Di Jiang Takes Action!

Towering mountain ranges stretched endlessly into the clouds.

Amid the ravines between the mountains.

"ROAR!!!"

The deafening roar scattered even the clouds across the sky.

A ferocious beast resembling a tiger, with wings upon its shoulders, flew out from the ravine. It opened its enormous, savage maw and lunged at the tiny figure in the sky.

It vowed to swallow him whole!

"This ferocious beast has the cultivation of a Perfected Golden Immortal."

"Unfortunately, it has no intelligence."

The figure slowly shook his head and murmured to himself.

Then, he casually waved a hand, and immense spatial power spread out like an ocean.

With a thunderous boom, it crashed directly onto the ferocious beast.

A miserable shriek rang out as the beast's body exploded into a rain of blood, which scattered over the ground below. Many living beings hurriedly absorbed the essence of its flesh and blood.

Someone who wielded spatial power with such mastery—

Aside from Yang Mei, the Space Demon God in Chaos who had fled far from the Primordial World—

There was naturally only one being in the entire Primordial World famed for the Dao of Space: the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang.

That was right!

The figure before them was none other than Di Jiang, who had left Pangu Hall to travel through the Primordial World.

At this moment.

Di Jiang nodded in satisfaction and said:

"After cultivating the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique, both my body and Primordial Spirit have reached the realm of a Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. I am merely one step away from breaking through to a Chaos Golden Immortal—or rather, a Quasi-Sage."

"Furthermore, my control over the Dao of Space has become increasingly effortless."

Along his journey, he had encountered quite a few cultivators and ferocious beasts harboring ill intent.

Yet he had casually slain them all, becoming ever more proficient in his control of the Dao of Space.

Of course, he had also obtained many heavenly treasures along the way, though Di Jiang had stored them all away.

Now that he possessed a Primordial Spirit, he could naturally use these spirit treasures.

Still, his strongest weapon remained his own Ancestral Witch body.

With that thought, Di Jiang continued flying forward.

Just then.

An intense fluctuation of spiritual energy caught his attention.

"What is this?"

Di Jiang's expression stiffened slightly. With a thought, he flew toward the source.

Before long, he arrived at the place where the spiritual energy fluctuated.

Three people were fighting.

More precisely, two were besieging one.

"Hong Yun!"

Di Jiang recognized the besieged man, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

He then turned and looked at the other two.

The two attackers were both clad in black robes, wielding a branch and a treasure banner.

They unleashed powerful attacks upon Hong Yun.

Their killing moves came one after another. They clearly intended to kill Hong Yun here.

"Who wants to kill Hong Yun?"

Di Jiang furrowed his brows and pondered inwardly.

The Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror within his sea of consciousness emitted a radiance that gathered in Di Jiang's eyes. His gaze immediately pierced through the illusion, revealing the true faces of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

"So it is the two disgraces of the Western Lands?"

Di Jiang considered why Jie Yin and Zhun Ti wanted to kill Hong Yun.

He quickly understood.

"It seems the two disgraces of the Western Lands also know that the karmic debt from yielding seats at Zixiao Palace cannot be underestimated."

"They now want to settle that karma as soon as possible!"

A cold smile appeared on Di Jiang's lips as he muttered:

"Truly the style of the two disgraces of the Western Lands!"

"It seems they had pursued Hong Yun many times in my previous life as well."

"They only truly succeeded in the end."

According to the course of events, after the two disgraces of the Western Lands became Saints, they would join forces with Ming He, Kunpeng, and others to kill Hong Yun in order to settle their karma with him.

As Di Jiang pondered this.

Hong Yun's situation in the distance became increasingly perilous.

He narrowly escaped danger time and again.

Yet because Hong Yun had been caught off guard.

He had already sustained considerable injuries.

If this continued.

Hong Yun would perish here completely.

Sure enough.

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, disguised as men in black, felt that they could delay no longer.

Without hesitation, they unleashed the cultivation of Mid-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

A killing move was born!

It came crashing down upon Hong Yun.

Despair appeared on Hong Yun's face.

Just as Jie Yin and Zhun Ti believed their karmic debt would finally be settled.

Suddenly.

Vast spatial power spread out.

A pair of four-winged wings appeared in the void.

The wings beat fiercely in an instant, stirring up Spatial Turbulence that transformed into hundreds of millions of silver blade rays sweeping across heaven and earth. Wherever they passed, the void itself seemed on the verge of shattering.

Such power could carve countless cracks even into the defenses of a Primordial Spirit Treasure, ultimately reducing it to dust.

"Who is it?!"

Jie Yin's expression changed drastically as he activated the treasure banner in his hand and sent it crashing forward.

But the terrifying Spatial Turbulence directly tore apart the attack from his treasure banner.

It struck him viciously.

Jie Yin was sent flying straight back, spitting out golden blood. The golden blood dispersed through the air, transforming into pure Gengjin Essence that scattered away.

"Senior Brother!"

Zhun Ti was greatly shocked and hurriedly looked around.

The Spatial Turbulence also descended upon him. He swung the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree, sending out beams of divine light in an attempt to block it.

But his cultivation was insufficient. He too let out a miserable cry and was sent flying.

Naturally, Di Jiang was the one who had acted.

Di Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at them with a cold smile on his face.

Hong Yun, having narrowly escaped death, immediately broke into a delighted smile when he saw Di Jiang.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jiang!"

Di Jiang turned to Hong Yun and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, are you all right?"

Hong Yun shook his head.

"I'm fine!"

"I have Fellow Daoist to thank for saving my life."

"Fellow Daoist has already saved me twice!"

Di Jiang shook his head.

"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun is blessed by fortune and naturally protected by destiny."

Hong Yun was just about to continue speaking.

But Di Jiang said:

"Fellow Daoist, do you intend to let them leave?"

He pointed toward Jie Yin and Zhun Ti in the distance.

At this moment, when Jie Yin and Zhun Ti saw that Di Jiang was the one who had intervened, their expressions beneath their face coverings changed dramatically, and they were already thinking of retreating.

Zhun Ti transmitted his voice:

"Senior Brother, Di Jiang has intervened! We are no match for him. Leave at once!"

Jie Yin nodded and transmitted back with hostility:

"Why is it Di Jiang again?"

"Damn it! Leave immediately!"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through their minds.

They prepared to flee swiftly.

Just then.

A deep, powerful voice rang out.

"You injured my worthy brother Hong Yun!"

"Do not think of fleeing, you villains!"

Zhen Yuanzi, who had sensed the situation and rushed over, shouted with a grim expression.

Then, he curled his five fingers.

In an instant, the earth roared and trembled. Hundreds of millions of hazy yellow earth-element spiritual currents surged from the depths of the ground, transforming into sky-filling earthen-yellow runes.

"Heaven and earth, dark and yellow; earth bears all things—rise!"

His voice boomed like a great bell. Light flashed in his palm as the phantom of the Earth Book emerged.

The land within a thousand li suddenly rose up, forming countless colossal earthen-yellow hands that descended like ancient mountain ranges. Thick Earth Law was contained within their palms.

They slammed down viciously upon Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti shouted sharply, "Zhen Yuanzi!!"

Boom!

The two cried out miserably and were sent flying.

Using the momentum of their flight, they seized the chance to flee toward the Western Lands.

Zhen Yuanzi put away the Earth Book, came to Hong Yun's side, and asked:

"These two villains are quite powerful! Hong Yun, are you all right?"

Hong Yun shook his head to indicate that he was fine, then told him everything that had just happened.

Only then.

Did Zhen Yuanzi notice Di Jiang standing nearby. Gratitude filled his face as he clasped his fists and said:

"Fellow Daoist Di Jiang! Thank you for saving my worthy brother Hong Yun once again."

"If not for you, Hong Yun would likely have perished here."

Upon hearing Hong Yun recount what had happened, he could not help feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

At the same time, he felt immense gratitude toward Di Jiang.
