Slowly …
The door opens.
Di Nai sees that 3 of the 4 soul jade slips on the top of the counter have already been broken. The soul jade slips representing his last 3 brothers have all been broken. At this moment, Di Nai calms down instead. He slowly walks into the room then performs a mudra to close the door.
Standing alone in front of the ancient wooden counter, he looks at the 3 broken soul jade slips.
The 9 Purple Demon aquatic dragons have been hiding here and there in the dangerous underwater Xiuyao world ever since they were young. They have either killed people for their belongings or fled for their lives. But the 9 brothers have always supported each other. Their brotherhood even surpasses their own lives.
Of the 9 brothers, 8 are dead and 1 is left.
"Ha-ha …" Di Nai laughs in a low voice. His laughter is very soft and low. Afterwards, his face is unexpectedly full of smiles. "Brothers, in the past, us 9 brothers were able to move unhindered in the underwater Xiuyao world. How glorious that was. Now you've all passed away. I'm the only one left in this world."
Di Nai sits down casually. A wine bottle appears in his hand out of thin air. He then drinks a mouthful of wine and says slowly to the broken soul jade slips: "Brothers, we've never suffered a big loss in so many years. A few years ago, 8th brother died."
Di Nai frowns. At that time, Di Tong's death gave rise to a series of events. The 9 brothers also died one after another.
"8th brother died. Then 2nd brother also died. Afterwards, on the black rock island, 3 brothers died one after another. In just a few years, 5 brothers died one after another. But even though we knew the murderers were Hou Fei and Qin Yu, we were afraid of that loose immortal so we didn't dare to get into action. But we couldn't avenge our brothers' deaths. Every time I think of this, I feel as if a knife is being twisted in my heart. "
Di Nai's breathing starts to tremble. He then drinks another mouthful of wine.
"But today … the remaining 3 brothers are also dead. Dead, all dead … The glory of the 9 brothers is still vaguely in front of me. Now I'm the only one left. I … look around the world but I don't have any brothers left."
After saying so, Di Nai slowly drinks the wine without saying anything else. Di Nai's face, which is enjoying the wine, unexpectedly has a hint of relaxation. It is an expression of complete indifference. At the moment, Di Nai is completely different from the past.
To the 9 brothers, brothers are the biggest fetters.
When all his brothers are dead, what else can restrain Di Nai?
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes. His eight brothers are all dead so Di Nai is basically 'barefoot'.
Di Nai stands up. Looking at the broken soul jade slip, he gives a brilliant smile!
"Brothers, now that you're all dead, I don't care anymore. Back then, I didn't dare to deal with Qin Yu because I was worried that the other brothers would be implicated. Now that I'm the only one left in this world, I don't have to worry about anything. From today onwards, Old Ninth will definitely live well. Brothers, don't worry. Those murderers … don't even think about living peacefully. "
The coldness in Di Nai's eyes seems to come from the Nine Hells.
Afterwards, Di Nai walks out of the place where the soul jade slips are stored.
What kind of enemy was the most terrifying? It wasn't someone who was crazy and bloodthirsty, but someone who didn't care about anything at all. Moreover, he was clear-headed and calm, with only the goal of revenge in his heart. This kind of enemy was the most terrifying.
In the past, the people from the Nine Spirits Hall still had some reservations because of the other brothers. However, now the eight brothers are dead, leaving only Di Nai. Naturally he had no reservations. The most dangerous thing was that after going through such a drastic change and suffering such a blow, Di Nai not only did not go crazy, he instead became even calmer and clear-headed than before.
Perhaps, he could also be called 'gloomy and cold'.

At the moment, in the Wilderness on the Qian Long continent,
"My fellow Xiuzhenists, now that we all know where the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion is, when will we open it?" Reverend Yan Xu looks around at everybody and asks.
Yan Mo says frowningly: "When will it open? The Qian Long continent is about 200 million li away from the Golden Tree Island. Given the normal speed of early Kongming stage experts, it'll take them about a year to get there. But we can't be sure about the power of the people you'll send out and the time is also uncertain … "
Yi Da says coldly: "In a year and a half, my Purple Flame Devilish Dungeon's men will definitely arrive at the Golden Tree Island."
"If they want to arrive at the Golden Tree Island, it'll take them 3 years." Yan Mo's words astound everybody.
"Yan Mo, given your speed, perhaps you'll be able to arrive there in a month or two. Why do you still need 3 years?" Azure Dragon asks. Naturally he can guess how fast Yan Mo's speed is. If he flies at full speed, a month will be enough.
Yan Mo says with a nod: "After a while, Hong Luan will have to undergo her 6-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation and Long Yan will probably have to undergo his 6-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation too. It's better to relax a bit."
"3 years it is." Qin Yu says with a nod.
Hou Fei has already undergone his 6-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation and Xiao Hei will undergo his tribulation in half a year so Qin Yu is not in a hurry to open that Nine Swords Immortal Mansion right away.
"All right, then let's do it this way. After 3 years, we'll meet on the Golden Tree Island then enter the Chaotic Astral Ocean together to open the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion. What do you think?" Yan Mo says while looking around at everybody.
They have already waited for so many years so nobody will be in a hurry to wait 3 years. Moreover, opening the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion requires 9 jade swords. Without any one of them, it cannot be opened. Everybody has their own jade sword so naturally they will not worry about others opening it ahead of time.
Immediately, Reverend Yan Xu, Yi Da, Qin Yu, Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed all agree to this matter. After this matter has been discussed, everybody prepares to leave.
However, when they are about to part, suddenly —
"Oh, brother Qin Yu, I want to remind you of something." He suddenly says to Qin Yu.
"Oh, what's the matter, brother Yan Mo?" Qin Yu asks smilingly.
Yan Mo asks in reply: "Brother Qin Yu, I killed the 3 Di Long brothers. Could it be you didn't think what the result would be? As far as I know, you and Hou Fei once killed several brothers of the Nine Spirits Hall. Now only Di Nai remains in the Nine Spirits Hall. "
Qin Yu's face changes color at once.
Just now when they were talking about the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion, even though the 3 Di Nai brothers were killed, Qin Yu only thought that they were killed by Yan Mo. Given Yan Mo's power, it is impossible for Di Nai to take revenge. Qin Yu did not think too much about anything else.
However, now that Yan Mo has mentioned it, Qin Yu finds that the situation is not good.
"This Yan Mo killed the 3 Di Nai brothers. Now only Di Nai remains in the Nine Spirits Hall. At that time the 4 Di Nai brothers didn't dare to take revenge on Faye and me because they were worried about the lives of their brothers. But now it's hard to say. "Qin Yu frowns deeply.
"Di Nai's power is ordinary so he can't kill Faye and me. But … father still has big brother and second brother!"
At the moment Qin Yu has a bad feeling.
Di Long and the others all know about the identities of his father and the others. At that time they did not dare to harm his relatives, but now only Di Nai remains. That is not necessarily the case.
"Qin Yu, you're really stupid. Why did you completely reveal your identity at that time?" Qin Yu scolds himself angrily in his mind.
It's just that at that time Qin Yu thought that the Nine Spirits Hall would definitely not dare to harm his relatives without permission. Therefore, he acted without any scruples. Moreover, now that he has returned to the Qin dynasty to be with his relatives, given the power of Di Long and the others, they will definitely find out. Therefore, he will not be able to conceal it.
"Yan Mo, you killed the 3 Di Nai brothers and made me the scapegoat." Qin Yu says bitterly.
Yan Mo says with an innocent expression: "Brother Qin Yu, can you blame me for this? Don't worry, I won't make you the scapegoat. I'll have someone spread the news right away, saying that the 3 Di Nai brothers were killed by me. What do you think? "
Qin Yu lets out a sigh.
Even if Di Nai knows that Yan Mo killed his 3 brothers, what can he do?
This Yan Mo is even stronger than Azure Dragon. Now that he has killed the 3 Di Nai brothers, Di Nai won't even have the slightest chance of revenge. Perhaps Di Nai won't set his sights on Yan Mo, who has no chance of success. He will most likely make trouble for his relatives.
"Qin Yu, don't worry. From now on, the Nine Spirits Hall will no longer exist in the underwater Xiuyao world. I'll have someone send an order directly to the caves under the command of the Nine Spirits Hall, telling them that only Di Nai is left in the Nine Spirits Hall. From now on, the Nine Spirits Hall is done for. Those caves will be divided among us as we wish." Azure Dragon says directly.
Old Freak Three-Eyed also says with a nod: "Now the underwater Xiuyao world only has the Blue Dragon Temple, the Blue River Province and the Stellar Tower. The Nine Spirits Hall is no more. "
Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed's words have pronounced the end of the Nine Spirits Hall.
"I'll send some guardians of the Blue Dragon Temple to go after that Di Nai. Now as long as he is killed, he will definitely not be able to threaten the safety of your relatives." Azure Dragon immediately sees clearly what Qin Yu is worried about.
Old Freak Three-Eyed also gives the same guarantee.
"Brother Azure Dragon, Great Ancestor, thank you." A hint of coldness flashes through Qin Yu's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Yu takes a look at everybody: "Now that the matter of the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion has been settled, we'll have to wait for 3 years to gather on the Golden Tree Island. I have a request. No Xiuyaoists are allowed to enter the territory of the Qin dynasty. "
"From now on, any Xiuyaoists who don't belong to our Stellar Tower who enter the Qin dynasty will be killed without exception." Qin Yu says in a cold voice.
Qin Yu says to everybody: "Brother Azure Dragon, Great Ancestor, Yan Mo, I just want to give everybody a warning in advance. I think that hysterical Di Nai will definitely come here with a large number of troops. Given the power of the Nine Spirits Hall, they definitely have a group of loyal subordinates. I absolutely can't make any mistakes. "
"All right, that's no problem at all. The matter of the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion has been settled for the time being. I'm also going back to the Blue Dragon Temple. Moreover, those people I brought here have all been killed by Yan Mo's troops. "Azure Dragon says at once.
Old Freak Three-Eyed also says with a nod: "The matter has been settled. I'm also going back to the Blue River Province. I'll take all the troops of the Blue River Province back with me. Brother Qin Yu, you can kill all the Xiuyaoists who enter the Qin dynasty. "Old Freak Three-Eyed also supports Qin Yu.
"Don't worry. The demonic beasts of the Wilderness won't enter the territory of mortals for no reason. Moreover, I'll also issue a strict order. Even if you don't kill those who violate the order, I'll still kill them. "
Thanks to these 3 people's assurances, Qin Yu no longer has any misgivings.
"Thank you, everybody. This matter is very important so I can't waste even a little bit of time. I'm leaving now." Qin Yu salutes everybody with folded hands and says.
"Take care." Everybody present knows how anxious Qin Yu is at the moment.
Afterwards, Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Kuroh directly fly extremely fast towards the Qin dynasty.
"Azure Dragon, Three-Eyed, help me spread the news that those 3 Di Nai were killed by me. Maybe that Di Nai will really be stupid enough to attack me. If that happens, I'll be doing Qin Yu a small favor." He says to Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed.
*****
In the Qinglin Garden in the imperial palace of the Qin dynasty,
On a stone table under a willow tree, there are crisscrossing lines on a chessboard. A scholarly old man in a black scholar's robe is holding a feather fan and a middle-aged man in a blue gown with a long beard is sitting there. The 2 of them are sitting opposite to each other, quietly playing Go. Fengyuzi, however, is sitting on one side, quietly watching the game.
After pondering for a long time, that middle-aged man in a blue gown says smilingly: "Xu Yuan, your Go skills are becoming more and more exquisite."
This scholarly old man with a black feather fan is none other than Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan is different from Qin De because he has not made great achievements in practice. Now he is nearly 60 years old and has already shown signs of old age.
"Don't praise me, Retired Emperor. In terms of Go skills, I'm far inferior to that Miss Li 'er." Xu Yuan says with a sigh. "I didn't expect that after wandering outside for more than 10 years, I'd be able to come back and see such a wonderful woman."
In the past, the Xiang clan was destroyed and the Qin dynasty was established.
This meritorious official, Xu Yuan, later resigned from his position and began to travel around the world. For more than 10 years, Xu Yuan has taken his servants to go on a scenic tour all over the country. Recently, Xu Yuan has also just returned. Not long after he arrived, he met Qin De.
Even though Qin De and Xu Yuan are master and servant, in fact they are like brothers.
"Li Er? Ha-ha, Xu Yuan, it seems you've also heard about Li Er's reputation while traveling outside. "Qin De says with a clear laugh.
"Do you even need to say it, Retired Emperor? Miss Li 'er has defeated the capital's Go saint in succession. She has even defeated the Titans of the Go world one by one. Miss Li' er's reputation, especially in the Go world, is known by everyone. Even if I'm at the ends of the world, Miss Li 'er's reputation will still reverberate like thunder in my ears. "Xu Yuan says in a clear voice.
Qin De looks at Xu Yuan's appearance. After a long time, he says with a sigh: "In the past, Yu 'er went to Misty Villa when he was 6 years old. In the blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed. You were young at that time but now your hair has turned somewhat white. "
When Qin Yu was 6 years old, Xu Yuan was still very young.
"In the past 10 years or so, I've also tried to find you. But you were traveling outside so I didn't have any news about you. I don't know if there are still some Foundation-Building Pills left from last time that Yu 'er refined. Even though you haven't practiced Cultivation, after taking them, you'll still have longevity. "Qin De says with a smile.
Right at this moment, 3 afterimages flash.
Soon after, Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Kuroh appear in front of Qin De and the other two people.
Seeing Qin Yu, Qin De immediately stands up. Xu Yuan beside him also stands up.
"Yu 'er, this is your Uncle Xu. Your Uncle Xu has also just finished traveling for more than 10 years." While Qin De is talking, Xu Yuan waves his feather fan and says calmly with a smile: "Xiao Yu, looking at your expression, it seems something big has happened. Tell me about it."
