Chapter 551: This Is Not Over

Di Jiu only realized what these people meant when he came out. It was different going in and coming out because the Void Chaos flowed backward and the entire Wormhole was like a whirlpool engulfing him inside. It was extremely difficult with every step he made to go outside.

Di Jiu sighed. It was no wonder that the people who were trapped here were unwilling to go. If it were him, he would also be unwilling to go, as they would die for sure. Based on ordinary walking speed, he supposed they would not necessarily walk half a kilometer in four hours, and it was about several kilometers from here to the cave entrance. The next wave of the Worm Tide would surely catch up with them.

It was hard for them to walk in the Wormhole, unlike the worms that seemed to be gifted. They came and went like the wind in the Wormhole, as fast as lightning.

Once everyone went out, they found it difficult and a few cultivators even wanted to go back in. They could not simply come out of the Wormhole by relying on their courage.

However, they very soon sensed the surrounding counter whirlpool weakening. Di Jiu’s voice could be heard right away. “Everyone, hurry up. Catch up with my speed.”

Di Jiu’s nomological arrays immediately blocked the chaotic whirlpool, and its speed was way faster than earlier on.

When they sensed the surrounding force engulfing them instantly weakening, the cultivators left and right felt great joy and frantically rushed out together following Di Jiu.

The group of people only spent one hour as they rushed out of the Wormhole. Hundreds of eyes welcomed them with shock.

Mu Jie saw Di Jiu at first glance and called out in pleasant surprise, “Daoist Zimo, you actually rushed out of the Wormhole?”

Although it was not true that nobody had ever rushed out after guarding the Wormhole before, only a small minority that added up to no more than three people had done so.

The cultivators who had made it out of the Wormhole were each protected by priceless treasures. Although they had rushed out, the priceless treasures were also revealed. There was no news on the three cultivators who had managed to rush out of the Wormhole later. The slightly smarter cultivators were aware that those three would not have a good outcome.

Di Jiu nodded his head sadly and told Mu Jie with cupped fists, “Union Master Mu, I’m very ashamed. Although I was fast, I still did not find Guild Master Ni. However, I met some fellow Daoists midway who were trapped in the Wormhole and I used the array disc handed down by my Master to escape from the Wormhole.”

Di Jiu had decided to refine an array disc later on. Otherwise, it would be really hard to say how he had gotten out.

“You’re Daoist Peng Ce?”

“Brother Zhang...”

The cultivators who came out with Di Jiu were recognized by many people and they greeted them in surprise one by one. They had never seen cultivators come out so many years after they had been engulfed by the Wormhole, yet many cultivators had done so this time.

“What’s going on?” At the moment, Di Jiu didn’t need to explain. After all, the cultivators who had come out with him had already started explaining. Everyone now knew that there was still a hidden Defense Array in the Wormhole, where there were still dozens of people.

When they heard that the cultivators who had come out had not entered the Wormhole, everyone understood. If they had entered the Wormhole, they would have been extremely lucky if they had managed to preserve their lives, let alone return to the Wormhole once again. Would they still have dared to talk about returning to the Dao World?

“Brother Zimo...” Zhuo Wujia was panting heavily and had acquired a few wounds. When he saw Di Jiu, he immediately walked over to greet him, looking elated.

Even though he knew Di Jiu was impressive, this was the Wormhole after all.

“Brother Zimo...” Kan Yiwei also came over and greeted Di Jiu with extreme excitement. He had befriended Di Jiu because he was simply too powerful. He could sense that Di Jiu would not perish in the Wormhole that simply and he had been right about it.

Back then, he had actually seen the woman who had been kicked into the Wormhole by Ni Luan. He had not expected Di Jiu to ask him about her surname not too long ago, yet Di Jiu had looked very concerned. Afterward, Ni Luan had bafflingly been engulfed by the Wormhole. Daoist Zimo had also entered the Wormhole...

Kan Yiwei simply could not convince himself that Zimo had gone to save Ni Luan, as it looked more like he had gone to save that woman.

“Daoist Zhuo, Daoist Kan, Union Master Mu... Even though I had help from the array disc just now in the Wormhole, my Essence Energy has also been terribly worn out. Therefore, I need some time to rest.” When Di Jiu cupped his firsts, he stopped Mu Jie from saying anything. He definitely had to get straight to the point now.

Mu Jie did not doubt Di Jiu’s words, let alone everyone else present.

It was lucky that Di Jiu had made it out of the Wormhole. Would he still want to save Ni Luan? Forget it. However, Di Jiu had risked his life and entered the Wormhole to save Ni Luan. Mu Jie also had a statement to make about that in the future. No matter what, she had done her best. If she still could not escape this calamity, she would be helpless.

“Daoist Zimo, you can rest first. Even though there were some losses, there are 10 more people this time, which is considered a strong supplement.” Mu Jie had a good impression of Di Jiu. No matter what, Di Jiu had rushed in to save someone to help her.

“Thank you.” Di Jiu then casually took some array flags out and set up a crude level-seven Shielding Immortal Array aside before he entered the Immortal Array.

Everyone had their own secrets. Nobody found it inappropriate of Di Jiu to use the Immortal Array as a shield while he was resting.

Once he entered his Shielding Array, Di Jiu once again set up a level-nine Spiritual Force isolation restriction. He did not need to rest at all, but the first thing he had to do was refine an array disc.

Di Jiu’s Array Dao had already surpassed the rank of a level-nine Immortal Array Emperor. This time, he used the best materials to refine the array disc and disregarded the techniques. It definitely would surpass a level-nine immortal array disc.

As for whether one would know if the array disc had been just refined by him, Di Jiu did not worry about it at all. He cultivated the Nomological Dao with a certain understanding of the time law. After the time law restrictions were mixed into the array disc, he could easily cover the traces of time on the array disc and also mix some Chaos Essence Energy from his Ninth World into it. It was hard to see when a treasure like this array disc had just been refined.

Di Jiu did not care about whether it would be found out many years later by someone. He had to get through the current situation first.

Di Jiu spent a whole day refining this array disc better.

When he came out, everyone had already once again repelled numerous worm attacks.

“Daoist Zimo, you’re already alright?” Mu Jie asked happily when she saw Di Jiu come out and approached him.

Di Jiu replied with cupped fists, “Thank you, Union Master Mu. I was poisoned with some worm poison previously. After recuperating for a day, I’m basically fine now.”

At the moment, the cultivators who had been saved by Di Jiu had the chance to thank him. Without Di Jiu, none of them would have made it out. As a result, Di Jiu also discovered that the woman was called Heng Shuangqi. He reckoned Heng Shuangqi would never have thought that Di Jiu had entered the Wormhole because of her and even taken revenge on her behalf.

“Daoist Zimo, Guild Master Ni has been engulfed by the Wormhole this time. I’m afraid this matter is far from over...” Mu Jie was worried.

Di Jiu looked at Mu Jie doubtfully and asked, “Why is that so?”

Mu Jie sighed and casually set up a simple isolation restriction. “Daoist Zimo, you probably don’t know how strong the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce is. This matter may seem unrelated to me, and I know you even entered the Wormhole to save Ni Luan by force, but the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce’s Ni Xiren is very unreasonable and very strong. I will not be the only unlucky one in the end. Also, I’m really sorry but I’m afraid you can’t keep that array disc anymore...”

Mu Jie was very apologetic. Di Jiu had braved death to find a remedy for her but he had to hand over his treasure.

Di Jiu remained silent for a long time before sighing. “Let’s talk when the time comes. Moreover, the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce has not sent anyone over yet. Maybe Ni Luan has not necessarily perished.”

Mu Jie’s eyes lit up when she heard that. That’s right. If Ni Luan had perished, the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce’s Ni Xiren would have already known about it. If Ni Xiren had discovered that his son had perished here, how could he not have sent anyone over yet?

The only possibility was that Ni Luan really had not perished yet. Hadn’t a lot of people been saved from the Wormhole? Perhaps, Ni Luan was hiding somewhere.
