Di Jiu ignored Fan Yuan and looked coldly at Heng Siyue. “You imprisoned Kan Zitong?”

Heng Siyue was completely stunned. What was going on? For a moment, he forgot to answer Di Jiu.

Di Jiu snorted. “Are you deaf? I’m asking you a question.”

He had ignored Fan Yuan just now. When Fan Yuan, who had come out, heard Di Jiu’s words, his expression turned ugly. However, his anger died away. He smiled again before he stood aside and waited for Di Jiu.

“You’re a cultivator of the Human Clan, and I’m the Union Master of the Sacred Dao Union. All the cultivators of the Human Clan in the Void City belong to...”

Heng Siyue’s voice trailed off spontaneously, as Di Jiu had pinched his neck. He had difficulty breathing, and even his cultivation circulation stopped completely. If this went on for a long time, he was certain that he would be the first Primordial Dao cultivator to be suffocated.

Heng Siyue felt a chill all over and felt horrified. He finally understood why Fan Yuan was so polite to the cultivator before him. He was definitely at Primordial Chaos and he was a top-notch expert in the Primordial Chaos Realm. When had such a top-notch Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor of the Human Clan come to the Void City?

“If you’re not going to answer, save it.” Di Jiu used more strength.

“No, I’ll talk...” Heng Siyue struggled to spit these words out before feeling the grip on his neck loosen a little. He did not dare to talk about the Sacred Dao Union. “Senior, Kan Zitong killed the Sea Clan’s cultivator. This kind of behavior caused a disaster to the Human Clan and brought us shame.”

“Oh, if I killed a Primordial Dao cultivator of the Sea Clan in the Void City, I’d bring shame to the Human Clan?” Di Jiu looked at Heng Siyue sarcastically.

Heng Siyue’s heart sank. He had just returned to the Void City for the sake of attending the Dao Fruit Pagoda Conference. How could he know that Di Jiu had killed a Primordial Dao cultivator of the Sea Clan? If he had known, he definitely would not have been talking like this.

“Brother... Senior Di, you...” Luan Wenxing looked at Di Jiu in pleasant surprise. He simply had not expected that Di Jiu, whom he had met by chance, would be so powerful.

“Brother Luan, we have always been friends, so there is no seniority between us.” Di Jiu smiled slightly, his tone easing.

Luan Wenxing hurriedly said, “In that case, I’ll call you Brother Di. Brother Di, I know this better than anyone. I know Kan Zitong very well, and she definitely would not cause trouble. The reason she came to the Void City was for the Dao Fruit Pagoda. Because of Heng Siyue of the Human Clan, there were no longer any places for cultivators of the Human Clan in the Dao Fruit Pagoda. Even if there were, they would have to fork out a huge amount of treasures in exchange.”

Di Jiu frowned. “What do you mean?”

Luan Wenxing explained, “The Human Clan has 30 places in the Dao Fruit Pagoda, which was sought by Dao Lord Ye back then. These places were originally allocated according to the cultivators’ qualifications, talent, and contribution to the Sacred Dao World. When the Sacred Dao World and Heaven’s Beyond acquired a Teleportation Array, many geniuses went to Heaven’s Beyond. As a result, the places of the Sacred Dao World’s Human Clan were handed to the Heng Family.

When the Heng Family obtained these places, they never took into account the cultivators of the Human Clan who truly came from the Sacred Dao World. They turned these places into top-notch cultivation resources, all of which were left to the Heng Family, thus showing how extremely selfish they are. A few geniuses of the Human Clan stepped forward to oppose them but were directly obliterated by the Heng Family. The Heng Family also established a Sacred Dao Union in the Void City. Any cultivators who come to the Void City must register there. If they violate the rules set by the Heng Family, they will end up being killed or crippled.”

“The Heng Family sure has guts.” Di Jiu raised his hand and threw Heng Siyue to the ground, his voice sounding a bit icy.

Heng Siyue’s face turned pale, and he felt extremely panicked deep down. He had an intuition that he was done for, and so was the Heng Family.

Luan Wenxing spat in contempt at Heng Siyue. “Senior Sister Kan Zitong also knew Dao Lord Ye. Even though she clearly came from the Sacred Dao World, she couldn’t get a place in the Dao Fruit Pagoda. She painstakingly managed to obtain a place somewhere else but was framed by Heng Siyue and eventually imprisoned. This man is scum in the Void City. He basically sold his place to other clans at low prices, but not the Human Clan.”

Di Jiu stared at Heng Siyue. “Where did your place in the Dao Fruit Pagoda go?”

“I’m from the Heng Clan’s Divine Corner. You can’t do anything to me.” Heng Siyue’s tone was just like his expression: pale and powerless.

Di Jiu raised his hand and Heng Siyue’s arm fell. Di Jiu then took Heng Siyue’s ring directly from his broken arm before opening the ring with his Spiritual Force.

Immediately, Di Jiu took nearly 20 Dao Fruit Pagoda jade cards out and asked faintly, “Where are the other 10 jade cards?”

Heng Siyue replied in horror, “I sold them to other people. Most of the cards of the places in the Dao Fruit Pagoda have been booked. You can’t take them...”

Despite knowing that he could not say that, Heng Siyue still could not help but do so. He knew very well what his outcome and the Heng Family’s outcome would be after Di Jiu took away these Dao Fruit Pagoda cards.

Di Jiu did not care about Heng Siyue. Instead, he asked Luan Wenxing, “Brother Luan, do you have any news on Kan Zitong?”

“I do. Senior Sister Kan is imprisoned in the Void City’s Sacred Dao Union,” said Ji Lingzhu, who had just walked over.

At that moment, Ji Lingzhu was full of excitement. She had not expected Di Jiu to be so terrifying. The first thing she thought of was the Heaven Essence Fruit that she had lost. Perhaps, through Senior Brother Di Jiu, she could take back this Heaven Essence Fruit.

Without hesitation, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force broke through the Void City’s Spiritual Force isolation restriction and soon found the Sacred Dao Union.

He told Luan Wenxing and Ji Lingzhu, “Senior Brother Luan, Senior Sister Ji, I’ll have to trouble the two of you to go to the Sacred Dao Union and bring Senior Sister Kan here.”

Luan Wenxing froze for a moment and then replied, “The Sacred Dao Union is guarded by a Defense Array. Ordinary cultivators cannot enter at all.”

There was something else that Luan Wenxing had not mentioned. In fact, the cultivators from other clans still had the chance to enter the Sacred Dao Union, but it was the hardest for those from the Human Clan to go in. Ever since the Heng Family had taken control of the Sacred Dao Union, they had tried their best to curry favor with the other clans, disdaining the Human Clan.

“You can go. I’ve broken that lousy array.” Di Jiu gestured with his hand, not taking the Sacred Dao Union’s Defense Array seriously.

“Alright. Senior Brother Di, don’t worry. I will bring Senior Sister Kan here as quickly as possible.” Luan Wenxing was ecstatic upon hearing that. He was sure that Di Jiu had just broken that Defense Array. Despite so many isolation restrictions, Di Jiu had broken the Sacred Dao Union’s Defense Array. How powerful was Di Jiu? The Void City’s isolation restrictions were extraordinary.

Ding Chi hurriedly said, “I’ll follow along.”

Fan Yuan’s fear became increasingly deeper. While Di Jiu was at the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square, he had broken the Sacred Dao Union’s Defense Array. How powerful was he?

His Spiritual Force and Array Dao level had to be heaven-defyingly powerful, but he also needed the Spiritual Force attack technique. Just these two were insufficient, so he still needed a technique for his Spiritual Force to break the array.

Fan Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied that Di Jiu had ignored him, but this dissatisfaction had vanished without a trace.

After Luan Wenxing and the other two people left, Di Jiu patted Heng Siyue’s shoulder. “You can get lost. If I have a chance to go to the Sacred Dao World, the first thing I’ll do is wipe out the Heng Family. Relay the message to them.”

This instruction was fake. Di Jiu was sure that Heng Siyue would not make it past that day.

Since Heng Siyue’s cultivation level had been mostly abolished by him, he absolutely would not allow Heng Siyue to leave the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square.

Heng Siyue had sold all the places in the Dao Fruit Pagoda. If he still could not take them out eventually, fury and murder would be awaiting him. Once Heng Siyue died, the Heng Clan’s Divine Corner would still have to pay for this.

After kicking away Heng Siyue, Di Jiu looked at Fan Yuan with a smile and said with cupped fists, “Daoist Fan, I came here because I need your help with a small matter.”
