Chapter 492: Di Jiu’s Fury

Di Jiu opened his eyes and sat up. Given his cultivation level, he would not die no matter how they tried to kill him. Only the Poison Dao pattern could kill him. Now, he clearly had not perished because of the Poison Dao pattern, which had been stripped off rapidly by his Nomological Qi Circulation.

What was this place, though? Di Jiu scanned it with his Spiritual Force. There was a snow forest within several kilometers, and he seemed to be in a cave…

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force once again landed on the five one-horned beasts’ carcasses, which were buried in the snow outside the cave. He immediately understood. He had been saved by someone. But who was she? Why had she brought him and hidden him in this place?

He smelled a faint, delicate fragrance in the cave that was somewhat familiar…

Di Jiu very soon recalled. This was Shan Xiuqi’s fragrance, so she had to be the one who had saved him…

Di Jiu could make out briefly in his mind how Shan Xiuqi had saved him. After leaving, she could not bear to let him get killed by the Shan Family so she had returned. She had happened to see him fall to the ground outside the Shan Family’s garrison in Honor Parade City, which was normal. When Shan Xiuqi had left before, she had repeatedly persuaded him to escape but he had not wanted to waste time.

Once he thought of Shan Xiuqi, he remembered clearly in an instant. When he had been suppressed by the Poison Dao pattern and ended up in an unconscious state, he had used his remaining bit of willpower to control his Nomological Qi Circulation and fight against the Poison Dao pattern.

Suddenly, he sensed a hint of heat permeate his body…

Di Jiu touched his lips to rub them clean but the faint smell of blood lingered. He then understood why the one-horned beasts’ carcasses were outside the cave. Shan Xiuqi had hunted one-horned beasts every day and fed him their blood.

Shan Xiuqi was not aware that he would not starve to death even if he did not eat or drink in 10,000 years. However, Di Jiu was certain that the blood she had fed him had some kind of effect.

His Nomological Qi Circulation fighting against the Poison Dao pattern was no small matter, even if there were some effects that could not be seen.

Thank you… Shan Xiuqi must have gone out to hunt one-horned beasts, so Di Jiu silently thanked her.

Without Shan Xiuqi, if his body had been destroyed or his consciousness had been stripped away, it would have taken many years for him to recover. He could even enter an oblivion state for eternity.

With the help of Shan Xiuqi, he had gradually recovered and his Nomological Qi Circulation had also started to suppress the Poison Dao pattern slowly.

Di Jiu frowned. Something was not right. Even though his Nomological Qi Circulation was suppressing the Poison Dao engraving, he could not have regained his consciousness so quickly. Moreover, his current Nomological Qi Circulation was much clearer compared to the past, as if there was something unclear in his mind.

That was an interpretation of life. Because of this, his understanding of the Foundation Order was even more thorough.

That’s right. It was because he had thought of Zhen Man.

Di Jiu sighed. Zhen Man was his first love. He had clearly forgotten about her, so why did he still have such an obsession? Why had he thought of this woman when he had lost himself in his mind?

Di Jiu’s face changed completely after he recalled some things.

He and Zhen Man had once been a married couple. Di Jiu believed this should not have happened even though he had lost himself.

It seemed as if the real Zhen Man…

Di Jiu suddenly stood up. That was absolutely real. His Nomological Qi Circulation was even clearer because of it, as if he had completed something essential in his usual Dao path.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on himself and he became increasingly sure that he had done such a thing.

However, Zhen Man was definitely not on Earth, let alone in front of him, and she had certainly not done such a thing with him. Who else was there besides Shan Xiuqi?

Di Jiu slapped his forehead. He had not expected that his woman would actually be Shan Xiuqi. He had let her down as she had saved him and he had taken advantage of her.

Di Jiu sighed and thought of the women related to him, Zhen Man, who had been his first love. He thought he had forgotten her, but he still had an obsession with her deep in his memory. His last trace of obsession had been ended by Shan Xiuqi. Maybe it was because she had made him abandon such an obsession that his Nomological Qi Circulation was clearer, thus allowing him to have a better understanding of the Heaven Earth Law.

Shen Ziyu, a woman who had been related to him in his previous life. Jing Moshuang, a superwoman who had been married to him. Mo Yuxuan, a disciple of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect.

In the end, his mind was fixed on Shan Xiuqi’s delicate features. He had never thought she would be his wife.

Di Jiu let out a long sigh and decided to take Shan Xiuqi away unless she was unwilling to leave with him. If she was willing, he would take her and leave.

Fate was such a wonderful thing. He inadvertently had met a woman he was unable to part with. Love was also a luxury to him. Ever since he had cut off that hint of ignorance with his first love, he had never thought of love again, let alone of falling in love with a woman.

Even though he had never fallen in love, Shan Xiuqi had helped him cut off that small obsession with Zhen Man, which he had not realized was there. Thank you, Shan Xiuqi.

Once he made up his mind, Di Jiu did not think of anything else. Shan Xiuqi had gone out to hunt a one-horned beast, and her body was certainly weak after experiencing such a thing just moments ago.

At the thought of this, Di Jiu hurriedly shifted the piece of rock and rushed out of the cave.

He used his Spiritual Force, but there was no sight of Shan Xiuqi.

Di Jiu frowned, as he had a clearer understanding of the Heaven Earth Law. His Poison Dao pattern had been stripped away, and his Spiritual Force was improving each moment.

The current strength of his Spiritual Force covered 5 kilometers, yet there was no sight of Shan Xiuqi.

Shan Xiuqi would not have gone far, but Di Jiu was unable to stay and wait for her anymore. Every movement within his Spiritual Force range was caught without exception.

Very soon, Di Jiu saw some messy footsteps.

He determined that a pair of footsteps stopped under the pine cone tree and started escaping quickly in another direction. The other two trails chased after her.

The person in front had not gone far before the others had caught up. They had entered a battle afterward. Di Jiu arrived at the battle area and his Spiritual Force found some traces of blood on the snowy ground.

He froze. Shan Xiuqi was most likely the one who had been injured and taken away.

Di Jiu followed the footsteps and arrived in Honor Parade City.

…

A few days ago, in the Shan Family’s garrison in Honor Parade City, Di Jiu had killed and turned this place upside down. However, another group of people was there now.

The only difference was the eagle-eyed old man sitting on the highest seat this time. A young lady with disheveled hair knelt down in the middle of the hall. She was Shan Xiuqi.

Shan Xiuqi’s disguise medication had already been washed away and had revealed an astonishing, beautiful complexion. However, her eyes were filled with fear and her face was pale.

“Although you are an illegitimate child, the Shan Family raised you. Not only did you not return the favor, but you also ran out and joined forces with our enemy to kill our younger generation. I’ll give you three seconds to tell me, where did Di Jiu go? If you don’t answer, I’ll strip you naked and throw you in the Adventurers’ Bar,” the old man said calmly while revealing a killing intent in his tone and sending cold shivers all over Shan Xiuqi.

The Adventurers’ Bar was a place where fugitives drank. Ever since a large group of demon beasts and ferocious beasts had appeared on Earth, a few brave people had started to enter the ferocious beast district to take the risk. They were lucky if they lived another day, so most of the money was used for the Adventurers’ Bar.

Besides providing drinking entertainment, the Adventurers’ Bar also provided all kinds of women. Some were willing, and some were forced into it. These adventurers did not take their lives seriously. How could they take the lives of the women who provided them with entertainment seriously?

Thus, if the women who went there were forced, they would not stand a chance to make it out alive. Each woman died a terrible death.

“Say it!” a man in gray said before the long whip in his hands hit her back. Blood flowed through her thin clothes and splattered.

Shan Xiuqi turned pale and shook her head. “Di Jiu and I are only strangers who met by chance. I don’t know where he went.”

“Wrench! Hit her! Whip her clothes off and send her directly to the Adventurers’ Bar afterward!” the old man bellowed.

The long whip in the hands of the man in gray once again hit Shan Xiuqi. This time, it whipped the back of her head and immediately rendered her unconscious. The long whip produced blood and some pieces of cloth.

The man in gray clearly did not stop even though Shan Xiuqi had fallen unconscious. His long whip once again hit her.

It was clear that he was going to hit Shan Xiuqi’s clothes away.

However, he suddenly lost his strength after his second lash landed. The man in gray, who was immediately startled, looked at his arms. They were fractured from his shoulder as he fell to the ground.

Fresh blood frantically poured out after he realized this.

“True Qi blade flare…” The eagle-eyed old man who sat on the highest seat was the first to react. He spoke in shock as he glared at the indignant Di Jiu, who had appeared at the entrance.

The True Qi blade flare was considered possible only when the Semi-Core Realm was attained, but even he could not do that.
