Chapter 1365: Chapter 666. Rather Than Picking a Day, Might as Well Bump into One
Chapter 666
Upon hearing the news, Di Lanshan was slightly stupefied, and after inquiring closely with the people beside him, he realized that the two of them had actually gone to Luohua Valley. Then, thinking of the Thunder Tribulation from the direction of Luohua Valley a while ago, Di Lanshan helplessly smiled, instructed his people to comfort the families of the two men, and decided to let the matter rest…
Some people within the Di Clan who had better relations with the two asked Di Lanshan what happened. He simply replied, “If you don’t court death, you won’t die,” and said no more, leaving everyone confused…
Di Lanshan then gathered the old men who heeded Di Chen’s words at his residence, looked at the nine old men around him, and said, “You must have guessed what happened tonight. Those two likely intended to take advantage of the Young Madam’s pill refining and Crossing Tribulation to rob her amidst the chaos. Unfortunately, they were annihilated by the Young Madam! I called you here to decide to make a trip to Luohua Valley and see if the Young Madam is injured. Their deaths were their own doing, but if the Young Madam were to be inadvertently harmed, it would be our Di Clan’s fault. We couldn’t even explain it to our ancestors…”
Upon hearing Di Lanshan’s words, the old men were all stunned. Although they sided with Di Chen, they only followed his words alone. As for Mo Jiuli, because of all the benefits she received that did not involve their Di Clan, they felt somewhat bitter inside…
Yet, with Di Chen favoring Mo Jiuli, all they could do was stand by indifferently, neither interfering nor taking sides! Before this, they thought Di Lanshan shared the same stance as them. Why had he suddenly changed?
Seeing the puzzled looks in their eyes, Di Lanshan, unable to help but smile, said, “I know you are curious why I suddenly changed, referring to Mo Jiuli as the Young Madam, and wanting to visit her in Luohua Valley. The reason is simple. Our Patriarch of the Di Clan and his wife have disappeared, and though our ancestor is powerful, he cares not for the Di Clan! As for the Young Master’s disposition, we old fellows haven’t had much contact with him, only seen him a few times. He married Mo Jiuli and left behind a daughter, and even our ancestor treated Mo Jiuli so favorably. Think about Mo Jiuli’s place in the Young Master’s heart! According to my calculations, the Young Master should have been able to return by now, but he has yet to do so. I suspect that the Young Master initially used his own strength to help Mo Jiuli ascend to the Upperworld first! Otherwise, with Mo Jiuli being only in her twenties, let alone in the Underworld, even in the Hidden Clan of the Haotian Continent, it’s unlikely for someone in their twenties to ascend to the Upperworld…”
Everyone suddenly understood upon hearing his explanation. Yes, Mo Jiuli was only in her twenties. Even if her talents in pill refining and artifact refinement were heaven-defying…
But isn’t cultivation a long-term endeavor? How could she have cultivated enough to ascend in her twenties in such a barren place in the Underworld? That’s simply impossible!
“Elder Shan makes a good point. We indeed should go to Luohua Valley and check on the Young Madam! Emotionally, she is our Young Madam, and logically, if she bears a grudge against our Di Clan because of those two men, that would truly be a loss not worth the gain!” One of the old men nodded and said.
The rest also felt that Di Lanshan made sense, and eventually, they decisively chose the day and time, setting out for Luohua Valley in the deep of night…
