Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

A middle-aged man with a full beard said, “Union Master Shen, I reckon this matter is not simple. Let’s go in first.”

He was called Luo Weike and was also a Semi-Core expert. He was considered the top in Europe and the Deputy Union Master of the Earth Union.

The three people who followed behind Luo Weike were the Earth Union’s executive head of secretary, Tang Xueshan, who was a Semi-Core expert, as well as America’s Liberal Union Chairman, Semi-Core expert Wa Di, and Africa’s Semi-Core expert Mu Linte.

It could be said that the majority of the top-notch warriors on this planet were gathered there.

Tang Xueshan could also see that Shen Ziyu was a bit absent-minded. He prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to her.

Although Shen Ziyu had the highest cultivation level, learned martial arts wholeheartedly, and hated power struggles, she had been extremely important ever since the demon beast outbreak on Earth.

Demon beasts and ferocious beasts could not be exterminated by ordinary hot weapons. Also, when some top-notch demon beasts were locked down by missiles, they would sense it and would seek a way to survive straight away.

As for nuclear weapons, nobody dared to use them yet. The ferocious beasts on Earth were at least still within a range of control. Once they used such a destructive weapon, the demon beasts would not be the only ones exterminated.

Even though Tang Xueshan was a Semi-Core expert, he was not just a bit far compared to Shen Ziyu. Back then, an extremely cruel high-level demon beast had appeared at the South Pole. Thanks to the leadership of Shen Ziyu and the sacrifice of 17 warriors’ lives, that top-notch demon beast had finally been killed.

Thus, Tang Xueshan hoped in his heart that nothing would happen to Shen Ziyu.

“Right, right. Everyone, let’s go in.” Shen Ziyu got back to her previous state of mind.

Although the place where Shen Ziyu lived in seclusion was in Valley Ocean, it was not small. It had a half-acre courtyard as well as a balcony where one could sip tea.

After leading everyone, getting them seated on the balcony, and making tea for them, Shen Ziyu said apologetically, “I’ve been bothered by some issues these days and thus did not come back to my senses momentarily. Please forgive me.”

“Union Master Shen, do you need our help?” Tang Xueshan asked worriedly.

Shen Ziyu shook her head. “I’m fine. I’ll handle this matter on my own later on. What’s going on with South Elixir Mountain? I remember that Feng Qilin, Da Le, and De Ni were the ones who went at the time. One or two of them should have been able to escape based on their strength if anything happened to them, right?”

Shen Ziyu was very clear-minded at the moment. There could not be anyone like Di Jiu, and he had said earlier that he had just returned to Earth. In other words, it was hard to cultivate and be more formidable than Di Jiu on Earth.

“Tang, you should say it.” Luo Weike looked at Tang Xueshan.

The Chinese language is the most common language on Earth, even though it is a bit more troublesome to learn. Luo Weike’s enunciation was definitely not as clear as Tang Xueshan’s.

Tang Xueshan nodded and his expression turned solemn. “At the time, we thought that it was only some thunder rolls due to landform problems, so we did not pay too much attention. However, when Feng Qilin went, we had his travel record all the way there. His signal was suddenly cut off when he arrived on South Elixir Mountain. We then heard the roar of a beast. At the same time, an image was transmitted over…”

Tang Xueshan sent a signal to Mu Linte and he took out a small projector. On the white wall directly in front of them, a huge claw headed towards Feng Qilin and the other two. They could not resist at all. After the three of them were captured, there was no news of them and their signal could not be connected back.

“These are the top-notch demon beasts?” Shen Ziyu’s expression changed. She had battled with demon beasts for so many years. How could she not know that such demon beasts were already the most top-notch demon beasts on Earth?

The four of them, including Luo Weike, nodded as their faces sank. They clearly knew that this was a top-notch demon beast.

“I suspect this demon beast is at least at level four, which completely exceeds our capability. Maybe…” Tang Xueshan sighed and eventually did not finish his sentence.

Humans already had no other techniques to deal with a level-four demon beast besides using nuclear weapons. However, could nuclear weapons get rid of them?

If they could not do so, this level-four demon beast would wreak havoc on the entire Earth. This also meant that even if they got rid of it, the contamination would not be what they wanted to see.

Shen Ziyu let out a deep sigh and said slowly, “I understand. The thunder rolls on South Elixir Mountain previously must have been the Tribulation Transcendence of this demon beast.”

They could no longer handle such matters, let alone hand them over to the country to handle.

“Union Master Shen, that demon wolf at the South Pole was also gotten rid of under your leadership last time. I believe we should be able to get rid of it with more people under your leadership once again,” Luo Weike said.

Shen Ziyu shook her head. “That demon wolf might not necessarily have been driven away by us last time. We only seriously injured it at the time.”

“But that demon wolf clearly died, didn’t it?” Wa Di, who was tall and Caucasian, said in confusion.

Shen Ziyu explained, “The fatal blow of that demon wolf should be a burn and none of us attacked with a flame, right? I suspect that after we seriously injured it, it encountered an expert who killed it and did not take its dead body away. I saw that image earlier and this demon beast seemed to be much more valiant than the demon wolf at the South Pole. I’m afraid it would be in vain no matter how many people we brought along.”

“What should we do?” Tang Xueshan glanced at Shen Ziyu. He currently did not have any ideas whatsoever.

Shen Ziyu sighed. “We don’t have to use those ultimate weapons. There is someone who should be able to get rid of this demon beast, but…”

Upon hearing that, the other four people stood up simultaneously and looked at Shen Ziyu in excitement. Someone could get rid of such a top-notch demon beast?

There was such an expert on Earth?

“Union Master Shen, is he the expert who killed the demon wolf at the South Pole?” Tang Xueshan looked at Shen Ziyu in pleasant surprise.

Shen Ziyu shook her head. “It’s not him. I met this person a few days ago and he is staying in Wang Chuan Temple. At the time, Shan Muxin had just broken through to the Semi-Core Realm…”

“Ah, Shan Muxin has already broken through to the Semi-Core?” Tang Xueshan uttered in astonishment, his eyes turning solemn.

Shen Ziyu mocked herself and laughed. “That person offended Shan Muxin, so after Shan Muxin broke through to the Semi-Core Realm, he invited many people to deal with him. I was also included in the invitation.”

Tang Xueshan snorted. “The Shan Family has gone overboard these years. The martial arts cultivation of my generation is not meant for any violation but to uphold peace.”

Shen Ziyu knew Tang Xueshan hated the Shan Family, so she said faintly, “In front of that person, Shan Muxin did not even have a chance to strike and was thus killed by the Quintessential Essence hand seal.”

A Quintessential Essence hand seal could kill a Semi-Core expert?

Tang Xueshan, Luo Weike, and the others looked at each other. This was too outrageous.

“Union Master Shen, please bring us to meet that Senior,” Tang Xueshan responded in excitement.

Shen Ziyu sighed and said, “He just got married…”

Tang Xueshan hurriedly said, “Since that Senior can cultivate to this extent, he did not abuse his power and is clearly a sincere person. We just need to tell him that if that demon beast is not killed, there will be a catastrophe on the entire Earth once it leaves South Elixir Mountain.”

If by any chance that demon beast charged into a city, it would not be easy to deal with it even if they used nuclear weapons.

…

Di Jiu let out a sigh of relief. Through his hard work in the past few days, he had finally stripped away the Poison Dao pattern in his body.

He did not know who the invisible Poison Dao pattern in the talisman was going to harm, but it had almost tormented him to death. He would definitely not let that person off.

Even though he had been terribly harmed by the Poison Dao pattern, Di Jiu did not end up empty-handed. His Dao heart was even more perfected and he had complete control of a law on this Dao pattern.

In other words, he could strip it away in a breath’s time if he suffered this kind of Poison Dao pattern once again. He did not even need to strip it away. He could degenerate it directly.

Di Jiu glanced at Nong Xiuqi, who was working hard to cultivate, and felt warm. He had already engraved everything he needed to teach her in her mind and had also used the Ninth Dao Law to open up the Starry Sky meridian for her.

This was because the Ninth Dao Law only obeyed him and he had already reached the peak in understanding the Heaven Earth Law. Otherwise, he could have only opened up the galaxy meridian.

The Starry Sky meridian he opened up provided so much Spirit Qi that Nong Xiuqi’s cultivation level made rapid progress.

After stripping away the Poison Dao pattern, the first thing Di Jiu wanted to do was search for the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge. He only had one goal for coming to Earth and that was to search for the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge.

After he found the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge, Di Jiu did not intend to leave Earth immediately. He felt that his current Dao seemed to have been perfected to the ultimate limit. If he refined grade-nine immortal pills now, it should not pose a problem. Plus, he could attain the Immortal Emperor Realm.
