

On the contrary, Fu Buwen was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected that when he was making a move, Di Jiu had provoked Zhong You. Without hesitation, he took a few steps back and stood with Zhong You before he told Zhong You to work together with him.

Zhong You nodded his head. He looked at Di Jiu and said slowly, “I heard that Daoist Di took away Jiang Dai’s Yin-Yang Taijitu. Are you still interested in the Black Frost Palace’s River and Mountain Kettle?”

Di Jiu chuckled. “That’s right. I’m really interested in the River and Mountain Kettle. I’ve been inside the River and Mountain Kettle and got to know a friend called Zhong Ao. I heard he was locked in the River and Mountain Kettle with your lowly means. Today, I want to ask where my friend Zhong Ao is.”

“It turns out to be you...” Zhong You suddenly understood that Di Jiu was the one who had taken away the Sacred Yin Pearl. While he had been seriously injured and immersed into a befuddled recuperation, Di Jiu had seized the chance to take away the Sacred Yin Pearl.

No matter how shrewd Zhong You was, he could not hold back anymore. He drew out a brownish-yellow gourd and the entire hall was crushed by an extreme vastness in the next moment. Any cultivator in this hall sensed that as long as they moved, they would be turned into nothingness by this magnificent crushing that was like the vast universe.

Everyone was secretly shocked that they were only affected. They could imagine how terrifying the pressure was that Di Jiu, who was in the middle, was facing.

Di Jiu had indeed faced the vast suppression from River and Mountain Kettle and sensed the universe turning into a black hole that blasted towards him. As it approached him, that pressure would soar. If he had dared to stand still, he would have been crushed into scraps by the River and Mountain Kettle.

As someone who had to retaliate, Di Jiu did not hesitate to take out the Void Mountain and threw it out. At the same time, his Heavenly Aqua Saber easily tore Zhong You’s domain and locked every life-force and outlet of his.

“The Void Mountain...” Zhong You shouted in shock. He then found out that he had been locked by Di Jiu’s saber intent and actually could not break free from that.

Before the two of them made a move, Zhong You was clear that compared to Di Jiu, he was far inferior. At this moment, he no longer dared to want the Sacred Yin Pearl from Di Jiu. He had to leave as soon as possible and break free from being locked by Di Jiu’s saber aura before he used the River and Mountain Kettle to escape.

Otherwise, he will never have a chance to escape.
