Di Jiu smiled. “Senior Sister Cao, do you think I need a woman to protect me?”

Even if he perished, Di Jiu wouldn’t allow Cao Xi to be sacrificed to the Heavenly Witch River. He didn’t make a habit of needing women to protect him. Fortunately, after he derived his first Spiritual Force a few days later, all his problems would be easily solved.

Cao Xi smiled indifferently. “I said that because I know you very well. I believe you also know where this place is. If I’m alone here, not only will I have to be humiliated, but I will also die here eventually. In that case, let me make a decision early.”

Di Jiu was stunned. Just as Cao Xi had said, if she was alone, she would live a life worse than death. Since she was a pure Daoist, after she lost her cultivation, she wouldn’t have a powerful combat power.

Cao Xi walked over to Di Jiu and embraced him lightly before she said gently, “I never planned to live in tranquility. Since Heaven wants me to be sacrificed to the Heavenly Witch River, I’m actually very calm deep down. However, you have to derive your first Spiritual Force as soon as possible. Otherwise, the second blood sacrifice will approach soon.”

After she said that, Cao Xi removed a piece of jade from her waist and put it in Di Jiu’s hands. Then, she turned toward the group who was going to be a blood sacrifice voluntarily.

As Di Jiu held the warm jade in his hands, his consciousness went blank. This was the first time he understood that even if he cultivated to the ultimate, he would still be helpless in certain situations.

At the moment, he suddenly understood Du Bu’s way of thinking.

If he was the ruler of this universe, how could he let such a thing happen?

This wouldn’t do. Even though he wasn’t the ruler of this universe, he definitely couldn’t let such a thing happen. Di Jiu suddenly woke up and immediately rushed out. However, besides the groups of strong soldiers, there was no sign of Cao Xi whatsoever.

He sighed, as he knew that Cao Xi had already become a blood sacrifice.

Clenching his fists tightly, he swore that he had to gain insight into the Heavenly Witch Realm’s Dao force law in the shortest time possible.

Regardless of how many people were around him, Di Jiu closed his eyes. His consciousness was once again immersed into gaining insight into the Heaven Earth Law there.

The burden of being a blood sacrifice made all the people constructing the Heavenly Witch River stay silent. Furthermore, countless captives and soldiers of the Great Wing Tribe had been swept away by the Heavenly Witch River’s torrent. Hence, an unprecedented silence filled the place.

Crack! After some time, Di Jiu sensed a shackle open on him and his eyes lit up. Then, he felt relaxed all over as though a lamp had been illuminated deep in his soul. Everything became clear.

Di Jiu suddenly stood up and looked at the long river before his eyes in shock. The long river seemed to have swept over from the horizon across everyone’s heads, yet there seemed to be wind around them.

The faint light of the river against the sky looked like starlight.

This was the Heavenly Witch River? Before seeing the Heavenly Witch River clearly, he had found it a little unrealistic. After he had a clear look, it seemed even more unrealistic.

“The blood sacrifice is over! Everyone will continue to construct the Heavenly Witch River! For the next blood sacrifice, we’ll use all the lazy people!” the Great Wing Tribe’s chief once again roared.

Di Jiu took a long breath and controlled the impulse to make a move.

If he made a move now, he wouldn’t be able to save Cao Xi. Moreover, if he made a move with the strong soldiers around, given the trace of Spiritual Force he had just derived, it could lead to an internecine outcome eventually and he might be at a disadvantage.

As if nothing had happened, the remaining captives continued to carry huge stones, dig soil, and construct the Heavenly Witch River despite the whips and stone arrows thrown at them.

Unlike before, after witnessing the Heavenly Witch River’s bank burst and watching the blood sacrifice, all the captives were clearly numb. Or rather, the number of captives had decreased. The Great Wing Tribe’s soldiers didn’t have a habit of killing captives casually like they had done before.

Since he had seen the Heavenly Witch River, Di Jiu knew how these people were constructing it. They were carrying pieces of stones and putting them below the Heavenly Witch River, piling soil around the stones before they piled stones above the soil.

Di Jiu shook his head speechlessly. He didn’t understand the use of doing all this. If the Heavenly Witch River’s bank burst, a wall built by huge stone piles would be totally useless.

However, Di Jiu believed Cao Xi’s judgment and agreed that the Heavenly Witch River was the Escapee Dao law. Therefore, he was gaining insight into the Heaven Earth Law and his Spiritual Force was getting stronger each moment.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. What Cao Xi was worried about happened again. In order to prevent the Heavenly Witch River’s bank from bursting again, the Great Wing Tribe decided to offer some of the captives as blood sacrifice for the second time.

Di Jiu stopped moving stones, feeling that his strength was enough. At the moment, his Spiritual Force could even scan the edge of the Great Wing Tribe’s stone city in the distance. The Great Wing Tribe’s soldiers were strong at best. As long as there weren’t any special experts, Di Jiu believed that he could now scan the entire Great Wing Tribe.

Captives were led away by the soldiers of the Great Wing Tribe one by one, but Di Jiu didn’t move. He didn’t have a good impression of these captives. When these people went crazy, they could do anything.

“You’re alone. Why aren’t you coming over?” A strong soldier of the Great Wing Tribe walked over and pointed at Di Jiu’s nose.

Di Jiu didn’t answer him. He only looked at the Heavenly Witch River that was connected to the sky. He decided that after he killed the Great Wing Tribe, he would start to refine the Heavenly Witch River. Regardless of whether the Heavenly Witch River was the Escapee, he had to refine it first.

No matter what, he couldn’t let Du Bu find the Escapee.

“You must have a death wish! Drag him over! Cut him into 49 blood sacrifices for the Heavenly Witch River.” When this soldier saw that Di Jiu had ignored him, he bellowed furiously. He called his partner over and raised his hand to grab Di Jiu’s arm.

Di Jiu opened his palm and the Heavenly Aqua Saber landed on it. Then, the Heavenly Aqua Saber turned into a blade flare. The soldier was turned into 49 pieces thanks to the Heavenly Aqua Saber’s blade flare and was sprinkled on the ground alongside some bloodstains.

When two soldiers who had wanted to rush forward to attack Di Jiu saw this bloody scene, they stopped in their tracks.

Without even moving, Di Jiu made his Heavenly Aqua Saber once again sweep over. Two more corpses landed on the ground.

At that moment, the blood sacrifice captives and the soldiers of the Great Wing Tribe who were detaining them were completely stunned.

They had never seen a sharp blade like the Heavenly Aqua Saber. However, that was not the point. The point was that someone had dared to kill the soldiers of the Great Wing Tribe, which was simply insane.

The chief of the Great Wing Tribe finally came back to his senses and roared. He took out a metal spear and signaled to thousands of soldiers to rush toward Di Jiu.

Without moving, Di Jiu executed a Sky Screen Saber Move with his Heavenly Aqua Saber.

Even though these thousands of soldiers were strong, they were like paper when they faced Di Jiu’s Sky Screen Saber Move. Except for the chief, who had a metal spear, nobody else was left.

The chief, who rushed over to Di Jiu, held the metal spear and looked in a daze at all the fallen soldiers on his side. His mouth was half-open, and there was horror in his eyes and his facial expression. Who was he? Why was he so formidable? Could he be the God of the Heavenly Witch River?

“Do you know why I’ll be killing you last?” Di Jiu walked over to the chief.

The chief of the Great Wing Tribe subconsciously shook his head.

“Because you made my friend a blood sacrifice. Thus, before I kill you, I want to tell you that you will die more miserably than everyone else…”

After he said that, Di Jiu threw a ball of flame over, causing the Great Wing Tribe’s chief to scream mournfully. When countless captives saw how terrifying Di Jiu was, they frantically fled out.

Before the captives could flee several kilometers away, they were chased back by even more soldiers of the Great Wing Tribe.

Thanks to Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force, at least tens of thousands of strong soldiers from the Great Wing Tribe rushed over to him.
