Ninth In the World

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “Alright. Jiao Dan, tell us. What’s going on?”

Di Jiu naturally called him that name deliberately. This guy indiscriminately wanted to uproot his shop. It would be strange if he was happy with that.

Fortunately, Jiao Da had dealt with the Demon Clan’s Void Booth Elixir Dispensary. If he dealt with any other elixir dispensaries, Di Jiu would make a move without hesitation.

Jiao Da was a little skeptical that Di Jiu had called him Jiao Dan on purpose. However, he really did not dare fight with Di Jiu again, as Di Jiu reminded him of Ye Mo.

If Jiao Da was afraid of someone, that had to be undoubtedly Ye Mo. As a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor, he had yet to see a second Primordial Dao cultivator besides Ye Mo who could suppress him.

Ye Mo had also been at Primordial Dao Realm, but he had been able to suppress him so that he would not dare spout nonsense. He had finally seen a second person at the Primordial Dao Realm who could contend against him today. Jiao Da simply did not want to offend such a person. He was sure that Di Jiu had yet to reach Primordial Chaos. Just like Ye Mo, the two of them were not easy to deal with.

“The Void Booth Elixir Dispensary is shameless. They are deceiving new cultivators, especially those from the Human Clan, who were bullied miserably here. My disciple was cheated out of a Nine-Star Bamboo by this shameless elixir dispensary. If he did not have certain means, I reckon that he would have been killed by them…” Jiao Da explained furiously.

Di Jiu was moved upon thinking of Luan Wenxing and Ji Lingzhu. The two of them had been cheated out of their Heaven Essence Fruit. Di Jiu had thought that after he’d exhibited his strength, Luan Wenxing would tell him who had cheated them out of their Heaven Essence Fruit. Unexpectedly, Luan Wenxing had not turned to him for help, as he had forgotten because of the Dao Fruit Pagoda jade cards and he had been setting up the shop.

Could this elixir dispensary have deceived Luan Wenxing and his wife? If that was true, he could understand why Luan Wenxing had not told him. He seemed to be on good terms with the Demon Clan’s Fan Yuan and he had taken a piece of territory from the Demon Clan’s Elixir Dispensary. Luan Wenxing had to be worried that he would be in a difficult position, so he had not told him about this.

If this was really the case, Luan Wenxing had acted appropriately this time. Since the people from the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary had cheated Luan Wenxing out of the Heaven Essence Fruit, why would he talk with him? He would just destroy the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary and occupy this place.

“Senior, the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary has never done anything like that…” shouted the Primordial Dao cultivator who had been thrown to the ground by Jiao Da hurriedly.

Kuang He, who stood aside, also said, “Yes. Seniors, the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary would never do such a thing. Plus, I have only heard of a treasure like the Nine-Star Bamboo. I have yet to see it.”

Jiao Da laughed and said, “Disciple, can you identify this trashy elixir store?”

Then, a black-haired young man appeared before everyone. He had come evidently from Jiao Da’s Quintessential World.

The young man pointed at that Primordial Dao cultivator while claiming, “This man cheated me and a woman who is not present.”

The heart of the Primordial Dao cultivator jumped. When he was about to retort, the black-haired young man took out a crystal ball and said, “Master, I was afraid the other party would play some kind of trick, so I recorded it all here.”

It was clearly shown that this black-haired young man had taken a Nine-Star Bamboo to refine the Starry Dao Pill.

Jiao Da snorted and pinched the Primordial Dao cultivator’s neck again. “Want to quibble? It was very bold of you to cheat my disciple. Even Zhuge Zhichen did not dare to do so, yet you had the guts.”

“Daoist Jiao, don’t pinch him to death…”

Jiao Da frowned upon hearing Di Jiu’s words and stared at him in dissatisfaction. “Why not? Now that things are clear, you still want to help this piece of trash? Could you indeed have colluded with the Demon Clan?”

Di Jiu, who was very dissatisfied with Jiao Da’s hot-tempered personality, answered faintly, “You don’t need to show an interest in who I collude with. I just want to ask this guy something.”

Hearing that Di Jiu was a little dissatisfied, Jiao Da forcibly kept his anger under control. He was not afraid that Di Jiu was now a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor. The point was that he was now only a Primordial Dao Sacred Emperor, which was terrifying.

Di Jiu looked at the Primordial Dao cultivator, whose neck was being pinched by Jiao Da, and said coldly, “Previously, my friends Luan Wenxing and Ji Lingzhu came to the Void City and brought a Heaven Essence Fruit…”

At the same time, Di Jiu clearly sensed some fluctuations in the laws around this Primordial Dao cultivator.

Di Jiu laughed. “It looks like I don’t need to ask anything. My friends Luan Wenxing and Ji Lingzhu were indeed cheated out of their Heaven Essence Fruit by this piece of trash.”

Knowing he could not escape, the Primordial Dao cultivator hurriedly explained, “Senior, I didn’t cheat them out of that Heaven Essence Fruit, but Jing Huishan…”

Jiao Da’s disciple furiously chided him. “Jing Huishan is your disciple. Nobody would believe that she was not instructed by you.”

Di Jiu opened his palm and the ring on the Primordial Dao cultivator’s fingers landed in it.

Jiao Da was shocked. How impressive…

“Ha ha… Brother Di, Brother Jiao… I’m a little late. Hey, what’s going on?” As soon as Fan Yuan walked over, his gaze landed on the Primordial Dao cultivator being pinched by Jiao Da, as though he had not come here for that.

Jiao Da’s expression turned ugly as he warned him, “Fan Yuan, don’t try being friendly with me. This Primordial Dao Sacred Emperor of the Demon Clan cheated my disciple out of his Nine-Star Bamboo and Daoist Di’s friend out of his Heaven Essence Fruit.”

In Fan Yuan’s opinion, he should not have dared to address him so casually.

Fan Yuan stared coldly at the Primordial Dao cultivator. “Fu Lun, you’re bold. The Demon Clan has always been well-known in the Void City, yet you have to resort to small tricks to ruin our reputation? Could you perhaps think that you are a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint and you can disregard the laws?”

Di Jiu took out a jade box and handed it to Jiao Da. “Daoist Jiao, I’ve found the Nine-Star Bamboo, so I’ll give it to you. However, I won’t be polite if there’s anything else.”

Di Jiu had discovered a huge amount of divine spirit herbs with good levels in Fu Lun’s ring. Since he was going to perform alchemy for other people, he also needed a huge amount of divine spirit herbs. Thus, Di Jiu did not intend to return this ring to Fu Lun.

Fan Yuan naturally knew how many good things were in Fu Lun’s ring. When he was about to speak, Di Jiu said first, “Daoist Fan, you’re not generous.”

“Ah…” Fan Yuan had not expected that Di Jiu would accuse him first. What was going on?

Di Jiu pointed to the shop that had been turned into ruins and said, “I told you before that I would help you take care of your shop. I was furious when Daoist Jiao came here to destroy your Void Booth Elixir Dispensary, so I nearly perished with him. What about the outcome, though? Your elixir dispensary Alchemy Master was indifferent and he cheated Daoist Jiao’s disciple out of the Nine-Star Bamboo and my friend out of the Heaven Essence Fruit. It’s funny that I’m still helping you. This is simply a slap across my face. After all, I need some dignity. If Daoist Jiao Da leaks this matter, how can I still face the Daoists of the Human Clan?”

Jiao Da had originally wanted Di Jiu to share the ring with him. Now that he had heard Di Jiu pronounce his name very accurately, he was very satisfied so he did not ask Di Jiu temporarily.

Fan Yuan knew that Di Jiu would never fight with Jiao Da for the sake of his shop. However, he had not expected Fu Lun to deceive Di Jiu’s friend. Wait, a Heaven Essence Fruit? He seemed to have heard of it…

The current strength of the Demon Clan was not the same as before. Since Di Jiu and Jiao Da stood together, Fan Yuan dared not flare up at them regardless of his guts. Even though he was extremely displeased, he could only stare at Fu Lun furiously. “Fu Lun, you must really have a death wish.”

Fu Lun did not dare say a word, as he was aware of the situation he was in. At the moment, Fan Yuan did not dare offend Di Jiu and Jiao Da. Otherwise, would he scold him? It had not been a day or two since he had cheated the new cultivators of the Human Clan out of those treasures before killing many of them in secret.

Fan Yuan had never cared. He did now only because he was afraid.

Meanwhile, Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “Forget it. On account of our friendship, I won’t kill this guy.”

He’d believed that if Jiao Da killed Fu Lun, that would be best. Otherwise, he would also kill Fu Lun after he left this place.
