Chapter 816: Soul-searching

Di Jiu frowned. He had thought Kuang Yiren was talking about Di Di and hadn’t expected it to be Nong Xiuqi. This made him feel that something was wrong. Theoretically, Xiuqi should have ascended to the Dao World very early, which Zhuo Wujia had said before. Why had she only arrived in the wormhole a hundred years ago?

Could it be that Nong Xiuqi had not ascended to the Dao World at that time? Otherwise, why couldn’t he find Nong Xiuqi?

“Daoist Kuang, is there an image of her?” Di Jiu was very anxious.

Kuang Yiren took out a clear crystal ball and handed it to Di Jiu. “Brother Di, since we are acquaintances, I recorded a video, which I originally intended to give you.”

Di Jiu took the crystal ball and scanned with his Spiritual Force. Nong Xiuqi was indeed in that.

Clenching his fists tightly, Di Jiu suddenly said in a clear voice, “Fellow friends, I am here today to find my wife Nong Xiuqi. If anyone knows of her whereabouts, I will not decline any requests as long as I can do it. If you don’t have any requests, I’m willing to give away a high-grade flying divine weapon and a supreme-grade offensive divine weapon, even a supreme-grade divine spirit meridian or high-grade divine spirit meridian, anything.”

After saying that, Di Jiu lifted his hand to portray Nong Xiuqi’s image in the void.

At this time, tens of thousands of cultivators in the hall and the square outside heard that clearly and everyone went silent. There was a sense of suffocation to them for such a reward, including the Sect Masters of the Five Major Sects.

Everyone stared at Nong Xiuqi’s image, desperately recalling where they had seen this female cultivator.

Sensing Di Jiu’s anger and anxiety, Fu Buwen was even more shocked. He knew that he used to have some hope to talk about the terms with Di Jiu, but not now.

From how Di Jiu had killed Zhong You, who was an exceptional person and one of the Ten Major Geniuses of the Dao World, Zhong You had been completely useless in Di Jiu’s hands.

Zhen Man stared blankly at Nong Xiuqi’s portrait in the void. She had always believed that Di Jiu was always thinking of her. Even last time, she had thought that Di Jiu was risking his life to save her. Now, she then understood how ridiculous it was.

Di Jiu already had a cultivation partner whom she had seen before, Nong Xiuqi. Even Zhen Man had to admit that she was worse than Nong Xiuqi.

This gap was not just about appearance, but also elsewhere. Otherwise, Fu Buwen would not let her address Nong Xiuqi as an elder sister and even pleaded Nong Xiuqi subserviently. At least, Fu Buwen did not do that. She could come to the Limitless Palace by relying on the fact that she had taken the initiative to get closer to Fu Buwen.

Zhen Man suddenly clenched her fists. Perhaps only she knew Nong Xiuqi’s whereabouts apart from Fu Buwen. She would never tell Di Jiu. As long as she did not say, Di Jiu could not find Nong Xiuqi.

Zhen Man had just thought of that when Fu Buwen suddenly said coldly, “If it wasn’t for a slut like you, how could I have caused Junior Sister Lan and Brother Di to misunderstand…”

Fu Buwen had said that very quickly as he slapped Zhen Man.

A deathly aura rushed forth and despair rose in Zhen Man’s heart. Suddenly, she wanted to shout out where Nong Xiuqi was. However, with that terrifying suppression, she could not speak at all.

Bam! The violent Divine Essence clashed together and sent Zhen Man flying out. She landed from the void and opened her mouth to spit out an arrow of blood.

Zhen Man was pleasantly surprised that she was still alive. Immediately, her heart sank and her foundation was abolished. Although her cultivation level was still present, she could never advance.

Di Jiu looked coldly at Fu Buwen. “If you dare to move a finger, I will tear you into pieces.”

Di Jiu didn’t understand why Fu Buwen had done that to Zhen Man. Although Fu Buwen had suddenly made a move and was very close to Zhen Man, Di Jiu still managed to save Zhen Man.

However, Zhen Man was still seriously injured. Di Jiu saw that Zhen Man’s injury was not light and even her foundation had been damaged. Di Jiu did not intend to help Zhen Man to restore her foundation. Perhaps, this was better for Zhen Man.

Fu Buwen’s heart turned cold. He knew that he could not silence her anymore. As long as Zhen Man spoke, Di Jiu would know very soon.

Zhen Man struggled to sit up with a sadness in her heart. For a long time, she had felt that Di Jiu was very inferior to her. Even when she had been taken to the Small Central World by Di Jiu last time, she had only thought that Di Jiu was luckier than her. Even if he had excelled her, it was only for a moment. The result was that she had obtained an opportunity and soared her cultivation level.

When she saw Di Jiu again, she felt that Di Jiu was poor. Unfortunately, he kept humiliating her, which made her completely mature and no longer felt that it was just a matter of luck.

She looked up at Di Jiu. From now on, she vowed to follow Di Jiu. Sometimes, what one looked down upon was not necessarily bad. She suddenly hated herself. Why hadn’t she cherished that?

Fortunately, she still had a chance because she knew where Nong Xiuqi was. She just had to say where Nong Xiuqi was.

When Zhen Man was about to speak, a thin and skinny male cultivator rushed up and said with cupped fists, “Senior Di, I know where Senior Nong went. She was taken away by Fu Buwen of the Limitless Palace. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Despair rushed forth in Fu Buwen’s heart. Before he could beg for mercy, Di Jiu had already grabbed him and held him in front of him like a chick.

It was only then that Fu Buwen found that despite being a Dao Integration cultivator, he had no chance to resist before in front of Di Jiu.

He immediately suppressed this emotion. Di Jiu had to ask him if he wanted to know where Nong Xiuqi was.

Nong Xiuqi had entered her own world, even Zhen Man didn’t know that. In Zhen Man’s opinion, Nong Xiuqi had only used the Dharma treasure to tear the void and escape.

Without even asking Fu Buwen anything, Di Jiu raised his hand and pressed on the area between his eyebrows, causing a violent Spiritual Force aura to rake into Fu Buwen’s Spiritual Force like a steel ball.

He was searching his soul…

Fu Buwen screamed miserably. He wanted Di Jiu to stop searching his soul and he would tell him everything. However, at this moment, he couldn’t even speak half a sentence.

If people knew that a Primordial Chaos cultivator had searched the soul of a Dao Integration cultivator, they might find that a joke. Searching the soul was not something that could be done casually. Usually, after a cultivator searched the soul, they would suffer from hallucinations.

The higher the cultivation level was, the stronger the soul. The disordered memory of the person with his soul being searched would be like a breached sea with wastewater, that would all rush into the memory of the person searching the soul. Hence, causing his Spiritual Sea to collapse and memory to be disordered.

Therefore, one usually soul-searched a cultivator with a much lower level and couldn’t do it often.

Even though Di Jiu’s was much stronger than Fu Buwen, this soul-searching was not suitable because his cultivation level was lower than Fu Buwen’s.

However, Di Jiu did not intend to leave any remaining information from Fu Buwen. As long as the information was related to Nong Xiuqi, he would strip them all away. All other information would be completely burnt by his Dao fire.

This method of burning the memory of the Spiritual Sea with the Dao fire was extremely terrifying. Although Fu Buwen was a Dao Integration cultivator, he still screamed miserably non-stop. He couldn’t even faint from such a soul-searching method.

At this moment, when tens of thousands of cultivators in the entire Limitless Square watched Di Jiu search Fu Buwen’s soul, they were absolutely silent. Many of them had a chill in their heart. They couldn’t afford to infuriate Di Jiu. He was too terrifying. The soul-searching was not terrifying but searching the soul of a Dao Integration cultivator was.

After one hour, Di Jiu threw Fu Buwen aside and lifted his hand to send a flame onto Fu Buwen, causing him to instantly turn into ashes. At the same time, Di Jiu obtained what he wanted.

He glanced coldly at Zhen Man and was extremely disgusted with her. He even regretted rescuing her from Fu Buwen just now.

This woman was unexpectedly Fu Buwen’s accomplice and wanted to make a move on his wife Xiuqi.
