Chapter 441: The Peace Hotel

Di Jiu was currently busy setting up numerous Confinement Killing Arrays at the Great Fortune Inn.

Zhong Ao was indeed powerful, but their opponent had strength in numbers. Too many people were coveting the Starry Sky Tea. Even Ye Xi seemed to have set his sights on him.

“You might as well not set any arrays up if you are creating a level-seven Confinement Killing Immortal Array,” commented Zhong Ao quietly when he saw the Confinement Killing Immortal Arrays Di Jiu was setting p.

Di Jiu had originally intended to set up a level-seven Confinement Killing Immortal Array outside the inn before setting up a level-eight confinement array inside. Although he was not incapable of setting up a level-nine confinement array, the time needed to set such an array up would be too long and he was certain that his opponents would not give him so much time to prepare.

Zhong Ao’s words prompted him to suddenly remember that Zhong Ao was good at what he was not. Moreover, Zhong Ao seemed to be able to set up arrays of a higher level than a level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Array. Why had he not thought of it earlier? He basically had free labor with him, yet he had chosen to tire himself out.

Di Jiu threw a ring at Zhong Ao. “Old Zhong, I will set up a level-seven Confinement Killing Immortal Array outside. Help me set up a higher-level Confinement Killing Immortal Array inside to the best of your abilities. If that is not possible, you can set up a level-eight Immortal Array.”

Zhong Ao was not concerned, as setting up a level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Array was a piece of cake for him, even if the materials used were extremely poor in terms of quality.

…

At the moment, 10 Immortal Emperors were seated in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City’s City Lord Manor. Among them were the three Major Immortal Emperors of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent: Palatial Lord Xie Wanling of the Starry Demon Palace, Sect Master Xiling Yuanyi of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, and Dao Master Yue Wuliang of the Heavenly Cloud Dao. Immortal Emperor Fang Feilou, the Guild Master of the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent’s Vitrail Chamber of Commerce, Bai Ye, the Guild Master of the New Moon Commercial Building, and Itinerant Cultivator Peng He were also present. They were all fifth-stage Immortal Emperors.

Third-stage Immortal Emperor Fu Jue, the Guild Master of the Tripod-Existing Elixir Dispensary, fifth-stage Immortal Emperor Meng Qianqian, the Guild Master of the Eternal Moon Building, fourth-stage Immortal Emperor Chen Zishun, the Deputy Guild Master of the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association, and first-stage Immortal Emperor Mi Ji, the City Lord of the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, were present as well. Out of them all, Mi Ji possessed the weakest cultivation.

Cheng Xingren, the Guild Master of the Star Elixir Dispensary, Sect Master Huang Yetian of the Thousand Maples Immortal Sect, Deputy City Lord Jie Guangmao, and Hall Master Dui Pingchuan of the Law Enforcement Hall were all Immortal Supremacy experts. Therefore, they could only stand aside.

It was evident how many experts wanted a piece of Di Jiu for themselves.

Even Fang Feilou, who had experienced Di Jiu’s formability before, started wondering if he should join them in their mission to kill Di Jiu.

If Yan Hui left, taking into consideration the strength of the several Immortal Emperor experts coming in later, the strength of the two sides would most likely be equal. Of course, this was just a possibility.

“Everyone, I just heard that Yan Hui left the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City not too long ago. It seems that our guess was right. Di Jiu did not leave with her. I believe that we can head over now,” announced Mi Ji as he stood up and cupped his fists before the gathered crowd.

He was indeed the City Lord but he had the weakest cultivation out of all the Immortal Emperors present. If he’d had a choice, he would not have spoken up here. Unfortunately, Di Jiu had forcibly torn the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array apart.

As the City Lord of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, he would have to step down if he did not speak up after what Di Jiu had done. No matter how peace-loving one was, they could not lack claws.

Xie Wanling commented coolly, “Before we do anything, I hope that we can talk first, lest this becomes a mess later.”

Xiling Yuanyi snorted. “He killed my son, Xiling Zai. I have to kill him. As for the items he stole from my son, I will definitely get them back.”

Yue Wuliang chuckled. “Brother Yuanyi, you can naturally do the honors and kill Di Jiu. However, he seized my Time Crystal and swindled large amounts of Liberal Points when he was in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. I will not let this pass so easily.”

“I only want the Agama True Glazed Water,” said Peng He simply.

“Allow me to say something, everyone,” said Bai Ye, the Guild Master of the New Moon Commercial Building, calmly. “Di Jiu has committed numerous monstrous crimes. He killed Sect Master Xiling’s first son and Elder Gou Yue of the New Moon Commercial Building. Perhaps, he possesses the refining technique of the Starry Sky Tea. Everyone will receive a share of the Starry Sky Tea. As for the rest of the items, they will be split equally among us if it is possible to do so. Otherwise, the person who obtained it all will have to compensate the others.”Read more chapter on NovelFull

Xie Wanling stood up. “Alright, it is settled.”

Everyone else stood up as well. Xiling Yuanyi looked at Elixir Association Deputy Guild Master Chen Zishun, who remained seated, and demanded, “What do you mean by this, Deputy Head Chen?”

Chen Zishun replied calmly, “Di Jiu is a member of my Elixir Association. I currently do not know why he would kill the Young Master and Gou Yue. Therefore, I hope that he will have a chance to explain himself before he is killed.”

“Does that mean that you do not intend to come with us?” pressed Xiling Yuanyi, his tone turning increasingly cold.

Chen Zishun said coolly, “The Elixir Association does not protect any of its members, but it will not attack its members if the truth of the matter is still unknown. The Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association might be only a branch of the Four Major Immortal Continents’ Elixir Association, but we fear no one.”

Chen Zishun was very aware of what these people were implying. Di Jiu had to possess a huge secret if he was able to refine something like the Starry Sky Tea. Furthermore, he had attained the Immortal King Realm in a very short time. They were only going to seize Di Jiu’s possessions. Unfortunately, while the Elixir Association was unwilling to participate in this, the association did not possess the capability to do Di Jiu justice. The best the Elixir Association could do was not participate in attacking Di Jiu with the rest.

“Alright, let’s go,” grunted Xiling Yuanyi. He decided to attack the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association after killing Di Jiu.

Fang Feilou, who had hesitated for one hour, finally made a decision. He cupped his fists and said, “I should join you guys. Unfortunately, the Vitrail Chamber of Commerce owes Di Jiu. Therefore, I will not be going this time.”

He saw the situation very clearly. There was indeed strength in numbers here, but they were not united. Furthermore, Chen Zishun had left before they had started heading over. Besides, Peng He only wanted the Agama True Glazed Water, while Fu Jue and Meng Qianqian had come here only for the Starry Sky Tea.

This would be nothing if Di Jiu was an ordinary weakling. However, was that the case here? Di Jiu had already gained some understanding of the spatial laws, and the man called Old Zhong was not an easy target.

In other words, this would only lead to an internecine outcome with a high fatality rate. Considering the escape technique Di Jiu possessed, there was more than a 90 percent possibility that Di Jiu would successfully escape.

Not killing Di Jiu and letting him escape was an outcome that Fang Feilou could only laugh in response to, especially given his understanding of Di Jiu.

“No wonder your business is growing. Let’s go,” said Bai Ye mockingly before leaving.

…

After everyone had left, Chen Zishun approached Fang Feilou, cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, Guild Master Fang.”

He appreciated the fact that Fang Feilou had given up on this opportunity that would definitely eliminate Di Jiu, even though everyone else was going to attack Elixir Association Alchemy Master Di Jiu together.

Fang Feilou hastily cupped his fists and responded, “You’re being too courteous, Guild Master Chen. Unfortunately, the Guild Master of the Elixir Association is not here. Otherwise, no one would dare to do such a thing.”

There was nothing bad about becoming acquaintances with the Deputy Guild Master of the Elixir Association, regardless of whether Di Jiu was killed or not.

“If you don’t mind, we could head over to the Elixir Association for a chat,” suggested Chen Zishun.

This invitation fit Fang Feilou’s plans nicely. After all, he had intended to strengthen his relationship with Di Jiu through his association with the Elixir Association.

…

“Deputy City Lord Jie, your inn seems to have changed name,” commented Bai Ye with a chuckle as he stood outside where the Great Fortune Inn had originally been.

Everyone who went there saw that Di Jiu had destroyed the words “Great Fortune Inn”. Now, floating above the Defense Array were two distinct words constructed from Dao runes: Peace Hotel.

There was something called the Peace Hotel in Di Jiu’s memories. Anyone who had nowhere to go could head to the Peace Hotel. Reaching the Peace Hotel symbolized that there was nothing more to do in the cultivation word. No one could enter the hotel to capture anyone or engage in a battle.

Di Jiu remembered incurring the wrath of the experts of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City after coming to the city for the very first time. Back then, he’d had nowhere to go.

If a Peace Hotel had existed then, even if he hadn’t been able to escape, he could have stayed in the hotel forever by relying on the several billions of Liberal Points he possessed.

Unfortunately, this hotel did not exist in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Since that was the case, he would open one himself. At least, in the future, cultivators like him, who came to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, would have a place to go.

Jie Guangmao was calm. After all, the hotel would belong to him once again, no matter what it was called.

“My guess was indeed correct. He should still be a level-seven Array King,” lamented Mi Ji.

Everyone had expected that Di Jiu could tear the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array apart with a slash of his saber. Firstly, the Defense Array had not been fully activated. Secondly, Di Jiu was an Immortal Array King.

Yue Wuliang grunted. “He is most likely not a level-seven Array King. He has to be at least a level-eight Array Supremacy if he was able to set up a level-seven Immortal Defense Array in such a short time. Perhaps, one of his people is a level-eight Immortal Array Supremacy. If my guess is correct, there should be a higher-level Confinement Killing Immortal Array behind this level-seven Defense Array.”

Crack! Just as Xiling Yuanyi was about to attack, the Defense Array suddenly opened and a broad passageway leading to the main building of the Peace Hotel appeared. Everyone could see that on the first story of the hall sat Di Jiu, who was waiting for them while drinking tea.
