Ninth In the World

Di Jiu of the Starry Sky Tea House had broken the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City Defense Array, killed the manager of the Great Fortune Inn, Hui, and made the place his. Not only that, but he had also turned the Great Fortune Inn into the Peace Hotel. This big news spread like wildfire to the other Major Immortal Continents, let alone the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Later, a group of Immortal Emperors and Immortal Supremacy experts who were furious about his deeds joined forces to head towards the Peace Hotel. Among them were three Great Immortal Emperors from the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent.

Everyone knew that Di Jiu would die a terrible death. Actually, Di Jiu supposedly would not even have the chance to get reincarnated.

However, barely half a day later, only four members of the group who had gone in returned: Heavenly Cloud Dao Master Yue Wuliang, Starry Demon Palace Palatial Lord Xie Wanling, Eternal Moon Building owner Meng Qianqian, and Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City Lord Mi Ji.

Besides Mi Ji, the other people who came out were all seriously injured. The signboard of the Peace Hotel stood in place just like before, and many people saw Di Jiu start to set up the Defense Array of the Peace Hotel.

He was not upgrading the Array but confining all the shops around and across the original Great Fortune Inn.

How could the shops and the Great Fortune Inn differ? Besides City Lord Mi Ji, the owners of those shops still had a hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Dui Pingchuan. They also had the Tripod-Existing Elixir Dispensary and the territories of the cultivators who had gone to cause Di Jiu trouble at the Peace Hotel.

The only difference was that the remaining shops, which were confined, were not in business anymore. They were all pushing for peace and they established a huge square afterward called Peace Square.

Nobody stood up, as they saw that Di Jiu was doing this. Everyone understood that Di Jiu had been unexpectedly the winner of the conflict this time.

…

At the Elixir Association of the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, Chen Zishun was talking to Fang Feilou from the Vitrail Chamber of Commerce. Although he seemed calm on the surface, Fang Feilou could actually see the seriousness in Chen Zishun’s eyes.

Di Jiu was no doubt a gifted Alchemy Master. However, he was a registered Alchemy Master of the Elixir Association, so people were thinking about the treasures he had. The Elixir Association of the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City unexpectedly had no way of saving him, which was a slap across the face of the Elixir Association of the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City. Not many people thought anything of the Elixir Association.

However, the people who were thinking about Di Jiu were so powerful that he did not dare say anything fair.

Despite Fang Feilou’s conversation with Chen Zishun, he could understand Chen Zishun’s feelings very well. The biggest Elixir Association back then had been the Elixir Association of the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent. However, the Elixir Association of the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent had been wiped out and the remaining Elixir Associations of the Major Immortal Continents had successively declined.

The last few Elixir Associations of the Major Immortal Continents had been compressed into the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Even so, they could only defend themselves just like before. The Guild Master of the Elixir Association had gone missing, and the Elixir Association did not dare search for him on a grand scale.

This time, eight Immortal Emperor experts and more than 10 Immortal Supremacy experts went to find Di Jiu. Although Fang Feilou did not go, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Di Jiu would be killed.

He vaguely felt that Di Jiu would not be killed that easily.

“Guild Master Fang, do you think the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City is really refining elixirs for others?” Although Chen Zishun was questioning Fang Feilou, in fact, Fang Feilou knew this. He did not want to ask about this. Chen Zishun was perplexed, but he was a fourth-stage Immortal Emperor expert and the Elixir Association’s first Deputy Guild Master, so this perplexion could very well ruin his Dao.

On the surface, Fang Feilou was listening to Chen Zishun talk. However, deep down, he was still thinking about the number of Immortal Emperors who had gone to find Di Jiu.

The way he saw it, even if this news arrived, he would still need to wait a day.

Di Jiu was not weak. Regardless of whether Di Jiu or the experts who had gone to find him won, this was not something that could produce an outcome in a short time.

What surprised him was that he was not at the Elixir Association for long when the news arrived.

When Fang Feilou’s Spiritual Force landed on the communication pearl, he stood up in shock. He believed that Di Jiu would win, but he hadn’t expected that he would win so neatly.

Only four people survived, and Di Jiu released them all. Each of them had promised generous compensation to be able to survive.

Cold sweat rolled down Fang Feilou’s back. He had previously wondered over and over again whether he wanted to go along.

Now that he knew this, he realized that if he had gone over at the time, Fang Feilou would not have existed in this world anymore. He was sure that Di Jiu would spare Meng Qianqian, Xie Wanling, Yue Wuliang, and Mi Ji. However, Fang Feilou was definitely not Di Jiu’s target to spare.

He went to visit Di Jiu without delay. When the thought entered Fang Feilou’s mind, he rapidly rushed to the main entrance.

“Guild Master Fang?” Chen Zishun woke up and stood up in amazement to look at Fang Feilou.

Fang Feilou then came back to his senses. He absolutely could not visit Di Jiu now. Even if he went, he could not go alone.

He had been right to come to the Elixir Association. Not only did he leave in the right manner, but he also left feeling wise and heroic.

Fang Feilou hurriedly retreated once again and told Chen Zishun with cupped fists, “Congratulations, Guild Master Chen. Eight Immortal Emperors plus 11 Immortal Supremacies have stepped forward to find Alchemy Master Di. Even though he spared Mi Ji, Meng Qianqian, Yue Wuliang, and Xie Wanling, everyone else was killed. Alchemy Master Di has already changed the Great Fortune Inn into the Peace Hotel and declared that nothing unpeaceful is permitted within range of the Peace Hotel in the future.”

Fang Feilou was shocked as he said that.

He knew that Di Jiu was formidable, but he had never thought he would be this formidable. He suddenly thought about that expert who had used the killing aura domain to restrain him. He was afraid that even if Ye Xi came, he would not necessarily be a match for that expert.

“What?” Chen Zishun was stunned. How was that possible? He reacted very quickly. Fang Feilou would not lie on top of this, so he clenched his fists in excitement. Di Jiu was fine and he had performed well, killing 80% of the people who had gone to find him. What did this signify?

This wouldn’t do. He needed to visit Alchemy Master Di immediately. He urgently needed a person with strength like Di Jiu’s, who could stand out despite the current state of the Elixir Association.

Chen Zishun was likewise unable to deal with Fang Feilou, who wanted to rush out eagerly.

Fang Feilou said without a delay, “Guild Master Chen, let’s go together. I still owe Alchemy Master Di some immortal spirit herbs.”

“Very well, let’s go together,” Chen Zishun hastily replied.

There was only happiness in Fang Feilou’s heart. While the others were surrounding Di Jiu, he visited the Guild Master of the Elixir Association and discussed the unfair treatment of the Alchemy Master of the Elixir Association.

Both of them eagerly walked to the Great Fortune Inn, or rather, the Peace Hotel. They were startled by the scenery in front of their eyes.

There was a huge square in the front, and the streets crossed the edges of the square. As for the few shops around and across the Peace Hotel, they were all filled up as part of the square.

A huge stone pillar stood at the edge of the square with two words written on it: Peace Square.

The Defense Array around the square was already set up. A group of cultivators was talking about it on the huge square as cultivators kept coming over.

“Brother Di sure has big guts…” When Fang Feilou saw that Di Jiu had turned this precious land into a huge square, he could not help but mumble to himself and address him as ‘Brother Di’ instead of ‘Alchemy Master Di’.

His strength was an honor. This was reflected in great detail in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Only when he saw it with his own eyes did Fang Feilou believe that the news he had received had not been an exaggeration.

Chen Zishun could not help but rush over to the square, arriving immediately at the entrance of the Peace Hotel.

“Hold on, hold on…” Little Tree stepped forward to stop Chen Zishun and Fang Feilou, who was behind him. “Don’t go in yet. The Peace Hotel has not opened for business. If you want to check in, you have to wait for some time.”

Chen Zishun hurriedly said with cupped fists, “I am Chen Zishun of the Elixir Association of the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City. I want to speak to Alchemy Master Di.”

Before Little Tree could say anything, it heard Di Jiu’s voice. “So it’s Guild Master Chen. I’ve just set up the Defense Array of the Peace Hotel. Please forgive me for not paying attention.”

“Alchemy Master Di, is this Daoist Yin Wushang?” Chen Zishun looked at Yin Wushang, who was standing by Di Jiu’s side, in pleasant surprise.

Fang Feilou, who had already recognized Yin Wushang, stepped forward without any delay and greeted Yin Wushang. At the same time, he looked somewhat doubtful. Had Yin Wushang helped Di Jiu with the huge battle this time?

Yin Wushang promptly returned the greeting and told Chen Zishun, “I came to find Alchemy Emperor Di to refine a few cauldrons of elixir pills. Now that this is done, I was about to take my leave.”

“Daoist Di Jiu, you’re still an Immortal Alchemy Emperor?” Chen Zishun was stunned by Yin Wushang.

Fang Feilou, who had followed along, was equally stunned. Di Jiu was still an Alchemy Emperor?

The Four Major Immortal Continents had not produced an Immortal Alchemy Emperor in a long time. If Di Jiu was an Alchemy Emperor and Yin Wushang had helped him, there were no more doubts.

Fang Feilou knew very well that this was not the time to think about this. Thus, he hurriedly cupped a ring with both hands and handed it over to Di Jiu. “Brother Di, this is what I owe you. I was talking with Guild Master Chen not long ago, but I brought this over now since I had the time. Brother Di, please forgive me.”

“Ha ha… Well said, well said.” Di Jiu was not courteous by any means as he took Fang Feilou’s ring. Meng Qianqian was still preparing, and he was about to advance to an Immortal Alchemy Supremacy and an Immortal Alchemy Emperor. He had still been hoping to get these immortal spirit herbs.
