The saber Qi Qi took out could not block the Sky Screen Saber Move, which scared Qi Qi tremendously. “I could tell you how to leave the Polar Night Continent and head to the Small Central World!” he shouted anxiously.

A trail of blood suddenly spattered as the Sky Screen Saber Move made Qi Qi land on the ground.

The Small Central World? Di Jiu immediately realized that his saber move had been too swift and Qi Qi had spoken too late. Although he intended to head over to the Small Central World, this piece of arduously-obtained information was now lost.

The fifth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator left was extremely pale.

This was simply too scary. Di Jiu had killed six Qi Family Essence Soul Realm experts in one go, slaughtered Qi Qi and chopped off Qi Chenxiang's limbs.

“Do you know anything about the Small Central World?” Di Jiu's gaze landed on this cultivator.

The Essence Soul Realm cultivator did not even think of resisting. Even Qi Qi was no match for Di Jiu, so any resistance would only cause him to die faster.

“Not really…” As soon as he said these two words, the Essence Soul Realm cultivator sensed Di Jiu's powerful killing intent. “However, I do know that this Small Central World must be related to the Dusk Star Ruins…” he added hastily.

“Where are the Dusk Star Ruins?”

“We were merely following the family head. The incomplete map of the Dusk Star Ruins should be in his ring…” The Essence Soul Realm cultivator said everything he knew to save his life.

“Who's your family head?”

“Qi Qi.”

The Essence Soul Realm cultivator was killed by a saber flash.

As Di Jiu left the Thorn Ocean City, the city was in an uproar.

The biggest power in the Thorn Ocean City, the Qi Family's Commercial Building, had been exterminated by Di Jiu. No one in the building had survived. Di Jiu had killed everyone, regardless of whether they were cultivators of the Qi Family or cultivators who had entered the building to purchase goods.

Di Jiu had also killed and pinned three Qi Family cultivators to the ruins outside the building. These three corpses used to be Qi Chenxiang, Qi Zhishang and Qi Hong. Even a Void Spirit Realm Expert like Qi Chenxiang had been killed.

Qi Zhishang and Qi Chenxiang were the masterminds behind the extermination of the Galaxy Sect, and Qi Hong was supposed to be the fella who had exterminated Geng Jihua's hometown. Di Jiu killing the three of them together was simply karma.

Di Jiu's ruthlessness caused the many sects who had offended the Galaxy Sect before to cower in fear. He had eliminated the Qi Family after all, and there were not many sects in the entire Polar Night Continent that were more powerful than the Qi Family.

Although Di Jiu really wanted to look through Qi Qi's ring, he knew that he had to exterminate the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings as soon as possible. Hence, he headed to another branch right after he left the Thorn Ocean City.

This time, he was too late. Even though he was fast, his speed was not as fast as the speed of the traveling news. After the extermination of the main branch of the Qi Family's Commercial Building in the Thorn Ocean City, all the Qi Family's branches in the Polar Night Continent had been raided overnight. Other than extremely few buildings that were ignored, the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings ceased to exist in the entire Polar Night Continent.

They all disappeared like rats leaving a sinking ship. This expression described the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings aptly.

As he stood at the site of the Galaxy Sect's ruins, Di Jiu was feeling mournful.

Although he had no intention of rebuilding the Galaxy Sect, he felt really grateful for Yu Jingyan and Galaxy Sect Master Xiang Tianyi. Based on what he had heard, Xiang Tianyi had gone missing after losing a limb to protect him and Geng Ji. Then, the two of them had been evicted from the Galaxy Sect.

Di Jiu knew very well that this eviction had not been decided by the sect. The Galaxy Sect would have been unwilling to do such a thing. However, after this eviction, he had been considered abandoned by the Galaxy Sect. The whole situation had been his fault. Thus, now that he had taken revenge on behalf of the Galaxy Sect and exterminated the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings, he had done everything he had wanted to do.

He would definitely not be rebuilding the Galaxy Sect, considering that the sect had abandoned him. Plus, even if he chose to rebuild it, he'd have no time to stay there and slowly develop the sect again.

Although Xiang Tianyi's mindset matched his well, the mindset of the Galaxy Sect differed from his. If he were the Galaxy Sect Master or the person in charge of the sect, he would absolutely not evict any disciples due to a matter of this nature. Such an act would only cause the sect to lose its vitality and hot-bloodedness.

Even though the Galaxy Sect had evicted him and Geng Ji, it had still been exterminated.

After lamenting for a short while, Di Jiu left the Galaxy Sect. Although he had heard that the Sky Screen had already closed, he could not sense Little Tree, which implied that Little Tree had not exited the Sky Screen.

People everywhere were talking about the location of the Book of the World. After exterminating the Qi Family's Commercial Building, Di Jiu did not wish to maintain such a high profile anymore. Hence, he rented a cave abode at a small cultivation town called Lasting Mountain.

His main objective for renting this cave abode was to organize his harvest. This time, he had killed 10 Essence Soul Realm cultivators and two Void Spirit Realm Cultivators of the Qi Family and taken all their storage rings. He had also obtained more than 100 storage rings and bags of Golden Core Realm Cultivators.

Di Jiu looked forward to Qi Qi's ring the most. Finding the way to the Small Central World in Qi Qi's ring was his priority. Di Jiu had circled the Polar Night Continent once and found out that the truth differed from what Master Qian Fenghua had said. He had not found any information on the Small Central World, let alone any stellar maps, in the various big shops of the Polar Night Continent. The Qi Family's Commercial Building was quite big a power, yet it did not possess any stellar maps to the Small Central World either.

Di Jiu had no unfinished business in the Polar Night Continent. He had exterminated the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings, so Geng Ji should not be in much danger. Little Tree was not in the Polar Night Continent anymore, and Master Qian Fenghua was still trapped underground, so he was unable to help him out given his current strength.

Hence, he would head to the Small Central World as soon as he discovered how to do that.

The rays of the setting sun elongated the shadows in the Sky Market City.

Two ladies and a man entered the Sky Market City before nightfall. It was Jing Moshuang, Wei Shanshan and He Tai, who had just left the Sky Screen.

The Sky Market City seemed much more crowded than usual.

“What's going on?” He Tai stopped walking the moment he entered the Sky Market City and stared in a daze at the ruins not far away.

“What's wrong, Senior Brother He Tai?” asked Wei Shanshan hastily.

Among the three of them, Jing Moshuang had the highest cultivation level. She was at the third-stage Golden Core Realm, halfway to the mid-stage Golden Core Realm. He Tai's cultivation level was below Jing Moshuang's, as he was at the ninth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Wei Shanshan was at the sixth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

“These ruins used to be the Qi Family's Commercial Building in the Sky Market City. Who was so courageous as to attack the Qi Family's Commercial Building and reduce it to ruins?”

Jing Moshuang and Wei Shanshan, who were disciples of the Galaxy Sect, had been hiding ever since the Galaxy Sect had been exterminated by the Qi Family. Thus, they did not know that Di Jiu had exterminated the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings.

“Daoist Di came out of seclusion, destroyed the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings in the Sky Market City and the Thorn Ocean City and killed two Void Spirit Realm Experts and 10 Essence Soul Realm experts of the Qi Family. The Qi Family's Commercial Building is now a thing of the past!” A cultivator standing not far away laughed when he overheard what He Tai had said.

“What?” He Tai asked hurriedly. “Senior Di exterminated the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings? Senior Di who?” Although he hoped that this Senior Di was Di Jiu, he knew that this was not quite possible.

“Senior Di Jiu, of course. How can you not know this? This is a great disrespect to Senior Di Jiu!” snorted the cultivator, who was not satisfied with He Tai's answer. Then, he turned and left immediately.

This had really been Big Brother Di Jiu's doing? He Tai hurriedly stopped the cultivator and said apologetically, “I just came out of reclusive cultivation, so I still don't know a lot of things. May I ask if this Di Jiu was the same Di Jiu who used to be a disciple of the Galaxy Sect?”

The cultivator, who sensed He Tai's sincerity, nodded his head. “That's right, he was. So many years have passed since the Night Star Continent was split into the Polar Night Continent and the Half-Screen Continent. Senior Di was very benevolent. He fearlessly and resourcefully merged the two continents. Every cultivator is grateful for his actions.”

“The Qi Family's Commercial Building had monopolized the market, yet their actions were unrestrained and tyrannical. They even dared act against Senior Di's home sect, the Galaxy Sect. This angered Senior Di, who wiped the Qi Family's Commercial Buildings from the surface of the continent and killed all the Qi Family's experts. The Qi Family's Commercial Building exists no more.”

He Tai, Jing Moshuang and Wei Shanshan were all stunned by this news.

Di Jiu was still alive. However, what they found unbelievable was that Di Jiu had been powerful enough to repair the continent. What level of cultivation was he at? None of them would have believed this news if they had not seen the ruins of the Qi Family's Commercial Building personally.

After a long while, He Tai said excitedly, “Sister-in-law, the Qi Family's Commercial Building was exterminated by Big Brother Di. Big Brother Di is fine…”

He Tai felt a blind reverence towards Di Jiu. If he thought this through carefully, he would realize how powerful one needed to be in order to repair a continent. However, He Tai did not think too much about this.

He felt that anything was possible with Di Jiu.

Jing Moshuang did not know what to do. She had admitted that she was Di Jiu's wife back when he had died. However, Di Jiu was actually still alive, and his strength was frightening enough that he had avenged the Galaxy Sect and repaired the Night Star Continent. This was…

Would it be a joke if she continued to say that she was Di Jiu's wife?

“Senior Sister Moshuang, I've heard people say that a true husband and wife would not abandon each other regardless of their wealth. You are Big Brother Di's wife, so he would never abandon you. Even though Big Brother Di is ambitious, we promised that we would rebuild the Galaxy Sect!” After her experiences during the past few years, Wei Shanshan was no longer the little girl who had entered the sect. She immediately saw through Jing Moshuang's concerns and offered her some advice.

“You are Di Jiu's wife? Do you know where Di Jiu is right now?” a voice near them suddenly asked. The three of them looked around abruptly and saw a tanned short man standing beside them.

“I am Junior Jing Moshuang, sir. We do not know where Senior Brother Di is. We only came here to save two of his friends.” Jing Moshuang bowed hastily. When her Spiritual Force landed on the short man, she only sensed a vast, boundless ocean. The man's cultivation level was obviously much stronger than hers.

The short man nodded his head. “I'm also searching for Daoist Di Jiu. Why don't we cooperate? I will help save whoever you guys want to save and then you can help me search for Di Jiu. How does this sound?”
