“Brother Di, many people have come here,” Zhuo Wujia said softly.

“Don’t mind them. We’ll prepare to fight.” Di Jiu did not know why there were so many people here. However, he was sure that the patch-faced man who had come with them definitely wanted to make a move.

Di Jiu kept setting up nomological array flags. Since they wanted to make a move, he had to first kill one of them.

As he had expected, the patch-faced man’s flying boat landed after him and he immediately approached Di Jiu with three other people. While he walked, he said with a laugh, “My three dear friends, we were fated to meet. I have thought of a better way. How about we enter deep into Honeycomb Beach, join forces, and divide the Stacked Partition Herbs we find equally?”

At the moment, Di Jiu had already set up the Confinement Killing Array and was about to tell Mu Jie through voice transmission to kill the patch-faced man first. Di Jiu did not think saying anything to calm the patch-faced man would work, so killing one of them would be the simplest and most direct method at this point.

However, before Di Jiu could say anything, a deep voice was heard. “Fellow friends who have just come, we all want to go in to search for the Stacked Partition Herb but it is highly toxic. I hope that everyone can join forces and go deep into Honeycomb Beach.”

While he was saying that, his formidable cultivation aura engulfed everything. At the moment, Zhuo Wujia could even sense his breathing becoming somewhat more difficult.

The speaker was a tall man in red. Di Jiu scanned him with his Spiritual Force and saw that his cultivation level was far above Mu Jie’s. He was very likely a peak Dao Modeling expert.

Di Jiu sighed as he saw this fellow gather approximately 10 to 20 people. He knew that this fellow had the same thought as the patch-faced man. He wanted to find more people to share the Stacked Partition Herb’s toxicity.

Fortunately, this fellow paid more attention than the patch-faced man. At least he wanted more people to share the toxicity, while the patch-faced man wanted them to help him pick the Stacked Partition Herbs as his slaves and give them all the toxicity.

Di Jiu wanted to ask the tall cultivator in red why, as a peak Dao Modeling expert, he had to come here and fight with them for a low-level mission like picking Stacked Partition Herbs?

Upon hearing this, the patch-faced man subconsciously looked over. When he saw the cultivator in red, fear immediately appeared on his face. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, “Ji Hong pays his respects to Daoist Hongyi.”

He had not taken that bunch of people seriously at first, but things were different now that Wei Hongyi had appeared.

Di Jiu somewhat understood that the cultivator in red supposedly had some capabilities in the Lackluster Ocean Divine City, so even the patch-faced man feared him.

If he did not have any capabilities, how could he have gathered so many people here? Di Jiu was sure that these people had not decided to join forces mainly because of what the cultivator in red had said. After all, a portion of them was definitely worried about how powerful he was.

The young man in red nodded at the patch-faced man’s greeting and immediately asked once again, “What do you guys think?”

Di Jiu said with cupped fists, “The few of us plan to try our luck alone so we don’t intend to join any other teams.”

When the man in red heard what Di Jiu had said, viciousness flashed across his face. He had not expected Di Jiu to dare retort to his suggestion. Could perhaps a lot of people have forgotten who Wei Hongyi was since he was seldom in the Lackluster Ocean Divine City these days?

The cultivators who had gathered beside Wei Hongyi admired Di Jiu’s guts. However, at the same time, they also wanted to see what he relied on.

When they had rejected Wei Hongyi, they had used their low cultivation level. Their excuse was that they would only implicate him if they joined forces with him.

In the end, Wei Hongyi had said that he did not mind their low cultivation level and he would take care of them instead. Since he had said so, who would dare to retort again?

It would have seemed like they were looking down on Wei Hongyi and they would have been killed on the spot. They were not idiots. After all, they had survived in the Lackluster Ocean to this day. Nobody wanted to act alone, even if they fell out with Wei Hongyi.

However, the patch-faced man rejoiced. “Daoist Hongyi, we are willing to join your team, but I have a personal grudge against this fellow that I want to settle first.”

Wei Hongyi was going to personally make a move at first, but the patch-faced man was clearly trying to win his favor. Thus, he faintly said, “Hurry up and settle it. Then, we will immediately enter Honeycomb Beach since we have almost enough people.”

Almost the moment that the patch-faced man responded, Mu Jie received Di Jiu’s voice transmission to attack the patch-faced man. Meanwhile, Zhuo Wujia also received a voice transmission to protect the three of them.

Mu Jie did not doubt Di Jiu at all. Therefore, before the patch-faced man could prepare to make a move, her two Half-Moon Blades had already engulfed him.

The patch-faced man was furious for a while before charging forth. He had not expected that those nobodies would dare to attack him first.

“Attack!” The patch-faced man bellowed and drew his halberd.

The remaining three people had already attacked at the same time without needing the patch-faced man to tell them. However, they faced Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia. As far as Mu Jie was concerned, they believed the patch-faced man certainly could take care of her.

Unfortunately, as soon as they attacked them, they could immediately sense that there was something wrong with the space where the Confinement Killing Array had been set up.

This Confinement Killing Array confined the four of them and four killing intents engulfed them. They had lived in the Lackluster Ocean for so many years and, despite not being well-known, two of them had now modeled their Dao and the other two had Dao Seeds. How could they be thrashed?

While the four of them sensed that they were confined by the Confinement Killing Array, they drew their Dharma treasures with all their might and pointed them toward it.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Sound of explosions could be heard. Their Dharma treasures struck Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array, making it immediately produce a cracking sound. Then, their surroundings relaxed and they heaved a sigh of relief.

Even though Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array was not bad, it was far from able to confine the four of them.

Mu Jie’s Half-Moon Blade attacked all of a sudden, but her aura was insufficient. She was slower, as she was blocked by the fluctuations of the Confinement Killing Array that the four of them had broken.

The patch-faced man had a bad hunch. The space and the Confinement Killing Array were clearly broken but he felt a deadly threat.

The patch-faced man’s halberd swept over toward that woman’s Half-Moon Double Blade and ended up striking her double blade.

Bam! As Mu Jie spat out arrows of blood, she could not feel any more regretful. They were both at the Dao Modeling, but regardless of her battle experience and strength, she was not on par with the patch-faced man. In fact, Di Jiu had created better qualifications for her since the patch-faced man was confined by Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array.

If she had struck the patch-faced man before he and the other three could break free from the Confinement Killing Array, she could very likely have injured him seriously. However, he had struck first after breaking the array, which had caused Di Jiu’s major array to lose its effect.

The patch-faced man heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like the deadly threat had been this woman’s double blade and he was being too cautious. Even though he had not broken this Confinement Killing Array, the woman before him could not deliver a fatal blow. Moreover, this Confinement Killing Array was nothing to him. He was Ji Hong after all.

Actually, something was not right. As the patch-faced man had these thoughts, he felt that something was not right. That deathly aura was still present, but he had clearly seen the woman before him, who had attacked him, spit out blood and retreat.

The space stagnated in a split second and the patch-faced man was frightened stiff. Even though he had not experienced this, he had seen it for himself. This was definitely the time law. It was the time law...

The patch-faced man then saw a faintly-discernible saber flash spread over. At that moment, his space and time entered a stagnant state.

“Open it!” The patch-faced man ignited his blood. Just one breath, just one breath of time and he could break apart the constraint that the time law had on him...

In less than half a breath’s time, a faint chill tore through his chest and a hint of despair flashed across his eyes. He knew he was finished.

“Pfft!” A stream of blood shot out and Mu Jie, who was prepared to frantically attack once again, was taken aback. She saw the body of the patch-faced man hacked into two.

When the patch-faced man’s Principal Spirit rushed out, it was engulfed by a faintly-discernible black flame and it vanished without a trace while Di Jiu had swept away only one ring.
