Chapter 174: Blood-Trail To The Qi Family’s Commercial Building

More and more people from the Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent gathered.

However, there were no spirit meridians or Spirit Stones to seize now. Thanks to the word of mouth, everyone knew what Di Jiu was doing.

Some cultivators left, but the majority chose to stay.

Several days later, the ground started vibrating and a deep cracking sound was heard.

Di Jiu let out a sigh of relief. The two continents had finally merged together. Even though he had played an insignificant role himself, he still felt satisfied.

The merging of the Night Star Continent had made him feel something, yet his cultivation level was too low, so he was unable to tell exactly what it was.

Just as he was about to put away the two Defense Array discs, Di Jiu discovered that they had dispersed on their own by transforming into two Dharma treasures and integrating themselves into the ground.

Di Jiu believed that this was the repairing imprint left behind by his Master. Thus, he did nothing about it.

“Thank you for repairing the Night Star Continent, sir.” Not everyone was that insensible. The Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent had just merged, so everyone understood that this would only bring about benefits.

When one person took the lead, even more people cupped their fists before Di Jiu and expressed their gratitude.

Di Jiu nodded his head. He had indeed helped out plenty in this matter, so it was natural that people would thank him.

His gaze landed on a purple-robed man from the Half-Screen Continent. The third-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator, who sensed Di Jiu’s gaze, cupped his fists carelessly and said, “Repairing the Night Star Continent was indeed very beneficial. However, this Daoist killed more than 1,000 people in one go.”

Di Jiu laughed. “Not everyone can become what I have. I heard what you just said. I’m Daoist Di Jiu. To be honest, I rarely do any good deeds. However, now that I have, you are over-analyzing things. I invite the Wander Sunset Sect to find me and take revenge. You will naturally only get one chance. If you lose this opportunity, there will no longer be a Wander Sunset Sect in the Night Star Continent. Now, you can scram.”

The Essence Soul Realm cultivator did not dare to incur Di Jiu’s wrath any further. If Di Jiu could repair the continent, his strength had to be sufficient to exterminate the Wander Sunset Sect. Besides, he was unable to determine Di Jiu’s cultivation level.

“Di Jiu? I recognize him! He belongs to the Galaxy Sect!”

“No wonder he looked a little familiar to me. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Sect offended the Qi Family’s Commercial Building and was exterminated by the Qi Family. No one was left unharmed.”

“The Galaxy Sect was exterminated by the Qi Family’s Commercial Building?” Di Jiu took one step and reached the Golden Core Realm Cultivator who had spoken. He sounded murderous.

When he sensed Di Jiu’s overpowering killing intent, the Golden Core Realm Cultivator shuddered unconsciously. Then, he said hastily with respect, “That’s right, sir. After the experts of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building searched through the ancient ruins, they gained two more Void Spirit Realm Experts. One of them is Qi Chenxiang, Elder Qi Zhishang’s uncle. When he heard this news, he immediately headed over to the Galaxy Sect…”

The Golden Core Realm Cultivator dared not say anything else. Di Jiu was an outer sect disciple of the Galaxy Sect, so according to cultivation standards, he was two times his junior. However, as he faced Di Jiu, he could only call him sir.

“I’m going to the Qi Family’s Commercial Building!” Di Jiu said coldly before leaving instantly.

He had originally intended to uproot the Qi Family’s Commercial Building, but now he decided to leave no member of the Qi Family alive. There was no point in the existence of such an abominable family in the Polar Night Continent. Within him flowed the blood of the violent Di Family. He might have obtained some memories from his previous life, but thanks to his experiences during these past few years, he had changed a lot. However, the violent blood flowing within him would not fade anytime soon.

“The Qi Family’s Commercial Building is done for.” Someone chuckled as they watched Di Jiu’s disappearing figure.

The cultivators madly rushing over to the Sky Market City lessened as the news spread. After the merging of the two continents, no war occurred. This was because someone had repaired the continents, and the Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent had merged.

The news of this incident and the completion of the Night Star Continent alerted the various sects and families.

The Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the Sky Market City also heard this news and immediately sent a message out, stating that the completion of the Night Star Continent would offer numerous business opportunities. The Qi Family’s Commercial Building had only been powerful within the Polar Night Continent before. However, thanks to the merged continents, the Qi Family could now head over to the Half-Screen Continent and open up branches there.

Di Jiu was already standing in front of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the Sky Market City. The majestic aura of this building was no weaker than that of the branch in the North Ridge City.

The only difference was that there were not many cultivating cave abodes here.

Di Jiu lifted his hand, took out the Heavenly Aqua Saber and slashed out.

Crack! Several blue mist saber flares swept out. The Level-Five Defense Array of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building was torn apart like paper by this saber move without any resistance.

“Who dared attack the Defense Array of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building?” a furious voice yelled. More than a dozen figures rushed out from deep inside the Qi Family’s Commercial Building.

“Any cultivators that do not work for the Qi Family have 10 seconds to leave this building,” Di Jiu said coldly. “Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed. There will be no exceptions.”

“It’s Di Jiu! The man who destroyed several branches of the Qi Family’s Commercial Buildings!” said someone who recognized Di Jiu from afar immediately.

The news that Di Jiu had repaired the Night Star Continent had yet to spread. When they heard that Di Jiu wanted to destroy the Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the Sky Market City, throngs of cultivators rushed over to watch the spectacle. Perhaps they would even gain some benefits from it. The majority wanted to see how Di Jiu would actually resist the Qi Family’s forces.

“He he… This fella must be suicidal if he wants to actually target the Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the Sky Market City.” A cultivator who had visited the Qi Family’s Commercial Building to check on some Dharma treasures shook his head after hearing Di Jiu’s words. He had no intention of leaving.

Unlike other people, he knew what was going on in this building. A ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm expert had just arrived at the Qi Family’s Commercial Building a few days ago. Along with the original fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators and second-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators working at the building, the Qi Family currently had three Essence Soul Realm cultivators at its disposal. Was Di Jiu that brave or just ignorant?

When they heard what this cultivator said, several people who had originally wanted to leave stopped in their tracks and asked doubtfully, “Why do you say that, Brother Pan? I’ve heard that the main branch of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the northern province had to be rebuilt because of this fella.”

They were at the Qi Family’s Commercial Building, so they had to speak discreetly.

Before this cultivator could reply, a shop assistant sneered, “The Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the North Ridge City was attacked because a late-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator had been secretly helping out. Plus, the experts of my branch were not around at the time. The strongest person at the North Ridge City branch was only an eighth-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator. My branch has been looking for this suicidal kid. Everyone can now watch this Di fella die!”

When they heard these words, the majority of the cultivators did not move. Only a few people left the commercial building.

Di Jiu did not care whether these cultivators moved or not. When the 10 seconds were up, the Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a ray of blue mist and slashed at the leading ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator.

So what if he was at the ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm? Although Di Jiu was currently at the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm, he was much stronger than when he had been in the Sky Screen.

When he executed the Wind-Rustling Move, violent, unyielding saber flares shot out and landed on the dozens of cultivators who had rushed over. Meanwhile, numerous saber ripple whirlpools exploded and several blood fountains erupted. The Golden Core Realm Cultivators getting attacked by this saber intent had no means of resisting. Even the second-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator was sliced in two by the saber flare.

However, this was not the end. A saber ripple whirlpool rushed into the Qi Family’s Commercial Building. Every person in the building who encountered this saber ripple was killed without exception.

The expression of the cultivator who had mocked Di Jiu earlier changed when he sensed this saber ripple coming over. Although he immediately tried to dodge it, the saber intent of Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move was no longer scattered. Despite dodging, the cultivator failed to escape the saber intent and was eventually pulverized.

“You must have a death wish!” After dodging the saber ripple whirlpool of Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move, the ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator of the Qi Family attacked Di Jiu with a metal pagoda.

Qi Zhiyi, who had also obtained a Void Lattice Elixir, was disappointed that he was still stuck at the ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm, half-way to the Void Spirit Realm. Meanwhile, both Qi Chenxiang and Qi Qi had entered the Void Spirit Realm as soon as they had obtained the Void Lattice Elixir.

His mood had already been very poor when he had come to the Sky Market City before reaching the Void Spirit Realm. Therefore, now that Di Jiu had actually dared appear in front of them and tried to destroy the Qi Family’s Defense Array, he was livid.

The metal pagoda expanded to the size of a small mountain and slammed into Di Jiu. The space rapidly became oppressive, while their surroundings seemed to be confined by this violent energy. Di Jiu was unable to escape.

If this had occurred before he had comprehended the meaning of intent, he could have only faced this metal pagoda head-on or used the Gathering Peaks Move to block it.

Now, however, he could easily find the loophole in Qi Zhiyi’s attack. This oppressive attack was a good way to deal with average cultivators, yet it was insufficient to deal with Di Jiu.

When Di Jiu stepped forward, a crack appeared within this confined space. With one step, Di Jiu stepped out of the crack.

Before Qi Zhiyi’s metal pagoda could land completely, Di Jiu had already punched out, using his Gathering Peaks and Furious Waves Moves. Multiple fist winds and mountains immediately engulfed Qi Zhiyi.

Qi Zhiyi was shocked. He had no idea how Di Jiu had managed to escape from the spatial aura of the metal pagoda. As he faced Di Jiu’s continuous fist mountains, he could only spit out blood. With great difficulty, he put away the metal pagoda and then threw it out again.

Di Jiu completely ignored what Qi Zhiyi was doing and punched out again. Fist winds engulfed the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator, who had just taken out his Dharma treasure.

Compared to Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence and Spiritual Force, the reflexes of the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator were simply too slow.

Bam! The first fist ripple tore open the defense of the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator, who could barely use his Dharma treasure to block it. However, the second fist ripple completely engulfed him. The spectating cultivators could only watch as blood exploded from his body.
