Chapter 686: A Quick Repayment of the Debt

Chapter 686: A Quick Repayment of the Debt

Everyone looked at Di Jiu. He could pinch Xiang Mu to death, but no matter how strong his true strength was, no one dared to say a word. In this world, having great strength was honored.

Di Jiu nodded and muttered slightly, “Since you and old bark want to snatch what my friend bought at the auction, I won’t make things difficult for you. Take out what you bought at the auction. Of course, if you didn’t buy anything, we’ll end this here.”

Ji Lie heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to speak, but Di Jiu added, “No matter how much you bought at the auction, I’ll only choose one thing, provided that you take out everything you bought for me to see.”

Ji Lie’s expression changed. He suspected that Di Jiu had come especially for his Luminous Core. Even the other cultivators were somewhat aware of that.

Tang Xitan looked at Di Jiu in doubt. Theoretically, Di Jiu did not know that Ji Lie had the Luminous Core and should not know anyone here. She had not told him that Ji Lie had the Luminous Core. How did Di Jiu know?

Ji Lie took a breath. He was ready to fight with Di Jiu. A treasure like the Luminous Core could not be sought after. He had finally managed to obtain one Luminous Core after so much difficulty, so it was impossible to give it to Di Jiu. Its value aside, he would be losing face if he gave it to Di Jiu.

“Daoist Di, I do suspect that you came for my Luminous Core. First, I’m not the one who asked your friend for the Nirvana Tree fragment. That was Xiang Mu, who was killed by you. Second, even though Xiang Mu asked your friend for it, he did not do so forcefully. He even took something out to exchange it for it. If you want to snatch my Luminous Core by force, even if the Devil Clan fights until the last man standing, I’ll definitely not give it to you.

What Daoist Ao Kui mentioned applies to me as well. Although the Devil Clan is weak, they will not be bullied. Plus, there are still third-step experts in my clan.”

Ji Lie’s words carried a powerful aura. It seemed that as long as Di Jiu snatched his Luminous Core, everyone would experience a life-and-death struggle. He had also mentioned that he was not alone. The entire Devil Clan was with him.

Many cultivators secretly thought deep down that this was indeed retribution. Not long ago, Ji Lie and Xiang Mu had still been suppressing Tang Beiwei of the Human Clan and asking her to hand over the Nirvana Tree fragment. Now, it was time for the experts of the Human Clan to suppress the Devil Clan’s Ji Lie and ask him to hand over the Luminous Core.

Sure enough, it would be better to lay low. Who knew what would happen a moment later?

Di Jiu chuckled. “So you mean to say that only the Devil Clan can suppress the Human Clan by force to snatch something? I’m not as shameless as your clan. I never snatch other people’s things. I exchange things for them instead. Today, I set my eyes on your Luminous Core. You have to give it to me.”

Di Jiu sounded arrogant and overbearing. Everyone found this a little familiar upon hearing it. Wasn’t this what the Heavenly Purification Clan’s Xiang Mu had told the Human Clan’s Tang Beiwei not long ago? How long had it been? This was now repeated by someone.

Even a few cultivators subconsciously glanced at the entrance of the inner Defense Array. After Xiang Mu had said that, the expert of the Human Clan had come to kill him. Therefore, now that Di Jiu had said that, would anyone step forward to make a move on him?

Obviously, no one would come. Ji Lie was enraged. Not only did he not have any odds of beating Di Jiu, but he did not even have a chance of surviving.

Di Jiu stood by the exit of the array door, evidently blocking his way of escaping.

Ji Lie tried his best to calm down his anger and slowly said, “Take out your items to exchange them for my Luminous Core. If I don’t think your items can match it, everyone will judge for themselves. I, Ji Lie, have lived to this day and have met every kind of person, so I am not afraid.”

Di Jiu raised his hand and grabbed three items that were suspended in the void. He then explained calmly, “From left to right, the first one is a bottle of Chaos Qi. This is heaven-opening Chaos Qi…”

Everyone took a gasp of cold air. They had thought that Di Jiu was going to leave without paying and wanted to forcibly steal Ji Lie’s Luminous Core. That was why he would take anything out. However, they had not expected that the first item Di Jiu took out would be the Chaos Qi. To be honest, the Chaos Qi could make the top three, or even the top one, of this auction.

The Chaos Qi and Luminous Core depended on one’s needs. If one needed the Chaos Qi, the value of the Luminous Core would not be much. It was simply impressive of Di Jiu to take out the Chaos Qi first.

Even Ji Lie’s breathing turned heavy from excitement. With the Chaos Qi, he could very likely reach the half-step Dao Integration.

Compared to the Luminous Core, the Chaos Qi was more useful to him. At first, he had prepared to be at a disadvantage when Di Jiu had started taking out his items for the exchange. He was sure that as long as he did not agree, Di Jiu would absolutely make a move. He really did not want to do that with such a lunatic here, or when his clan’s life was on the line.

Di Jiu went on. “The second offer is two earth-element nomological fragments. The third is a heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal…”

If Di Jiu had not been so powerful, someone would have come over to snatch them. Di Jiu’s items were simply too precious and there were many good things.

Even the Primordial Chaos cultivators there were shocked.

Fan Yuan sighed. Indeed, he had guessed correctly. Guang Mingzi had really been killed by Di Jiu. Furthermore, Di Jiu’s Origin crystal very likely possessed the Five Elements. This cultivator’s luck was heaven-defying to the extreme. The items he had made everyone’s scalps feel numb.

When Tang Xitan also saw Di Jiu take out the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal, she knew that, besides Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia, Guang Mingzi had also been killed by Di Jiu. She heaved a sigh of relief, as it seemed that Wu Luo had been killed by Di Jiu as well.

Ji Lie’s anger subsided. If there was no threat, now that Di Jiu had taken out these items, he would make the exchange. The most crucial point was whether he should take the Chaos Qi or two earth-element nomological fragments. Theoretically speaking, two earth-element nomological fragments were far less valuable than the Chaos Qi. However, he had an earth-element Spirit Root, so the two earth-element nomological fragments were extremely useful to him.

“Hurry up and take your pick. I don’t have much patience.” After waiting for a while without getting a response, Di Jiu grew somewhat impatient.

“I want the Chaos Qi.” Ji Lie eventually chose the Chaos Qi. He still had a chance to obtain earth-element nomological fragments, but the Chaos Qi was hard to obtain. He had to obtain it first.

Di Jiu didn’t hesitate at all. He gave Ji Lie the Chaos Qi, not afraid that he would not give him the Luminous Core.

Ji Lie grabbed the jade bottle of Chaos Qi and scanned it with his Spiritual Force. Immediately, he put it away excitedly. At the same time, he threw the Luminous Core to Di Jiu.

No matter how bold he was, he did not dare snatch away Di Jiu’s Chaos Qi.

Di Jiu was ecstatic to possess the Luminous Core. This was different from other things. This Luminous Core was enough to allow his Dao fire to transcend to the sacred flame level. This was a qualitative change, so no other materials could replace it.

“Daoist Di, the two earth-element nomological fragments are useful to me. Will you…”

Without waiting for Ji Lie to finish speaking, Di Jiu interrupted him without hesitation. “If you take out another Luminous Core, yes. Otherwise, don’t talk nonsense.”

Then, Di Jiu cupped his fists before Ao Kui. “Clan Leader Ao, I was disrespectful today. I’ll apologize another day. I’ll take my leave now.”

It was a lie that he would be apologizing another day. He said this just for the sake of showing him respect. Today, he had gained great benefits and unexpectedly obtained a Luminous Core.

Ao Kui wanted to make Di Jiu stay and discuss the forthcoming external enemies of the Great Beginning Realm. However, at the thought of Di Jiu’s nature, he forcibly held his words back and cupped his fists. “Daoist Di, you speak too seriously.”

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Tang Xitan. “Daoist Tang, let Daoist Di know about our conference today. In the future, we might rely on his strength.”

He believed that Tang Xitan would tell Di Jiu about it and that Di Jiu would help. This matter involved the Human Clan as well. Furthermore, the Human Clan’s Sacred Dao World occupied the biggest chunk of the realm.
