Ninth In The World Chapter 681 - Arrogant Xiang Mu

Chapter 681: Arrogant Xiang Mu

Tang Beiwei would not use this Nirvana Tree fragment to grow the Nirvana Tree but to search for her elder brother.

Due to her slow cultivation progress, she had not had the opportunity to partic.i.p.ate in that war. When she’d insanely entered reclusive cultivation and come out after attaining the Primordial Chaos Realm, she had found that she could no longer contact her elder brother. It was also impossible to go to Heaven’s Beyond. Many geniuses of the Sacred Dao World had been to Heaven’s Beyond, but not her.

She had been unable to go to Heaven’s Beyond in the past few years and had come to seek help from the Phoenix Clan this time because of matters regarding the Sacred Dao World. What surprised her was that the Nirvana Tree had appeared at this auction.

She naturally knew that the Nirvana Tree was related to the Tree of the World. Since there was a connection between them, as long as the Nirvana Tree sprouted after she obtained it, she could very likely sense the whereabouts of her elder brother.

Since the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill had been offered, there were no higher bids. How many clans were there besides the dozens of Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors present? Apart from the Demon Clan, the Devil Clan, and the Dragon Clan, no other clans would be impressive unless they had a half-step Primordial Chaos expert, much less a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor.

Due to the small numbers of Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors, the value of the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill stood out.

When n.o.body bid, the female cultivator once again announced the price on the platform. Three times later, Tang Beiwei managed to obtain the Nirvana Tree fragment.

Tang Beiwei excitedly collected the fragment and put it into her ring before her thumping heartbeat slowed down. No one could cultivate the Nirvana Tree fragment, but she could because she had a Five-Element World that she had ascended from. After experiencing large success cultivation-wise, she would simply perfect this Five-Element World again.

A treasure like the Five-Element World far surpa.s.sed the Quintessential World and was second only to the Chaos World. If someone knew she had the Five-Element World, n.o.body could save her, let alone her brother, Ye Mo.

“Junior Sister Beiwei, you are so careless…” When Tang Beiwei excitedly collected the Nirvana Tree fragment, Tang Xitan sighed. After all, she knew that there was more to come.

At least dozens of Spiritual Forces scanned the cabin of Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan without restraint, which made Tang Xitan feel even more worried.

Those in the cabin who could attend the auction had to have a certain power apart from a particular status. Moreover, Tang Beiwei and her cabin were at the front. Despite this, since people scanned the cabin with their Spiritual Force without restraint, it was evident that they were not afraid of the two of them at all. Therefore, they were at least mid-stage Primordial Chaos or late-stage Primordial Chaos experts.

Many good things appeared again after that item at the auction, and Tang Xitan wanted to bid for some of them. However, at the thought of what would happen next, she lost interest.

She simply could not abandon Tang Beiwei. Although Tang Beiwei had caused trouble, not only was she a member of the Sacred Dao World, but she was also Dao Lord Ye’s younger sister. Regardless of her perspective, she could not abandon Tang Beiwei. Otherwise, how would Tang Xitan make a name for herself in the future?

She recalled that when she had been friends with Di Jiu a few years ago, he had not hesitated to help her avoid the disaster and had let her go first. Tang Xitan secretly made up her mind not to abandon Tang Beiwei. Even if she had to use the trump card of the Phoenix Clan, she would have to save Tang Beiwei.

After a few more days, this auction, which was filled with many treasures, finally ended.

Many cultivators who had come to the auction left one after another. Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan could not leave, as their main purpose for coming was the upcoming Hundred Clan Conference.

…

The Hundred Clan Conference held by the Dragon Clan was a veritable event. Apart from the large void clans—the Devil Clan, the Demon Clan, the Underworld Yin Clan, the Sea Clan, the Dragon Clan, and many more—some small clans that had rarely come out in the past also attended this conference. For example, the Blood Clan, the Wing Clan, the Heavenly Purification Clan, the Hundred Clan, and many more. At first glance, there were more than 100 clans.

Everyone who came knew that the clans in this realm were definitely not just limited to the ones sitting there, as many clans were not qualified to be there. In other words, there would not be much difference even if they were invited.

Tang Xitan and Tang Beiwei represented the Phoenix Clan and the Human Clan respectively, which were also top-notch large clans in this void. Therefore, they naturally sat near the front.

More and more people arrived, but everyone knew that the Dragon Clan hosted the Hundred Clan Conference this time. However, the conference had yet to start because the head of the Dragon Clan had not arrived.

“Beiwei…”

Tang Xitan had just called her name, but before she could speak, an abrupt voice interrupted her. “It’s been a long time since I saw you, Junior Sister Tang. Your cultivation level has improved recently. Congratulations.”

A tall, black-haired, strong man spoke while radiating a majestic aura all over. Even though that person’s domain had yet to be extended, he had undoubtedly revealed his power.

Standing beside this man was a short guy who looked like bark. Tang Xitan thought of Guang Mingzi when she looked at him. What surprised her was that the bark-faced cultivator’s cultivation level had suppressed hers, giving her an incomprehensible feeling.

Tang Xitan quickly stood up and greeted him with cupped fists. “Greetings, Senior Brother Ji. Despite this small improvement, I’m still too far behind you.”

Tang Xitan naturally knew that he was the Devil Clan’s Ji Lie. He was the top expert of his clan and a late-stage Primordial Chaos expert.

“Ha ha… Junior Sister Xitan is being polite. Let me introduce to you Xiang Mu, the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Purification Clan.” Ji Lie laughed as he introduced the short bark-faced man on the side to Tang Xitan.

Tang Xitan hurriedly returned the greeting. “The Phoenix Clan’s Tang Xitan greets Heavenly Purification Clan Leader Xiang.”

Xiang Mu snorted and immediately said, “I heard that you went to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island.”

“Yes, I went there indeed.” Tang Xitan could vaguely sense what the other party was going to inquire about.

Sure enough, Xiang Mu said, “Since you have been to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island, you should know Junior Brother Guang Mingzi, right? Why hasn’t he come back so far?”

Tang Xitan yelled in her heart. How could she know why he had yet to come back? However, given her cultivation strength, such words could only be said deep down. She instead replied politely, “I am not very clear because I came back earlier.”

She did not mention that the Sea Clan’s Ma Jujia and the Demon Clan’s Fan Yuan had gone to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island as well. If the other party could investigate her, the same could apply to Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia. He had asked her to check whether the information he had obtained was accurate. Plus, Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia would not answer him directly.

Xiang Mu frowned. He had tried to ask Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia several times, but he had been unable to meet these two after the first time they’d avoided his question. They were giving him the feeling that they were avoiding him. He had been to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island, but no one had been there.

In fact, Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia were indeed hiding from Xiang Mu. If someone else had killed Guang Mingzi, they would have said so. Since a terrifying guy like Di Jiu had killed Guang Mingzi, they dared not mention his name casually. It would not be good if they provoked Di Jiu and made him angry.

Although Xiang Mu was powerful, he was also a late-stage Primordial Chaos expert. Compared to Di Jiu, they would rather offend Xiang Mu.

“Who is this beside you?” Xiang Mu suddenly looked at Tang Beiwei.

Before Tang Xitan could speak, Tang Beiwei said calmly, “I am Tang Beiwei from the Sacred Dao World.”

Unlike Tang Xitan, who was afraid of Xiang Mu, Tang Beiwei was neither overbearing nor humble.

“Not bad. Give me the tree fragment you obtained from the auction house. I’m from the Heavenly Purification Clan, so this is more useful in my hands than in yours. Of course, I won’t leave you at a disadvantage.” Xiang Mu looked at Tang Beiwei as he spoke faintly, his domain crus.h.i.+ng over.

Tang Beiwei was furious. She suddenly stood up and her domain surged up madly.

Boom! Tang Beiwei’s domain clashed with Xiang Mu’s domain, shaking the hall as if it could be torn by the domain at any time.

At that moment, besides Xiang Mu, even Ji Lie was startled. Where had this peak beautiful female cultivator come from? She had clearly just reached Primordial Chaos, but why was her domain so powerful? Against late-stage Primordial Chaos Xiang Mu, she was still slightly behind.
