Ninth In the World

Chapter 527: News on Geng Ji

At that moment, the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was definitely the most peaceful immortal city in this void compared to last time. Nobody dared to monopolize the market or kill in this city.

This was due to the presence of the Peace Hotel in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. The most important factor was the Peace Hotel’s owner, Di Jiu, who was not someone to be easily provoked.

Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s City Lord Mi Ji was happy and not distressed by Di Jiu.

One could say that he’d landed in heaven. Besides the Square Immortal Continent, which had already entered the sunset state, he would accompany whoever came in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City like a grandson. The disciples of the slightly larger sects ran rampant in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and he did not dare speak up. Instead, he even had to follow them and laugh.

Besides Di Jiu and the Peace Hotel behind him, who dared to run rampant and court death in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City?

Those who came to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to court death were already dead because Di Jiu would not allow them to live. Even the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent’s top sect and the Brilliant Lake Palace’s Ye Xi could only be reincarnated in front of Di Jiu. Actually, that was not right. He had not even had the chance to get reincarnated.

Although Mi Ji had not seen this before, simply too many people had seen it.

Plus, Di Jiu was not giving instructions in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. His Peace Hotel business was even managed in an upright and honest way.

Thus, Mi Ji could now be considered the true City Lord of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and not the puppet that anyone could berate before.

Mi Ji was even more careful upon hearing that Di Jiu would return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City soon. He wanted Di Jiu to see that he was doing his job as the City Lord well.

...

When Di Jiu arrived outside the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, he was very satisfied with Mi Ji’s management.

Everything was neat and tidy inside and outside the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. The Defense Array and Confinement Killing Array he had set up were also not activated, which meant that the city had been safe ever since he’d left.

“Alchemy Emperor Di...” Once Di Jiu reached the entrance of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, Mi Ji, who was always waiting here, welcomed him.

“City Lord Mi, it’s been hard on you to maintain the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City all these years.” Di Jiu cupped his fists respectfully.

Mi Ji hurriedly replied, “Alchemy Emperor Di set up a strong Defense Array here. I only needed to guard it. It was not hard at all.”

“Big Brother...” Little Tree, Black Fire, Zhangsun Huang, and the others hurriedly rushed over. Di Jiu did not see Chi Yuanqing, but his daughter Chi Xun’er welcomed him.

Black Fire’s aptitude was indeed not bad. In a short time, Black Fire had become a level-nine immortal demon beast and his cultivation level had also stabilized. Black Fire had a gift for ripping apart the Void Realm. There was almost no threat to him in this Immortal Protectorate.

Once Di Jiu saw Chi Xun’er’s expression, he knew she was deep in thought.

“Xun’er, what are you thinking? Your father is not in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City?” Di Jiu asked doubtfully. The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array and the restriction array inside had both been set up by him. He had realized that Chi Yuanqing was not here the moment he’d arrived.

Chi Xun’er wanted to say something, but Little Tree spoke up first, “Big Brother, Second Brother Geng Ji came to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City 30 years ago...”

“Geng Ji is here? Where is he?” Di Jiu was overjoyed upon hearing that.

Little Tree sighed. “Geng Ji’s cultivation level is high, but...”

“Get to the main point.” Di Jiu did not want to listen to Little Tree’s long-winded words.

Little Tree promptly replied, “Here’s the thing. After Geng Ji returned and found out about Big Brother’s mighty deeds in this Immortal Protectorate, he was very happy and excited. He also told us where he had gone, but I didn’t expect him to mention Chi Zhengshan...”

Chi Zhengshan? Di Jiu immediately recalled and asked as he looked at Chi Xun’er, “He’s your grandfather?”

Chi Xun’er rubbed her eyes and acknowledged this. “Yes, he’s my grandfather. Martial Uncle Geng said that my grandfather was enslaved by someone, so my father had to go over when he heard that...”

Given Geng Ji’s nature, he would definitely accompany Chi Yuanqing over there.

No matter how high Chi Yuanqing’s cultivation level was, he could only have attained the Immortal Supremacy Realm at most during all these years. Geng Ji’s aptitude was impressive indeed, but he would not be any stronger than Chi Yuanqing. So what if Geng Ji and Chi Yuanqing were Immortal Supremacies? If an old Immortal Supremacy like Chi Zhengshan was enslaved, what could Geng Ji and Chi Yuanqing do by going over?

“Where did they go?” Di Jiu frowned as he asked.

Little Tree hurriedly replied, “I heard Big Brother Geng Ji say that he came from the Square Immortal Continent, but I don’t know which specific place he meant.”

“He did not leave the locale ball behind?”

Little Tree promptly took out the locale ball and handed it to Di Jiu. “This is what Geng Ji left behind. He also mentioned that this place was in the Square Immortal Continent. I don’t know where in the Square Immortal Continent exactly.”

When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned it, the locale ball was very clear. Just like Little Tree had said, he did not know the exact location of this locale ball, nor did he know where in the Square Immortal Continent it was.

“Senior Di...” Chi Xun’er bowed before Di Jiu anxiously.

Di Jiu knew what Chi Xun’er wanted to say, so he gestured with his hands. “You don’t have to worry. I will certainly go and search for Geng Ji and your father. You stay in the Peace Hotel and cultivate at ease.”

Di Jiu glanced at Mi Ji, who was by his side. “City Lord Mi, when I’m not around, you’ll still have to take care of the Peace Hotel.”

Mi Ji hurriedly replied, “Alchemy Emperor Di, don’t worry. I will do as you have instructed and work hard to do my best.”

Di Jiu let Xiangnu, who was always cultivating in the Quintessential World, out. “Xiangnu, I actually planned to accompany you in the Gigantic Tripod for some time before leaving, but I have to go. You stay here and work hard to cultivate with Big Brother Black Fire, Little Tree, and Chi Xun’er to attain the Immortal Emperor Realm soon. You have to remember when you head out to put yourself to the test. You are not allowed to go to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb.”

Di Jiu practically told everyone that they were not allowed to go to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb.

“Grandfather...” Xiangnu looked at the unfamiliar void immortal city and the strangers in front of her eyes, looking somewhat worried.

Upon hearing that, everyone turned their attention to Di Jiu and Di Xiangnu. Di Jiu explained, “This is my granddaughter, Di Xiangnu. I found her when I went out this time and brought her here.”

Before Black Fire could speak, Little Tree hurriedly took a step forward, patting his chest as he said, “Younger Sister Xiangnu, don’t worry. Stay in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and cultivate. Nobody will dare bully you. Everyone listens to me in the entire Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.”

Black Fire promptly pushed Little Tree aside. “Xiangnu, although I’m much older than you, I’m a level-nine immortal demon beast now. In other words, an ordinary Immortal Emperor is a nobody in my eyes. Little Tree’s cultivation level is too low, but you can just cultivate behind me. I have plenty of cultivating resources and take a look at Little Huang. He was originally just a small Great Unity Immortal, and I helped him attain the Immortal Supremacy Realm.”

Xiangnu stared blankly at Little Tree and Black Fire in front of her. Elder Brother Ah Xi and Elder Sister Yumo were very modest, but how come these two demon beasts looked somewhat strange?

“Younger Sister Xiangnu, the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City is very safe and the Peace Hotel is even safer. There are also sufficient cultivating resources, and you can be my partner.” Even though Chi Xun’er’s eyes were a bit swollen, she had already pulled Xiangnu over.

She had spent the longest time there, so she knew very well that both Black Fire and Little Tree were not very reliable.

“Daoist Di, what a coincidence. It looks like I came here on time.” Just as Di Jiu planned to go to the Teleportation Array to return to the Square Immortal Continent, the voice of Yaohua Snow Mountain’s Mo Louxue was heard.

Besides her, Ai Qingbing had also appeared.

Ai Qingbing, whose attention was on Di Jiu, hurriedly moved away, the side of her ear looking a bit rosy.
