Chapter 469: Conspiracy or Beast Tide

When Di Jiu stepped into the Thunderous Floating Island, endless thunder streaks, thunder showers, and thunder balls rumbled on his body. Thanks to the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering cultivation technique, these thunder balls only left some scars on him at most. The Thunderous Floating Island, which had almost taken Di Jiu’s life in the past, was now of no threat to him.

In the blink of an eye, Di Jiu stepped into the spatial whirlpool in the middle of the Thunderous Floating Island and landed in a vast void.

When he turned around, there was no trace.

He could only enter the Thunderous Floating Island but not get out. This was good, as the Square Immortal Continent was simply too weak. If any experts wanted to come in, this immortal continent would become a place of slavery.

…

In barely half a day, Di Jiu stopped. He looked at the ruins in front of his eyes and sighed slightly.

This was the Outer Tripod Void City. When he and Mo Yuxuan had arrived here before, it had still been considered lively and a guild had existed. Decades had passed before he once again came here, so the place had been turned into ruins.

Who would do such a thing? An immortal city within the void was a good thing for all cultivators. However, someone had destroyed this Void Immortal City. Truthfully speaking, this just harmed others without benefiting the person behind it.

When Di Jiu stepped into these ruins, he could immediately sense a frantic battle aura. Even though some time had already passed, that battle aura had not disappeared.

Was this the Beast Tide attack?

Di Jiu, who was extremely sensitive about the Foundation Order between Heaven and Earth, very soon caught some traces of battle.

A flying boat rapidly approached his Spiritual Force. Di Jiu stopped investigating and looked at the flying boat approaching him at a great speed.

In barely 10 seconds, the flying boat landed on the ruins.

“Who are you?” A cultivator in a gray robe stepped down from the flying boat, immediately staring at Di Jiu as he asked him this question. His gaze landed upon the Heavenly Aqua Saber behind Di Jiu. He was sure that this was a supreme-grade immortal weapon.

When he sensed that the Heavenly Aqua Saber behind Di Jiu was a supreme-grade immortal weapon, the cultivator’s eyes became solemn. A cultivator carrying such an immortal weapon on his back was definitely not weak.

Di Jiu scanned the cultivator in the gray robe from head to toe. He was a fifth-stage Immortal King that carried a faint bloodlust aura with him. It was obvious that he had been in a huge battle not too long ago.

“I’m Di Jiu. Who are you? Why did you come to the Outer Tripod Void City in such a hurry?” Di Jiu replied softly.

The man clearly sensed that Di Jiu was far more powerful than him. The Immortal King immediately changed attitude and told Di Jiu with cupped fists, “I’m Mo Lengyuan, and I am from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Two-Trace Island.”

“Two-Trace Island?” Di Jiu repeated in shock before saying, “Is Insular Lord Yong well?”

“You know my Master, Senior?” Mo Lengyuan immediately understood after hearing that. Di Jiu was definitely friends with the same generation as his Master. In that case, his cultivation level would naturally be much more powerful.

Di Jiu nodded. “At the first trade meeting, Insular Lord Yong and I had a pleasant trade. Has he gone back?”

Mo Lengyuan hurriedly bowed once again. “Senior, my Master is trapped in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. He is on the verge of death. I was chosen to go out and ask for help.”

“You came here to ask for help? Your Master is trapped?” Di Jiu looked at Mo Lengyuan in confusion.

Yong Zuocheng’s cultivation level should be around the seventh-stage Immortal Emperor Realm. Who could trap such an expert? Unless large arrays had been used to trap him… Di Jiu did not believe that he had asked a random person to come here with a more formidable Array Dao than Di Jiu and Old Zhong.

His Array Dao was formidable because he had the Ninth Dao Law and Old Zhong. After all, he might not have existed in the Immortal World in the past.

If Yong Zuocheng was already trapped, how could his disciple have run away to ask for help?

Mo Lengyuan hurriedly said, “The Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Defense Arrays were suddenly ripped apart by the Void Beast Tide. Endless void demon beasts came pouring in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. As we speak, half of it is already under the demon beasts’ control.”

Di Jiu was startled. Void demon beasts had come pouring into an immortal continent? How come this sounded strange?

There were endless demon beasts in the void. If they could rip apart an immortal continent’s Defense Arrays so easily, then that immortal continent would probably have ceased to exist already.

“Where do you plan to go to ask for help?” Di Jiu asked again.

“I went to the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent because after the Beast Tide entered the Thunder Court Immortal Continent, the Teleportation Array was destroyed. I came out with a few cultivators to ask for help through other techniques.” Mo Lengyuan’s tone grew increasingly respectful.

“Then, you should be going to the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent, not to a place like this.”

Mo Lengyuan pointed deep into the ruins. “This place was destroyed by the Beast Tide. There used to be a Teleportation Array that could teleport one to an immortal city near the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent. I came here to see if this Teleportation Array could be restored. If it could, it would save me a great deal of time.”

Di Jiu scanned the place with his Spiritual Force and shook his head. “This Teleportation Array cannot be restored. I’m afraid your plan will fail. I still have something I want to ask you. Did any cultivators from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent go to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to ask for help?”

Mo Lengyuan answered, “Yes, they went to ask for help and some experts from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City went to the Thunder Court Immortal Continent.”

“Which experts from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City went to the Thunder Court Immortal Continent to help?” Di Jiu hurriedly asked.

Mo Lengyuan shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Di Jiu frowned and pondered this. The Beast Tide of the Thunder Court Immortal Continent sounded somewhat strange. However, which residents of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City would go to help the Thunder Court Immortal Continent?

Mi Ji did not have a high cultivation level, but he was extremely cautious and he was the Gigantic Tripod City Lord. He would definitely not go to the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. There were not many Immortal Emperors in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. He did not believe that Meng Qianqian would go to help. Then, the only person who had gone would be someone related to him. Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City Guild Master Qu Hen and Deputy Guild Master Chen Zishun.

As for Old Zhong, Di Jiu was sure he would not go…

“How many people from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City went?” Di Jiu asked once again.

“I heard that there were three experts.” Mo Lengyuan did not dare hesitate before answering. Someone who had made a trade with his Master would without a doubt be an Immortal Emperor.

Three? Did that mean that Old Zhong had also gone? Theoretically speaking, he would not go. Maybe Mi Ji or Meng Qianqian had gone instead?

Wait…

Di Jiu suddenly recalled the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith. If the Thunder Court Immortal Continent really took it out, then Old Zhong would probably be the first one to go.

Did this mean that the three people related to him had all gone to the Thunder Court Immortal Continent?

“I have some urgent matters to take care of. We’ll talk later,” Di Jiu said before he disappeared. He activated his Spiritual Force escape technique and immediately vanished.

“He’s so powerful…” Mo Lengyuan wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. He was sure that Di Jiu was a bit more formidable than his Master. He could probably be compared to the Thunder Yang Sect’s Sect Master, Li Lie.

After he sorted out his feelings, Mo Lengyuan took out a spatial locale ball, identified the direction of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent, and rushed there with his flying boat.

Regardless of whether he was there in time, he had to ask the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent for help. Otherwise, the Thunder Court Immortal Continent would be done for and his Master would be doomed.

…

Di Jiu frantically activated his Spiritual Force escape technique. He did not want to go to the Thunder Court Immortal Continent to help. He wanted to go to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Di Jiu had spent decades to get to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City from the Outer Tripod Void City in the past. This time, it barely took him a day to reach the outside of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

The Immortal City’s Defense Array had not been touched, and the Peace Hotel was also safe and sound. Di Jiu scanned the place with his Spiritual Force and immediately sensed that two Guild Masters were indeed not in the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association. The Peace Hotel’s Old Zhong was not there either.

Di Jiu, who had originally been a bit confused, was now sure all the more that Old Zhong, Qu Hen, and Chen Zishun had left. However, this was somewhat strange.

“Alchemy Emperor Di…” Once Di Jiu stepped into the Immortal City, Mi Ji hurriedly came to welcome him.

Di Jiu nodded. “Didn’t the Thunder Court Immortal Continent invite you to help with the Beast Tide?”

Mi Ji hurriedly replied, “They did, but that Beast Tide is terrifying. Dozens of other void immortal cities were destroyed and the Thunder Court Immortal Continent is going through a crisis now. I was worried the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City would face a crisis too if I went.”

“Not bad, not bad…” Di Jiu patted Mi Ji’s shoulder and said in satisfaction, “A gentleman needs to take care of his roots. If he can’t even protect his home, helping someone else will only cause more trouble.”

To be honest, it would be a bit better to work with Mi Ji than with Qu Hen, as Mi Ji knew very well what was more important and what could be left behind.

Even if the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Beast Tide was not something strange, the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association could not send two Guild Masters over.

As for Old Zhong, Di Jiu was sure that he had gone because of the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith. However, he was not worried about him. Regardless of whether the other party was real or not, even if he wanted to get rid of Old Zhong, he probably did not qualify to do that.
