Chapter 445: A Group Went In but Four People Came Out

“Brother Di...” When Mi Ji saw Di Jiu’s means of dealing with Meng Qianqian, his heart trembled. He knew that he was still in danger.

Di Jiu’s tone turned cold. “It’s not your turn to talk yet.”

If Di Jiu didn’t want to continue staying in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, he would have already killed Mi Ji. However, he knew very well that if he killed Mi Ji, there would still be others unless he stayed in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Under normal circumstances, Mi Ji seldom managed things. He somewhat adored the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, so it would be best for someone like him to stay there and become the City Lord.

There were also a lot of things he needed to ask Mi Ji about this entire matter.

Meng Qianqian knew her place. Thus, when she heard Di Jiu berating Mi Ji, she hurriedly said, “The Eternal Moon Building will offer 20% of the shares to Brother Di...”

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “Don’t say such useless things. I won’t be the same as people like you guys, who cannot stand it when other people have good things. Keep the Eternal Moon Building shares for yourself. I’m short of some immortal spirit herbs.”

When Meng Qianqian heard that he didn’t want the Eternal Moon Building, she promptly said, “The Eternal Moon Building will offer a supreme-grade wood-element immortal spirit meridian, 500 level-seven immortal spirit herbs, 200 level-eight and 100 level-nine immortal spirit herbs, 100 supreme-grade immortal crystals, one billion top-quality immortal crystals, and 500 pieces of level-nine blacksmithing materials.”

After Meng Qianqian was done, she looked at Di Jiu nervously.

Di Jiu thought hard. “Guild Master Meng has been startled. Please have a seat. Little Tree, help Guild Master Meng have a seat without delay.”

The things that Meng Qianqian had offered were things Di Jiu needed eagerly. Meng Qianqian could provide so many things that he needed urgently, so he would spare this woman this once.

“Yes, Big Brother.” Little Tree scuttled out and lent an arm to support Meng Qianqian to the seat on the right.

Meng Qianqian, who was relieved, took out a number of elixir pills to swallow them.

Her injury was not light, but the Eternal Moon Building had some top-notch healing elixirs.

Upon seeing that Mi Ji wanted to talk again, Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “You speak last.”

When he finished this sentence, he raised his hands and a fireball bound Jie Guangmao. Jie Guangmao, who had been riddled with wounds, couldn’t afford to suffer any more serious injuries. He was still wondering what he should take out to beg for his life, so he had not expected that Di Jiu would have no intention of questioning him and would directly give him a fireball.

Although he had countless things to say now, he had to hold them in. He thought that a dog like him would actually not want anything from him. Previously, in the confinement array, he had not killed him. Why had he kept him alive to kill him now?

Di Jiu had never thought of asking Jie Guangmao for something in exchange for his life. He had originally wanted to kill him. However, if he killed him now, he would naturally make the two survivors tremble with even more fear.

Upon seeing Di Jiu’s gaze sweeping over, the Guild Master of Star Elixir Dispensary, Cheng Xingren, fought a cold battle subconsciously and hurriedly greeted him. “Greetings from the Guild Master of Star Elixir Dispensary, Cheng Xingren, Daoist Di.”

Di Jiu heaved a sigh. “I was originally an Honorary Alchemy Master of Star Elixir Dispensary. Your cultivation isn’t that great. Why are you so evil-hearted? Did you still want to capture me and take me to the Little Black House of Star Elixir Dispensary for alchemy purposes?”

“Daoist Di, this matter...”

Cheng Xingren had barely said two words when a fireball was thrown over by Di Jiu. Cheng Xingren’s injuries were much lighter than Jie Guangmao’s, so he hastily avoided the fireball the moment he saw it. However, he immediately realized he was confined by a formidable domain. He sighed and didn’t beg for forgiveness. He would rather disperse his Principal Spirit and life-force.

A firm person like Di Jiu would humiliate him even if he begged for forgiveness.

When Di Jiu saw that Cheng Xingren did not beg for forgiveness, he realized he had overestimated him. Truthfully speaking, Di Jiu had spared Jie Guangmao because he wanted to kill Li Wei indeed. However, he had spared Cheng Xingren and planned to ask about Huo Jianqian’s whereabouts. Although he hesitated for a while, he still killed Cheng Xingren directly without questioning him about Huo Jianqian.

He had offended too many people now. If he asked Huo Jianqian, he would make other people think that he had a good relationship with Huo Jianqian. If he left the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City in the future, Huo Jianqian would be at a disadvantage.

“Daoist Di, I’m not as rich as Guild Master Meng...” Xie Wanling, who had watched Di Jiu kill two people in a row, was worried he would make a move on him.

Right now, all his regrets were secondary. Saving his life was his priority.

Di Jiu walked over to Xie Wanling’s side and patted his head. “Palatial Lord Xie, I wouldn’t dare have a Daoist like you. You even dared to lock up your own wife and scheme against your own son. I don’t meet such scumbags often.”

“Yes, I care a lot about my Dao. I will let Xie Huang and his mother out immediately...” Xie Wanling said without a delay.

Di Jiu looked at Xie Wanling with a mocking expression. “A person like you? Don’t deceive me, alright? Get lost. For Xie Huang’s sake, I will spare your lowly life today.”

He did spare him. Di Jiu had also put a nomological imprint on Xie Wanling’s Spiritual Sea. He was very pleased deep down. Xie Wanling hadn’t opened up his heart only because he had been heavily wounded by Zhong Ao, but also because he had put a nomological imprint on him. This explained why the intensity of his Spiritual Force could be more powerful than Xie Wanling’s.

Yue Wuliang handed a jade box over to Di Jiu. “Daoist Di, I obtained this by chance. I’ll give this to you.”

Di Jiu took the jade box but did not open it. His Spiritual Force directly opened the restriction on the jade box and landed inside. When his Spiritual Force scanned the item in the jade box, he immediately felt great joy.

Inside it was a Fire Origin crystal, which was something he needed at the moment. He had two flames and the Dao fire was a level-nine immortal flame. He also had a Void Gray Flame, but he had been unable to step into the level-seven immortal flame. This Fire Origin crystal was exactly what he needed.

Even though he could use this Fire Origin crystal, the number of things Yue Wuliang took out was far smaller than the number of things Meng Qianqian had offered, which made Di Jiu feel dissatisfied. This guy had taken out the Fire Origin crystal and placed a restriction so that he would open the restriction and the Fire Origin crystal would leak in his hands. He’d had completely ill intentions.

“You may take your leave. You have killed Bai Ye from the New Moon Commercial Building. After you leave the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, remember to pull the New Moon Commercial Building out by the roots.” Di Jiu gestured with his hands as though he was chasing flies away.

If he had not allowed this guy to share the power of fire and spared him along with Xie Wanling so they would kill each other, Di Jiu would have already activated the nomological restriction and blown Yue Wuliang’s brains.

Di Jiu felt that the thing that Yue Wuliang had taken out was not as good as Meng Qianqian’s offer, but Yue Wuliang felt that his offer was the most precious. He had wanted Di Jiu to open the restriction on the jade box indeed and leak the Fire Origin crystal. He hadn’t expected that Di Jiu would put away the jade box immediately and gesture for a Great Immortal Emperor like him to take his leave.

“Thank you very much, Daoist Di.” Yue Wuliang smiled sullenly with cupped fists and took several steps back. His heart was numb, and he was grinning. Perhaps this was Yue Wuliang’s inner world at the moment.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, Yin Mou is ashamed...” When he saw that Di Jiu was almost done handling this matter, Yin Wushang stepped forward to greet him with cupped fists.

Di Jiu also said with cupped fists, “Daoist Yin, you are being very polite. I simply have too many matters to settle today, so I have no time to receive you.”

Yin Wushang hurriedly said, “Alchemy Emperor Di is really polite. I am here to thank Alchemy Emperor Di and also ask Alchemy Emperor Di to refine a few cauldrons of these previous elixir pills for me.”

Di Jiu nodded. “No problem. I have enough immortal spirit herbs here. I will refine a few cauldrons of elixir pills for free for you, Daoist Yin.”

The maximum number of grade-nine immortal pills at this place was three. Although Di Jiu said this was free, he had, in fact, already received a 50% remuneration.

Yin Wushang was absolutely a top-notch expert. Becoming friends with such a person was not always a bad thing.

The moment Yin Wushang entered, he only saw Di Jiu’s merciless way of handling matters. In fact, he had already regretted this. He should have made a move without the slightest hesitation. If he had, he would have been Di Jiu’s firm ally.

Yin Wushang hadn’t expected that, given his past hesitation, Di Jiu would still refine pills for him like before without any remuneration. In the Starry Sky, a grade-nine Alchemy Emperor was scarcely lacking more than an Immortal Emperor.

“Thank you, Alchemy Emperor Di. If you have any errands hereafter, the Yin Family and I will say nothing.” As he spoke, Yin Wushang handed a purple card over to Di Jiu. “This is the most precious VIP card of the Yin Family. As long as there is still someone left in my family, use this card and a member of the Yin Family will come over.”

Di Jiu, who had originally wanted to be friends with Yin Wushang, put away the purple jade card and said with cupped fists, “I will accept it in that case.”

While Yin Wushang sat down, looking perfectly satisfied, Di Jiu said loudly, “Everyone, the goal of the Peace Hotel is to ensure peace. I hope that today is the only unpeaceful day the Peace Hotel and I experience. Because of this fight, our hotel has suffered heavy losses. I need to reconstruct it, so I won’t keep everyone here any longer.”

Besides Yin Wushang, everyone else was eager to leave. Now that Di Jiu had said that he would not keep them, everyone took their leave with cupped fists eagerly.

Today, they had seen the only way out after the Confinement Killing Immortal Array had appeared. In their hearts, they knew they would be doomed if they came here again in the future.

Mi Ji, who hadn’t been spoken to by anyone, looked at Di Jiu with some worry. Di Jiu took the initiative to walk over to Mi Ji’s side and patted his shoulder. “City Lord Mi, you better just be the City Lord. I think that the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array isn’t great. Prepare the materials for the Defense Array and I will find someone to set up the Defense Array again in a few days.”

“Yes, I’ll prepare them.” Mi Ji finally felt relieved.

Di Jiu did not mention the Square Immortal Continent Teleportation Array. He intended to set up the Defense Array of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City again and then question Mi Ji about the Teleportation Array.
