Ninth In The World Chapter 800 - Eccentric

Chapter 800: Eccentric

With this saber move of Di Jiu, he felt that every inch of his domain had shattered and the void that had originally been under his control no longer belonged to him.

Duan Shen grabbed the gourd at his waist, which turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y lake.

Boom! When the Heavenly Aqua Saber clashed with the b.l.o.o.d.y lake, a ruthless murderous aura exploded everywhere along with the smell of blood. Duan Shen retreated to a corner of the hall before stopping. He already knew in his heart that it made sense that Gou Wansheng had been so afraid of Di Jiu. Di Jiu was definitely stronger than him and not by just a bit.

“Daoist Di, I have no intention of becoming enemies with you. If we must fight, I will not fear you. I also know a little about the place Brother Gou mentioned. It will be disadvantageous to everyone if I die,” Duan Shen said coldly, clutching onto his gourd.

Gou Wansheng knew Duan Shen very well and he knew that Duan Shen was afraid. At the same time, he also felt sad for himself. Usually, a person like Duan Shen was not qualified to be on equal footing with him, but Duan Shen was obviously stronger than him now.

Di Jiu did not step forward to make a move, as the goal of this saber move had been achieved.

Duan Shen had come forward to a.s.sociate with him. He had ignored Duan Shen and had slashed at him. One of his goals was to let Duan Shen know that he was eccentric and he therefore shouldn’t challenge his bottom line. His second goal was to tell Duan Shen not to think about joining forces with Gou Wansheng to sneak an attack on him. He would sneak an attack in vain given his strength. When that happened, given Di Jiu’s temperament, he would have to kill Duan Shen even if it meant going to the end of the world.

“Since you’ve given me guidance, I’ll let you off this time.” While he said that, Di Jiu hung the Heavenly Aqua Saber on his back.

Upon seeing that Di Jiu hadn’t taken any more action, Duan Shen was relieved and was secretly shocked by Di Jiu’s strength. Although he had taken the initiative to greet Di Jiu, in fact, he had already planned to kill Di Jiu by sneaking an attack on him.

Duan Shen had a nickname that many people didn’t know about. He was called Invisible and many cultivators with a higher cultivation level had died in his hands. Just like the yellow-haired Grand Elder of the Xian Family, he would not necessarily be a match for him if they truly fought. However, he had relied on Gou Wansheng’s reputation and successfully launched a sneak attack, thus bringing him to the ground.

When he had first seen Di Jiu, he hadn’t taken him seriously. Even if such a young cultivator was stronger than Gou Wansheng, he was nothing to Duan Shen. As long as he complimented Di Jiu, he could eventually find an opportunity to sneak an attack on him given Di Jiu’s inexperience, which stemmed from his young age.

However, Di Jiu had shown him what it meant to be eccentric and that it would be better for him not to approach such a cultivator or pretend to compliment them. As for plotting against him, without sufficient benefits and conditions, he still should not think about joining forces with Gou Wansheng.

“Brother Di…” Xian Bainan hurriedly bowed in Di Jiu’s direction with cupped fists. Deep down, he knew how shocked he was.

Di Jiu faintly replied, “I won’t become brothers with a person like you. I’ll return the Spiritual Force imprint. Qu Fang, let’s go. Oh, that’s right. You two come along and take me to the place you mentioned.”

Xian Cang, who had walked in, was dumbfounded. He had thought that there would be an intense battle after Di Jiu came in. If Di Jiu could survive, maybe he could save the Family Head of the Xian Family.

Now, he had discovered that with one saber move of Di Jiu, these two people had become really obedient and had no intention of fighting with Di Jiu anymore.

“Senior Di, thank you.” Upon seeing Di Jiu walk over with Qu Fang, Xian Cang bowed.

Di Jiu patted Xian Cang and said, “I promised some cultivators that I would help them refine some armor. I’m leaving now, so your family should arrange for someone to help refine them for a few days. Remember, I don’t collect a fee for refining armor.”

“Yes. Rest a.s.sured, Brother Di. I will definitely make proper arrangements,” Xian Bainan responded quickly.

Di Jiu raised his hand to grab a jade box and threw it to Xian Bainan. “I will give you your family’s things. Don’t make me angry next time.”

Upon saying that, Di Jiu left the guest hall without stopping and departed with Qu Fang. Gou Wansheng and Duan Shen quickly followed. Di Jiu wanted to make use of them to go to the Creation battlefield, just like they wanted to make use of Di Jiu’s strength.

“Xian Cang, well done. Without you, the Xian Family would have been in danger this time.” Xian Bainan sounded excited, as he was aware that Xian Cang had brought Di Jiu over.

“Eldest Elder, this is what I should do.” Xian Cang quickly bowed and stepped forward to help Xian Wuxun up.

Xian Bainan nodded his head. He then took an elixir pill and sent it into the mouth of the yellow-haired Elder on the ground. That was the Xian Family’s Grand Elder, Xian Yu, whose cultivation level was not inferior to his.

In just half an hour, Xian Yu came back to his senses and suddenly stood up. His Spiritual Force and gaze scanned the place.

“Where are Gou Wansheng and Duan Shen?” When Xian Yu did not find the two experts who had wanted to wipe out the Xian Family, he got worried.

Xian Bainan hurriedly told him about the situation involving Xian Cang inviting Di Jiu over. Upon hearing that Di Jiu could easily crush Duan Shen and Gou Wansheng alone, Xian Yu gasped and said, “Bainan, you were right indeed. He is really strong. The Xian Family acted in the nick of time. Otherwise, we would have been wiped out before Gou Wansheng and Duan Shen had even come.”

Xian Wuxun had always been conscious, so he knew the entire story. At that moment, he said, “Duan Shen and Gou Wansheng are both very strong. I’m afraid they have reached the third step.”

Xian Yu shook his head and responded, “No, these two are not necessarily stronger than me and Bainan. The reason my soul and six senses were sealed was that Duan Shen sneaked an attack on me. When Bainan and I heard of Gou Wansheng’s fame, we were shocked and scared. Then, the smiling Duan Shen sneaked an attack. He is a sinister person. After he snuck an attack, I realized that Gou Wansheng is not as strong as he used to be. We don’t have to be afraid, actually. Di Jiu, on the other hand, is the strongest.”

Xian Bainan nodded. “The Grand Elder is right. It was indeed our fear for Gou Wansheng that led sinister Duan Shen to sneak an attack on us. Otherwise, Xian Yu, the Family Head, and I would not have suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat even if we couldn’t take down Duan Shen and Gou Wansheng.”

Xian Yu and Xian Bainan were both experts. Therefore, they naturally believed that this situation was evitable.

After Xian Bainan opened the jade box that Di Jiu had thrown back and took a look, he said with a sigh, “It’s indeed the Spiritual Force imprint that I left on him. This Spiritual Force imprint is bound in this jade box. If I don’t open it, I will not detect it myself. It’s formidable. Truly formidable.”

How could it not be formidable since he could not even detect his own Spiritual Force imprint?

“Eldest Elder, did you really leave a Spiritual Force imprint on Di Jiu?” Xian Wuxun asked in surprise.

Xian Bainan nodded. “Yes, I did. Fortunately, for the sake of Xian Cang, he did not care about our recklessness.”

Xian Cang also felt lingering fear and was glad that he had not misjudged Di Jiu, who was a true expert.

Yellow-haired Xian Yu shook his head. “Di Jiu indeed did this partly for the sake of Xian Cang, but most importantly, the Xian Family never went overboard.”

Xian Bainan agreed with that. “Yes, I’m sure that is one of the reasons. The Xian Family has always tried not to bully others. Today, our efforts were reciprocated.”

“However, Di Jiu seems a bit eccentric,” Xian Wuxun said. Even though he could not move, he knew that Di Jiu had slashed at Xian Yu, who had greeted him.

Xian Bainan mumbled, “Hence, he became a terrifying expert with an eccentric character. Don’t you find him eccentric? Even though he wanted the jade talisman, he managed to exchange it in an orderly manner.”

“Eldest Elder, did he deliberately use that saber move?” Xian Wuxun had just been enlightened.

Xian Bainan replied affirmatively, “That’s right, he did that on purpose. Unfortunately, the Xian Family can’t be a.s.sociated with such an expert.”
