Chapter 741: The Nie Planet

The little girl stood up and her body looked even thinner and weaker. She winced and glanced at Ling Xiaoshuang as if she had something to say but did not dare say it.

Ling Xiaoshuang realized that and immediately asked, “Do you have anything to tell me?”

The little girl nodded. “I have heard of the Nie Clan. Their family is very formidable. The family head is called Nie Changping...”

“Ah...” Ling Xiaoshuang cried out in pleasant surprise and eagerly stepped forward to ask, “Where is the Nie Clan?

The little girl said a few words and seemed a lot bolder, so her speech became coherent. “They are in a place called the Nie Planet. The Nie Clan’s family head has two sons and one daughter. His two sons are called Nie Baichi and Nie Qianzhang, while his daughter is called Nie Wanjiao...”

Ling Xiaoshuang looked pleasantly surprised. She had not expected to discover the whereabouts of the Nie Clan like this. She was so excited that she was about to approach the little girl and grab onto her shoulders. However, Ling Xiaoshuang did not move. Di Jiu had already slashed with his Heavenly Aqua Saber.

“Big Brother Di...” Ling Xiaoshuang screamed in horror. Against that saber move, how could that little girl who was only at the Immortal King Realm survive?

At the moment, the best way for her to rescue the little girl was to sneak an attack on Di Jiu. She would rescue her as long as she attacked Di Jiu.

After Ling Xiaoshuang screamed, she did not do anything. She knew very well what kind of person Di Jiu was.

Di Jiu would not slash with his saber without a reason.

Just as his saber was about to tear this little girl into half, a red handprint suddenly appeared before his saber.

Bam! A bloody mist burst and the red handprint collapsed. When the blood-red mist collapsed as well, a howl was heard. “Kid, I’ll remember that you plotted against me. I’ll remember you...”

By the time the last word was uttered, the figure had disappeared without a trace.

Ling Xiaoshuang looked at the disappearing little girl in amazement and suddenly understood something. She looked at Di Jiu and asked, “Big Brother Di, did I mess up your business?”

Di Jiu waved his hand. “Actually, even if you hadn’t reached out, I may not have been able to keep her.”

“You already knew that she wasn’t an Immortal King?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked.

Di Jiu nodded. “Yes. As soon as I saw her, I knew that her cultivation should be higher than yours. She was not here to hide but to digest what she had absorbed.”

“The blood and life-force of the cultivators on this void ship?” Ling Xiaoshuang naturally understood what Di Jiu meant.

“Yes. She had actually recovered until the Dao Integration Realm but did not dare to make a move because she had also seen that you were at early-stage Dao Integration. If you’d reached out to her, she would definitely have plotted against you. Thus, I could only attack her in advance.” Di Jiu sighed deep down.

If the other party had plotted against Ling Xiaoshuang, he would have been at an absolute disadvantage. Therefore, he could only sneak an attack ahead of time.

He had taken out the Moon Core and talked a lot so that he could find a suitable opportunity to plot against the other person. This was because he felt that there was something on this woman that he urgently needed. His sole purpose was to hack the woman’s arm and take her ring away.

Once they fought face-to-face, Di Jiu believed that he and Ling Xiaoshuang would not be afraid of this woman. However, he certainly could not keep this woman in check. It turned out that he had not misjudged her. Even though he had plotted against her, she had still escaped calmly.

“I got it.” Ling Xiaoshuang sighed deep down. She knew that she might have messed up Di Jiu’s business. Given Di Jiu’s cautiousness and character, how could he talk while the Moon Core was out?

Unfortunately, she had not thought too much at the time, so she had neglected this small detail. If she had been more attentive, she would have been on alert when she had seen Di Jiu take out the Moon Core.

“Let’s go.” Di Jiu ripped apart the Defense Array of the top floor and stepped out.

“Are we still going to Heaven’s Beyond?” Ling Xiaoshuang caught up. Even though they knew that Nie Qianzhang was on the Nie Planet, they had no clue where that planet was.

“We can’t go there right now. We need to follow that woman,” Di Jiu said.

Ling Xiaoshuang looked at Di Jiu in amazement. Her escape technique was not as good as that woman’s, so how would she follow her?

Di Jiu chuckled. “Although that woman’s escape technique is impressive, she has been marked by my saber. Thus, she can’t escape my senses quickly.”

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao, so all his saber moves contained a special Saber Dao law. As long as the other party was still in the void realm on the same side he was, they could not escape from his senses.

Ling Xiaoshuang took a cold breath. As expected, Di Jiu cultivated the most top-notch cultivation technique. Otherwise, he definitely could not have said that.

“Big Brother Di, you’ll be at the front and I’ll be at the back. We’ll go now,” Ling Xiaoshuang said eagerly. The whereabouts of Cai Ji were unknown, but the woman who had just escaped knew where the Nie Clan was. There was a glimmer of hope that they would find Cai Ji.

Di Jiu hesitated for a while before nodding his head. “Alright, I’ll go first then.”

Upon saying that, he immediately went out. He had hesitated because he was worried that Ling Xiaoshuang would not be able to keep up with him.

Ling Xiaoshuang thought that she would only need to follow Di Jiu at first. After Di Jiu’s departure, she realized that it was a bit difficult to keep up with him.

Di Jiu’s speed could not be described as an escape technique but as teleportation.

Fortunately, he stopped after using his Spiritual Force escape technique twice. He waited for Ling Xiaoshuang to catch up and said, “Xiaoshuang, your speed is a bit slow. Based on your speed, we may not be able to catch up with the other party. When she reacts, I will lose her whereabouts.”

Ling Xiaoshuang’s face turned slightly red, as she was really ashamed. She was a Dao Integration cultivator, so even a cultivator who had yet to reach Primordial Chaos had to wait for her.

“Big Brother Di, I’ll enter my Quintessential World. Then you’ll take it and leave.” Ling Xiaoshuang absolutely trusted Di Jiu.

“Alright.” Di Jiu naturally did not hesitate.

...

After more than half a month in the void, even Di Jiu admired the strength of the other party’s escape technique. If Ling Xiaoshuang had not entered the Quintessential World, they would have lost their target given Ling Xiaoshuang’s speed. Now, he could still focus on the other party even if she doubled her speed.

The woman, who had looked like a little girl, was definitely a very cautious person. Even though she had clearly escaped more than ten days ago, she was still escaping and did not even stop to heal her injuries.

Di Jiu had some doubts about whether the other party had a sixth sense and maybe knew that he was following her.

Upon thinking of this possibility, Di Jiu stopped executing his Spiritual Force escape technique and switched to the nomological escape technique, which was much faster than the Spiritual Force escape technique. If he had executed the nomological escape technique in the beginning, he would have caught up with the other party.

He did not want to catch up with the other party so quickly because he wanted to know where her territory was.

As expected, once Di Jiu executed the nomological escape technique, he sensed that the other party’s speed had slowed down in just half a day. Another day passed before that woman finally stopped and took out a flying boat to allow herself to recuperate while the flying boat flew.

Di Jiu secretly feared that this woman could actually perceive his Spiritual Force escape technique. As long as she was detected by his Spiritual Force, she could only dream about escaping from him unless she suddenly used the Plane Split Talisman.

Two more weeks later, the woman’s injury had completely improved and her flying boat accelerated.

Di Jiu followed her unhurriedly. When three months had passed, a huge floating continent appeared at the edge of Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force. This continent was enveloped by a Defense Array so his Spiritual Force could not infiltrate it.

That woman, who still had not discovered Di Jiu, controlled the flying boat toward that floating continent.

Di Jiu called Ling Xiaoshuang out. Now that he knew where the other party was going, it was easy to handle this.

“We lost her?” As soon as Ling Xiaoshuang came out, she did not see that woman and subconsciously asked what had happened.

“We didn’t.” Di Jiu pointed to the void in the distance and said, “The woman entered th
