Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

If fury could be ignited, Mo Sheng’s fury would probably have burned the Innocuous Realm. The more furious he was, the more afraid he felt.

The young man with the surname Di in front of him was obviously an unrestrained guy. Otherwise, he would not have dared to provoke the Mo Family.

There could only be two reasons why. First, the other party was extremely powerful and did not fear the Mo Family. Second, the other party carried a top-notch power that the Mo Family would not dare do anything against.

Regardless of whether there was top-notch strength behind Di Jiu, Mo Sheng was already sure that he was not a weakling. He was most likely a Dao Integration expert.

But so what if he was? The Mo Family had more than one such expert.

“Elder Sheng.” Upon seeing Mo Sheng come over, the cultivator who was guarding the array door hurriedly bowed.

“Get lost!” Mo Sheng kicked him and sent the guarding cultivator flying.

“Brother Di, this guard of the Mo Family has offended you. I will send him to our criminal hall later.” After Mo Sheng kicked away this guarding cultivator, he addressed Di Jiu apologetically.

It was impossible to send this guard to the criminal hall, but he did this for two reasons. First, Di Jiu had come to look for the family head and this fellow had actually dared not to report it. This might seem trivial, but it was absolutely unusual for someone to come there to find the family head. Second, he would seal the array door. When he did that abruptly, what would the guard do in a panic?

The Mo Family’s array door was open all year round because nobody had dared to cause them trouble.

Di Jiu sneered and responded with interest, “This guard has been relieved of his duties. What will the Mo Family’s criminal hall sentence him to later?”

Mo Sheng replied grimly, “He stopped a noble guest of the Mo Family, so he will surely receive punishment. The lightest sentence will be cultivation level abolishment. The elder of the criminal hall hates guards who only act on their own initiative the most…”

Di Jiu quickly interrupted Mo Sheng. “Elder Mo, let me plead for mercy on his behalf. Don’t punish him so much. Isn’t abolishing his cultivation level enough? Forget it. I know that you definitely think that he owes me and want to punish him seriously, but I really can’t bear to see that. How about this? I’ll do it ahead of time. You may not punish him anymore. This matter arose because of me, so it shall stop here.”

Upon saying that, Di Jiu raised his hand to send a blade flare toward the guarding Dao Transformation cultivator. This Dao Transformation cultivator, who had just been sent flying by Mo Sheng’s kick and had landed on the floor without reacting, felt pain rush forth in his Spiritual Sea. Then, his Spiritual Sea instantly collapsed and so did his meridians a moment later.

He looked at Mo Sheng lifelessly. He had only stopped a foreigner from entering the Mo Family’s territory, yet he had unexpectedly had his cultivation level and foundation abolished.

Mo Sheng did not respond at all. He looked at Di Jiu in a daze but heard Di Jiu say sternly, “Elder Mo, this matter shall end here. I know that your family attaches great importance to details. Since I have done what you said, tell the elder of the criminal hall not to punish him. This is embarrassing for me.”

“You…” Mo Sheng, who could finally not stand it anymore, spat out a trail of blood arrows.

Di Jiu stopped and hurriedly grabbed Mo Sheng’s shattered shoulder. Using all his strength to squeeze it, he asked anxiously, “Elder Mo, are you alright?”

Meanwhile, array flags had been set up by Di Jiu. This place was the array door, so he was certain that Mo Sheng had kicked away the guarding Dao Transformation cultivator to close the array door. Since this was an array door, he needed to make some preparations.

Unfortunately, he did not have his Five-Element Flags. Otherwise, he would not need to do so much.

This Defense Array of the Mo Family was not simple by any means and was likely a level-eight Divine Array. Once he was confined, he could only fight head-on.

Crack! A weak spatial fluctuation came. If Di Jiu had not set up so many nomological array flags around here, he would not have noticed it.

Mo Sheng had kicked away the guard to secretly close the array door. However, he had not expected that he would not be able to hide that from Di Jiu.

Upon hearing this faint sound, Di Jiu immediately realized that his guess was correct. The Mo Family’s Confinement Killing Array had been sealed. In other words, he could only fight head-on if he wanted to leave the Mo Family right from the start.

In fact, Di Jiu had not planned to talk to the Mo Family nicely ever since he had come.

The Mo Family had distorted the truth, nailed Yu Xiangbing on the square arrogantly, and burned her. Therefore, Di Jiu knew that the Mo Family was not benevolent.

Knowing that he would make a move sooner or later, Di Jiu did not care about using diplomacy before violence. He did not like to procrastinate as a person when he was doing things. Despite clearly knowing that he and the Mo Family would become enemies, he would not wait for them to make a move before he did.

A white jade-like stairway suddenly came down from the void and fell by Di Jiu and Mo Sheng’s feet. At the end of this white jade staircase, a bright voice said with a laugh, “Friend, you have come from afar. What is your name?”

In front of Mo Sheng, Di Jiu claimed to be Master Di, so Mo Sheng only knew that his surname was Di. In other words, the Mo Family had yet to know which almighty had come to visit them.

When the white jade stairway appeared and that sound was heard, a powerful Dao Integration domain aura swept over, directly enveloping Di Jiu.

Di Jiu immediately felt the strength of the opponent’s cultivation level, which was at early-stage Dao Integration. He heaved a sigh of relief deep down, hoping that Yu Xiangbing’s information was correct and the Mo Family did not have a third-step expert.

Di Jiu hit Mo Sheng again. “Rest a little. You’ve worked hard to bring me here, but I can go in by myself.”

When Di Jiu took his hand away, Mo Sheng’s face paled. Although Di Jiu had been constantly breaking his leg bones and shoulder bones, this was not a big deal. He was only insulted. When Di Jiu took away his hand, he suddenly felt that there was something in his body.

Mo Sheng subconsciously completed a Qi Circulation, but there was no problem with that. His gaze fell on the Dao Transformation cultivator in the distance, whose foundation and cultivation level had been abolished by Di Jiu, and he felt increasingly more scared.

“My name is Di Jiu, but many people call me Master Di. By the way, Second Master Jiao named me.” Di Jiu had already stepped on the white jade stairway.

Standing at the end of the white jade stairway was a yellow-faced, middle-aged cultivator in a hemp garment. Based on this person’s early-stage Dao Integration cultivation level, Di Jiu guessed that this man should be the Mo Family Head, Mo Yun, whom Yu Xiangbing had mentioned.

“Ha ha… Daoist Di is outspoken and straightforward indeed. Most people are not qualified to visit the Mo Family’s White Sand Hall.” The yellow-faced, middle-aged man laughed and did not sound arrogant at all. However, his words were full of threats.

Di Jiu was a Divine Array Emperor near the seventh level. When he walked up the white jade stairway, he realized that he had entered a level-seven Confinement Killing Divine Array.

Even if a Dao Integration cultivator was confined in a true level-seven Confinement Killing Divine Array, he would not be able to come out easily.

Indifferent, Di Jiu stood doubtfully before the yellow-faced, middle-aged man and said, “I have already reported my name. Don’t you know how to report your name?”

Amazed, Mo Yan glanced at Di Jiu. In fact, while Di Jiu had stepped on that white jade stairway, his Dao Integration domain had locked him. In addition, the surrounding Confinement Killing Divine Array could be activated at any time. Why was Di Jiu so confident?

A faint voice transmission echoed in Mo Yun’s ear. “This person is not simple. He must know that he has entered a Confinement Array. Even so, he’s still really confident, which means that he has something. Let him enter the hall and we will meet him personally.”

When Di Jiu felt the spatial fluctuation in his surroundings, he knew that someone was sending a voice transmission. The guy in front of him was at early-stage Dao Integration and might be the head of the Mo Family. Anyone who was qualified to send a voice transmission had to be another Dao Integration expert of the Mo Family, so this should be the mid-stage Dao Integration Elder.

If he was unaware there was a mid-stage Dao Integration Elder who could do anything at any time, Di Jiu might be unable to control himself and kill the Mo Family’s early-stage Dao Integration Family Head first.
