“Di Jiu?” Li Lei recognized him the moment he appeared at the hall entrance. He was sure this young man was Di Jiu even though he had never seen him before.
“Daoist Di!” At least four or five Immortal Emperors stood up to greet Di Jiu with cupped fists. It was very clear that they had met him before.
Two Immortal Emperors thanked Di Jiu for coming to help the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. They had once been invited by Ye Xi over to the Brilliant Lake Palace so they could not be any more aware of his impressiveness.
Di Jiu noticed that the joy in Li Lei had died in a flash but he did not care about Li Lei. He cupped his fists towards the cultivators who greeted him.
“You’re really Alchemy Emperor Di?” a man with a graceful long beard asked in a polite tone after standing up and greeting Di Jiu.
Di Jiu cupped his fists as well. “Not bad. I am Di Jiu.” He greeted the man back.
The long-bearded man immediately said happily, “I’m the Righteous Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Fu Xueling. I would like to pay my respects to you, Alchemy Emperor Di. Thank you for coming to help the Thunder Court Immortal Continent.”
He had not seen Di Jiu before either, but he had heard many times that Di Jiu had eliminated the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent’s Brilliant Lake Palace.
Di Jiu replied faintly, “We’ll talk about helping later. I came here to find my Elixir Association’s Guild Master, Qu Hen, and the Deputy Guild Master, Chen Zishun.”
Di Jiu was not anxious, yet he still did things slowly no matter what. After all, he had to set up Nomological Array flags from time to time.
There were dozens of Immortal Emperors there. He was not afraid that he had a strength of an Immortal Emperor, but he was just an Immortal Supremacy. Di Jiu had the lowest cultivation level among the people in the hall.
“Di Jiu, I’m grateful that you came to help the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. I cannot even pursue you for killing two of the Thunder Yang Sect’s Grand Elders for the time being. I respect Immortal Emperor Xiangxin a lot, as she died for the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. Please don’t disrespect her,” Li Lei told him coldly. Di Jiu could only dream of leaving now that he was here.
Di Jiu laughed out loud, ignored Li Lei and walked into the hall. He had not finished setting up the Nomological Array flags, so he could not make a move yet.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force kept fluctuating once he entered the hall.
Nobody could have thought that Di Jiu was setting up Nomological Array flags. They all thought he was just checking on their cultivation level as well as the surrounding Dharma Array. It was very normal, so nobody cared about that.
“This is the Primeval Thunder Rock?” an old man who was sitting on the left side of the highest seat asked after suddenly standing up as he stared at the Thunder Rock below Di Jiu’s feet.
Primeval Thunder Rock? Everyone’s eyes landed on the Thunder Rock under Di Jiu’s feet at that moment.
Was Di Jiu flaunting? He had actually brought the Primeval Thunder Rock over here? Was he not afraid of other people knowing?
Li Lei, who was already excited, had recognized the rock when Di Jiu had stepped into the hall. He would have made a move immediately if he could snatch it in the open here.
He was unhappy that Tie Beishan had pointed out the Primeval Thunder Rock and did not believe that he was that shocked. Tie Beishan had shouted out in shock on purpose and definitely had other plans.
Di Jiu was done setting up the Nomological Array flags at the moment. As long as he activated his Spiritual Force, it could form a level-nine Strangulation Array in an instant.
After he was done setting up, Di Jiu naturally would not be as slow as before. He brought Black Fire and walked quickly over to Shan Xing with cupped fists. “Fellow Daoist, what did you mean when you said that my Elixir Association’s Guild Master, Deputy Guild Master, and Zhong Ao were plotted against?”
Shan Xing sighed silently. He could not tell Di Jiu what he had told Li Lei. He had told Li Lei for the Thunder Court Immortal Continent, but if he revealed that the Thunder Court Immortal Continent had arrested the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association’s Guild Master and Deputy Guild Master and even plotted against Zhong Ao, he would become the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s opponent.
Upon seeing that Shan Xing was not answering, Di Jiu looked at Li Lei and said, “You have the guts to do it, but you do not have the guts to admit it?”
The killing aura around him rose dramatically and his domain extended in a flash.
At that moment, the cultivators in the entire hall were in his domain. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had already surpassed the level-nine Immortal Force and, thanks to the overlay of the Primeval Thunder Rock’s profound thunder charm law, his domain was only stronger compared to the Great Immortal Emperor’s domain.
Li Lei was startled that Di Jiu’s domain was actually stronger than his. If he dealt with Di Jiu alone today, he was afraid the outcome would be terrible for him.
Li Lei had originally not thought of looking for assistance to merely deal with Di Jiu. However, he had to prepare to call for help now.
As the top expert of the Thunder Court Immortal Continent, Li Lei naturally did not need to take the initiative. A woman had already stood up and said, “Alchemy Emperor Di, you have insulted the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Immortal Emperor Xiangxin previously, but I was still in doubt. I understand now that you are just supercilious with your cultivation level. Although the Thunder Court Immortal Continent is weak, it can’t be insulted by you...”
She had already taken a step forward and gotten out of her seat to stand beside Li Lei. She said loudly at the same time, “Fellow Sect Masters, we joined forces to deal with the Beast Tide today, but someone came to insult the cultivator who perished and used his killing aura to crush us directly. I, Xue Ou, will not swallow this insult.”
Then, a few other Immortal Emperors stepped out of their seats.
Li Lei was relieved when he saw that there were six more Immortal Emperors by his side. After he restricted Di Jiu, he would take him away with an excuse to offer him as a sacrifice to his Daoist partner. There was definitely a top-notch big secret about Di Jiu.
Di Jiu laughed out loud and said in an ice-cold tone, “Only seven people are blind? It seems like not all the Immortal Emperors and Sect Masters are blind in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. I arrived in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent a year ago and only got here moments ago. I met Kong Xiangxin, who chased after my old friend, Zhong Ao.
If Zhong Ao wasn’t plotted against, I’m not looking down on everyone. However, everyone here wouldn’t be enough to kill him, let alone just a woman. He was chased after being plotted against and I killed that woman, Kong Xiangxin. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can stand directly in front of me. If you’re unwilling to fight along with me, please leave now. When I do so, I can’t ensure your safety...”
“You’re courting death!” Li Lei bellowed as his domain expanded. His Thunder Hammer grew bigger and transformed into a Thunder Mountain that moved towards Di Jiu in an instant.
Di Jiu did not activate his Strangulation Array. He only struck back with the Heavenly Aqua Saber in his hands.
Di Jiu knew very well that Li Lei had not gone all-out. He was very hypocritical, so he should be testing out his strength. When he fully attacked later, the Primeval Thunder Rock under his feet would fill the whole sky with thunder showers and thunder balls. Those cultivators here would be struck by them.
It was terrible enough that his level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array was facing so many experts. He had to persuade some of them to leave first. He did not believe that everyone here would sacrifice their life for Li Lei.
Boom! A frantic Immortal Essence exploded, emitting a thunder flash everywhere.
The Thunder Hammer once again returned to Li Lei. who looked as if he had calmed down. He only tried using it with the help of his anger. He was sure that Di Jiu’s strength was still a bit weaker than he had expected. Today, he would definitely not let him leave.
A young Immortal Alchemy Emperor and a cultivator who had not become an Immortal Emperor could get rid of Ye Xi. He was excited about the secrets he kept.
“Ha ha...” Shan Xing laughed loudly. “What a great person to perish while fighting the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Beast Tide. I see clearly now. Alchemy Emperor Di, I will give it my all today and won’t help you seek justice.”
Shan Xing grabbed his double-bladed polearm, which landed on Di Jiu’s side.
Those who had seen what a formidable Immortal Emperor Di Jiu was seemed to rush out of the hall at that moment without any further thoughts.
“Daoist Di, even though I know the course of events in between very well, I can’t help you. I can only go out,” Fu Xueling told Di Jiu with cupped fists before sighing and rushing out of the hall.
How could he not see that the three people from the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association had been sabotaged by Li Lei? Unfortunately, Li Lei now bore the entire Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s survival. No matter how unhappy he was with Li Lei’s methods, he could not help Di Jiu get rid of him.
The Immortal Emperor who had called out Di Jiu’s Thunder Court Immortal Continent earlier said with cupped fists, “Alchemy Emperor Di, I’m the Kun High Mountain Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Tie Beishan. The Thunder Court Immortal Continent is in the wrong this time. I apologize.”
He also rushed out of the hall in a flash after saying that.
He wanted Di Jiu’s Primeval Thunder Rock, but it was completely impossible to get it unless Li Lei died. Under the circumstances, he would not help Li Lei deal with Di Jiu.
Tie Beishan rushed out of the hall and a few more Immortal Emperors followed one by one.
Di Jiu told Shan Xing, who was by his side, with cupped fists, “Daoist Shan, you should head out too. I’m thankful that you stood up to help. However, today, I want to see for myself how strong the Thunder Emperor is.”
Shan Xing stared blankly at him. Di Jiu was not just facing one Immortal Emperor, but seven Immortal Emperors led by the Thunder Emperor.
However, he reacted very quickly and nodded his head. “Alright.”
He and Li Lei held grudges against each other because Li Lei had harmed his friend, Yong Zuocheng, just because he had said something on behalf of Qu Hen and Chen Zishun.
Li Lei had originally been somewhat worried about Shan Xing, but now that he went out, he swept out with the Thunder Hammer towards Di Jiu at once and shouted loudly at the same time, “Everyone, let’s make a move together! He is keeping some secrets...”
Li Lei was fast, and so was Di Jiu. His Strangulation Array was formed at the same time, and his Spiritual Force and Primeval Thunder Rock were connected. Thunder element nomological auras were mixed by Di Jiu one after another, forming huge thunder showers and thunder streaks that were thrown out among thunder balls one after another.
“This is bad. He set up a Strangulation Array here...” Someone discovered Di Jiu’s Strangulation Array while everyone was locked in battle. Thanks to Di Jiu’s activation, the level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array combined with the Primeval Thunder Rock launched a terrifying attack. Even an Immortal Emperor could only save himself at that moment.
