Chapter 488: Lead the Way

Chapter 488: Lead the Way

Nong Xiuqi held a scimitar tightly in her hands near the window. She had already invaded the hotel’s surveillance. She clearly saw someone who had obviously come to capture her and had leaped up from behind the hotel.

Besides hiding beside the window and attacking suddenly, she had no other way of handling this. She would be courting death if she ran out.

At the moment, she already regretted leaving Di Jiu behind. She was not helping him, but harming him.

…

Di Jiu sighed and his Spiritual Force easily set up a nomological fireball. A moment later, the man in gray threw himself at the window in front of Nong Xiuqi and a fireball bound him and turned him into dust without even giving him the chance to snort.

Nong Xiuqi had helped him after all, so he ought to help her back.

After killing the man in gray, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed outside the hotel and indeed sensed the presence of another man in gray.

Di Jiu just threw a nomological fireball over and the man in gray was also turned into dust.

Di Jiu got rid of the two men in gray and once again performed the Nomological Qi Circulation, which expelled the Poison Dao pattern.

Di Jiu very soon realized that his Spiritual Force was gradually strengthening and his Immortal Essence was slowly recovering. At the same time, the suppression of the Heaven Earth Law also grew stronger and stronger but dissipated along with his Nomological Qi Circulation.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Someone knocked on Di Jiu’s door and woke him up from his deep seclusion. When his Spiritual Force landed on Nong Xiuqi at the door, he felt helpless.

He did not have any money to stay in the hotel, so he could only let her disturb him.

Di Jiu opened the door and asked Nong Xiuqi, who was standing there, “Is anything the matter?”

Nong Xiuqi looked at Di Jiu speechlessly. It was time to check out, yet Di Jiu had asked her what was the matter.

“It’s time to check out. We are leaving,” Nong Xiuqi said helplessly.

Di Jiu was going through a crucial moment of recovery, so it was indeed much safer inside. He did not want to leave at all. “I still have injuries and would like to continue staying here for a few days. Can you lend me some money?”

Di Jiu suddenly thought of his Spirit Stone. Now that his Spiritual Force could stretch out, he could take out a piece of Spirit Stone from the Quintessential World and give it to Nong Xiuqi.

Nong Xiuqi cultivated ancient martial arts, so the Spirit Stone would be useful to her.

She hesitated before saying, “Sorry…”

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “This is fine, I’ll think of another way.”

“I’m not saying that I don’t have any money to lend you. I can lend you the money. I apologize because I might have implicated you,” Nong Xiuqi hurriedly explained.

Yesterday, she had waited for a long time beside the window but had not seen the person who wanted to capture her leap in. She had checked the surveillance afterward and seen nothing else besides a strong flash of light.

Regardless of whether the person yesterday had come to capture her or not, she knew that she could not stay here for long.

She had been discovered and she stayed in the same room as Di Jiu. It would be strange if nobody came to cause him trouble.

“Don’t worry. I’m just a passerby…”

As Di Jiu was thinking about taking out a piece of Spirit Stone to give it to Nong Xiuqi, she suddenly took out a bank card and handed it to him. “There is around 30,000 inside this card, and the password is 8812. You don’t have to return it to me. You have to be careful when you withdraw money since the members of my family are somewhat terrible…”

“Thank you.” Di Jiu did not hold back. He had helped her out of a disaster yesterday so he ought to take this money.

Nong Xiuqi saw Di Jiu accept her bank card and did not mind what she’d said. She could only say, “You really need to be careful. My previous name was fake. My real name is Shan Xiuqi. I am a member of the Shan Family…”

She observed Di Jiu’s face as she said that. When she realized that his expression did not change, she asked in surprise, “You’re not afraid of the Shan Family?”

“Why should I be afraid of them if I don’t provoke them?” Di Jiu chuckled. He only hoped that Shan Xiuqi would leave early and stop wasting his time.

Shan Xiuqi could tell. Di Jiu had indeed never heard of the Shan Family before, so she was somewhat doubtful. She did not believe that anybody on Earth had not heard of her family before.

Even a top expert who had already exceeded the Connate and Senior Shen Ziyu, who had broken through to the Semi-Core Realm, had the utmost respect for the Shan Family.

“They will not reason with you. You might very likely be killed by them here.” Shan Xiuqi once again tried to persuade him. If the Shan Family could reason, then why would she need to hide all over the place after escaping?

Di Jiu laughed. “Although I don’t want to die, if I really die, it’s fine. Life and death are ruled by fate, and riches and honor are located in heaven.”

“Are you married?” Shan Xiuqi did not continue persuading Di Jiu and did not have any time to persuade him. She had to leave Honor Parade City as soon as possible. She had hidden here for almost a year and was once again somewhat reluctant to leave. However, she had to.

Di Jiu thought about his past. Even though he did not love anyone, he was considered married. “I married someone but I later divorced her.”

“If you have to get married in the future and you are still alive, I’ll come to find you. You’re the first person I met who is not afraid of the Shan Family,” Shan Xiuqi said and took a photograph out of her pocket to show Di Jiu. “This is what I look like. I hope we will meet again in the future.”

Shan Xiuqi turned to leave after saying that.

“You have to take care. If you need my help, you can find me at Wang Chuan Temple on the Forgetful River Mountain Range…” Di Jiu casually replied.

She stopped in her tracks subconsciously. Ever since she was born, nobody had ever told her to take care or to find them if she needed help.

She very soon pushed that thought aside and sped up out of the hotel. She would not go to Wang Chuan Temple to find Di Jiu, as she knew that he had no future. She had harmed him but she could not take him away by force. She turned back to take a look at Di Jiu’s room before sighing and rapidly rushing out of Honor Parade City.

Di Jiu looked at the photograph in his hands. A delicate, outstanding person appeared in front of him. She was such a beautiful woman. Shan Xiuqi cultivated ancient martial arts and probably would be somewhat more delicate than Ai Qingbing.

Di Jiu liked the kind of beauty that carried the aura of life. Many female cultivators were beautiful but lacked fireworks.

He put away the photograph and once again entered deep seclusion.

Bam! Bam! Bam! There was another knock on Di Jiu’s door. His Spiritual Force scanned the door, where a strong young man stood with anxiety in his eyes.

Di Jiu frowned. What was going on again? Could he even continue to stay in seclusion?

Di Jiu shook his head. It looked like it would be better if he went to the Forgetful River Mountain Range. He had some Spiritual Force now, and it should not take him long to get there. He would set up a Defense Array and strip off the Poison Dao pattern while refining the Reincarnation Bridge. Nobody would disturb him.

“Who are you looking for?” Di Jiu opened the door with an impatient tone.

“Are you Di Jiu?” the young man hurriedly asked, not minding his tone.

Di Jiu nodded. “That’s right, I’m Di Jiu.”

The young man told him anxiously, “Yuelan has been captured. Before that happened, she told me to find you quickly and tell you to flee immediately. Otherwise, those people will find this place very soon and take you away.”

“Fei Yuelan was captured? Why?” Di Jiu, who did not understand, asked.

“I’m not sure either. I’ll leave now. I have to think of a way to save Yuelan…” The young man went away in a hurry after saying that.

Di Jiu was not in the mood anymore to stay in seclusion and strip away the Poison Dao patterns. Fei Yuelan had been captured, so there were two possibilities. One, this was her own issue. Fei Yuelan had previously killed someone in Honor Parade City, so it was very likely that she had been arrested because of this.

Two, this was because of him. Shan Xiuqi had clearly run away from her family. Now that he had stayed with her, even Shan Xiuqi herself had said that her family might cause him trouble. If this was really the case, the Shan Family would find out that Fei Yuelan was the one who had brought him here and take their anger out on her.

Theoretically, the Shan Family should have captured him before capturing her…

Di Jiu had just thought of this when two people in gray kicked open his door.

If he’d still had the energy to set up a Defense Array and the two of them had dared to kick his door down, they would have already been killed thoroughly by his Strangulation Array.

“Come with us.” One of the men in gray stared at Di Jiu, his tone sounding somewhat cold.

“Were you the ones who captured Fei Yuelan?” Di Jiu asked.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t be asking. It’s not something you should know. You just have to follow us without any delay. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to speak anymore.” Another man in gray snorted.

Di Jiu immediately threw out a fireball that instantly turned into a ball of dust and vanished into thin air.

“You…” Another man in gray finally understood. It turned out that the two of them had gone missing previously because of his fireball.

If he had the strength to throw a fireball out and kill a Black Tier peak expert instantly, he was probably stronger than Senior Shen.

“Talk some more and I will continue throwing a fireball at you. You just have to answer my question: Did you guys capture Fei Yuelan?” Di Jiu’s tone did not seem that polite.

He had been interrupted from recovering his injuries a few times and his door had also been kicked open. Di Jiu was already unhappy, yet now that Fei Yuelan had been captured because of him, it was very remarkable that he could still control his rage.

“I don’t know. I’m only here to capture someone…” The voice of the remaining man in gray was somewhat trembling. He was not afraid of doing his utmost, but against such a terrifying fireball, what right did he have?

“Please lead the way then.” Di Jiu did not speak any nonsense. How much time did he have on his hands? Unfortunately, he now had to waste his time on this useless matter.
