Chapter 677: Uneasy Tang Xitan

After Di Jiu collected the Green Lotus, the white lake below it dried up for no reason. As for the Defense Array flame, which Di Jiu had wanted to use for advancing his Dao fire, it also vanished without a trace. He could sense that there was nothing here, so he turned to leave.

He had obtained many good things. Apart from the Green Lotus, the best item had to be Ji Hongsen’s ring. Di Jiu cared a lot about this ring. Rumor had it that Ji Hongsen had been extremely wealthy in the void realm. Tang Xitan had told him that Ji Hongsen and the Guang Yuan Palace’s Palatial Lord were the wealthiest in this void. Di Jiu wanted to know the extent of his wealth.

As soon as Di Jiu left the Netherworld Corner Castle, his Spiritual Force landed on Ji Hongsen’s ring. This was the first time he was itching to know how many good things were in this ring.

What astonished Di Jiu slightly was that there was only a high-grade divine weapon in this ring without a top-notch Quintessential World.

In his opinion, a wealthy person like Ji Hongsen should at least have a Quintessential World that had a Heaven Earth Law equivalent to the level of an Immortal World and it should not be lower than a supreme-grade divine weapon’s level.

Actually, that was not right. Di Jiu frowned a little again. Even though the restriction on this ring was a level-five divine restriction, it did not cost much effort. Apart from that, the ring’s restriction had yet to be set up.

Di Jiu thought about his own ring. Even though it was a backup ring, the restriction he used on it definitely required some strength. How could that old fox Ji Hongsen not make any effort to set up the ring’s restriction?

Ji Hongsen definitely had not put anything good in this ring. Di Jiu’s expression turned somewhat ugly. Wu Luo had not deceived him. The true things had been taken away by Fan Yuan. Since he had personally killed Wu Luo, he naturally had not lied to him.

…

An hour after Di Jiu left, a faint shadow that seemed to be Ji Hongsen floated up from the dried white lake. However, only his weak Principal Spirit existed. As for his physical body, Fan Yuan and the rest had gotten rid of it.

Ji Hongsen’s weak Principal Spirit stared at the entrance in the distance and said ruthlessly, “If I, Ji Hongsen, don’t exterminate these clans in the future, I will have cultivated in vain. I will burn every drop of this devious bastard Di Jiu’s blood and light the lamp for 490,000 years to dispel the hate in me.”

A Dao fruit abruptly appeared in Ji Hongsen’s mouth and he swallowed it. As a result, his faintly discernible Principal Spirit became much clearer.

Unfortunately, Di Jiu had left quickly. Otherwise, his Principal Spirit could not have persevered any longer. Besides, he was worried that his ring would be discovered, so it was definitely not safe here. He had to leave the Netherworld Corner Castle as soon as possible.

“I find this strange. I did not destroy your physical body. Why do you have such an opinion of me?” An abrupt voice spoke.

The bit of physical body that Ji Hongsen had just condensed trembled and seemed to loosen. He once again looked at Di Jiu, who was before him, in shock. He then asked in a trembling voice, “You obviously left…”

He was sure Di Jiu had left because the surveillance imprint that he had left outside the Netherworld Corner Castle had clearly recorded him going far away.

Not only did he know that Di Jiu had left the Netherworld Corner Castle, but he also knew Fan Yuan, Ma Jujia, Gou Zibi, and Dao Chuanxun had left as well. As for whether Wu Luo had left, he had obviously been killed by Di Jiu.

Why had Di Jiu, who had clearly left the Netherworld Corner Castle, come back all of a sudden so quickly?

“You’re too clever, so I could only make another trip back.” Di Jiu’s voice was like a huge iron hammer that struck Ji Hongsen’s scattered Principal Spirit and caused it to tremble even more.

“Brother Di, I’ve done something wrong. My ring is a top-notch Quintessential World. I’ll give it to you.” Without hesitation, Ji Hongsen threw a ring to Di Jiu. He only felt endless regret now. If he could turn back time, he definitely would not keep his ring or give his life away.

This was because he had accumulated the things in his ring over countless years. That was why he could not bear to part with them.

Even though he gave the ring, Ji Hongsen still knew that the possibility of Di Jiu sparing him was nearly zero. Unfortunately, he could not think of any way to save his life.

Di Jiu opened his palm and a ball of flame appeared. He then chuckled. “I should thank you. If it weren’t for you, I might have left a disaster behind.”

He threw the flame, which bound Ji Hongsen’s Principal Spirit instantly.

Di Jiu admired Ji Hongsen somewhat. This bastard really knew how to hide. His Spiritual Force had found the Green Lotus in the void, but he had not thought of looking for it on the ground. This reminded him that he could not ignore any place in the future. Simple neglect might cost him his life.

…

Ever since she had returned to the Void City, Tang Xitan had felt very uneasy.

She had passed on the incident of Wu Luo to the Phoenix Clan and come to the Void City simply to wait for Di Jiu. If Di Jiu did not return, it would mean that he was in danger.

Wu Luo was extremely sinister. The most terrible thing about him was not his combat strength, but his sinister methods. He could even exterminate a clan completely. Therefore, even if many experts were far superior to Wu Luo strength-wise, they would not be willing to start a feud with Wu Luo face-to-face.

Starting a feud and killing Wu Luo was a good thing. However, if they could not kill him, they would just have caused big trouble.

That day, Tang Xitan was pointing out the problems of Lightning and Ding Chi during cultivation. A thin woman in black hurried over. Tang Xitan was shocked when she saw the woman’s face. This woman was her confidant, Tang Xue’er. Tang Xue’er had stayed in the Void City to hear news. As long there was any movement, she would know immediately.

“What’s the matter, Xue’er?” Before Tang Xue’er could speak, Tang Xitan took the initiative instead.

Tang Xue’er replied urgently, “Sister Tan, I saw Fan Yuan enter the Void City and go to the Demon Clan’s garrison.”

“What? Was he injured?” Tang Xitan, who was startled, stood up suddenly. Her expression also changed.

According to her speculations, Ji Hongsen had apparently invited these people to find the Chaos Green Lotus with ill intentions. Since Fan Yuan was back, no matter what happened, Di Jiu would not have an easy time.

If Fan Yuan, Wu Luo, and Ji Hongsen joined forces, Di Jiu would definitely die. Once Di Jiu was dead, she did not believe Ji Hongsen would let her off.

Tang Xitan clenched her fists. Unfortunately, time would not wait for her. If she was given a few more years, after she incorporated the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood, she would not be afraid even if Ji Hongsen came.

The Phoenix Clan used to be glorious. However, ever since there had been no news from Sacred Lord Han Huang to Heaven’s Beyond, the Phoenix Clan no longer was the strong clan it used to be.

“Based on my observation, he is not injured. Plus, his aura is very strong,” Tang Xue’er answered, as she also understood Tang Xitan’s situation.

Tang Xitan frowned. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a voice. “Is Senior Sister Tang Xitan here? The Sacred Dao Sect’s Tang Beiwei came to visit.”

“Tang Beiwei?” Tang Xitan quickly remembered and hurriedly shouted, “Hurry up and invite her in! No, I’ll go by myself.”

Tang Xitan hurried downstairs and saw a somewhat haggard woman on the first floor of the Divine Phoenix Inn. Despite the woman’s complexion, Tang Xitan was shocked by her stunning looks. There were many beauties in the Phoenix Clan. However, compared to Tang Beiwei in front of her, these beauties could only be considered slightly beautiful.

“You’re Junior Sister Tang Beiwei?” Tang Xitan hurried forward to greet her.

“Yes, Beiwei greets you, Senior Sister Xitan.” When Tang Beiwei smiled slightly, it felt as if fresh flowers had bloomed. However, the entire space lost its color in a moment.

“Ha ha… Junior Sister Xitan, it’s easier to do things if you’re still here.” A hearty laugh was heard. Tang Xitan trembled when she heard this voice and her face paled slightly. Fan Yuan came, not even giving her any time to think.
