965 The Arrival of Ku Ji (1/2)
Besides, Mo Wen's speed was accelerated due to the help of the three Glory techniques. It was not a release technique that he had mastered. If one only took into account release techniques, Mo Wen could be considered a newbie. Without the three Glory techniques, Mo Wen was weaker than ordinary beginning stage Primordial Soul Realm practitioners.
Hence, Mo Wen needed to practice a powerful release technique now. If he mastered a release technique, combined with the help of the three Glory techniques, Mo Wen's speed would most likely increase by a few folds.
However, Mo Wen did not have access to any release technique that he could practice, and it likely wouldn't be simple to acquire a good release technique.
...
Two weeks before, after Mo Wen escaped, it took only two days for Ku Ji to reach Li'an City. Ku Ji intended to meet up with Mo Wen, yet he received the news that Mo Wen had escaped from the city due to a kill chase.
”What are you talking about?”
In the main mansion of Li'an City, Ku Ji sat on the master seat. He was surrounded by officers and generals from Li'an City; even Zhang Huishan was present. However, no one dared to sit. All of them stood respectfully in the hall.
Ku Ji put on a cold expression while his piercing gazes scanned everyone. His terrifying aura caused the people to shiver. The aura of a strong practitioner who had achieved great attainment at the Primordial Soul realm was more terrifying than a flood or a ferocious beast. Not to mention Ku Ji was a veteran cultivator with great attainment at the Primordial Soul Realm.
”Lord Ku Ji, the Blood Evil Temple was targeting the youth for some unknown reason. According to their words, they were purging evil and defending righteousness. They came with a killing intent from far away.”
Zhang Huishan bowed his body, with sweat covering his forehead. He had not expected that it had only been two days and a dignified Huatian Palace Executor came to Li'an City personally. Besides, from the looks of it, Ku Ji seemed to not be here to capture Mo Wen.
”Purging evil and defending righteousness? What a fancy excuse the Blood Evil Temple has come up with,” Ku Ji coldly snorted as his gaze turned icy cold. In the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, it was understandable for others to not know Mo Wen's identity. Could it be that even the Blood Evil Temple, who had attended the Dragon City Martial Arts Circle Convention, did not know who he was?
The Blood Evil Temple was seeking revenge privately. They intended to use this excuse to eliminate Mo Wen.
”This Blood Evil Temple is practically tired of living.”
Ku Ji was well-aware that Mo Wen was supported by Mo Qingge and her sibling, Mo Qingtian. Both of them were not figures to be trifled with. Since the Blood Evil Temple was at odds with Mo Wen, they would sooner or later face bad luck.
The officers from Xiping were all as quiet as cicadas in cold weather. All of them lowered their heads and none of them spoke. The Huatian Palace minister was someone noble. They rarely had a chance to meet people like him. However, the minister was burning with rage in front of them now.
Zhang Huishan was feeling utter regret now. If he knew that Mo Wen had such a strong background, he would not have stayed out of the dispute the other day. Regardless of how domineering the Blood Evil Temple was or whether Zhang Huishan's interfering would have cost him his life, he would have helped Mo Wen, because it would have been a great connection for the Cui Hong Sect in the future.
Ku Ji stood up and left, not saying anything. When he reached the main entrance, he paused for a while, ordering slowly, ”Send out a message, saying that the Huatian Palace is searching for Mo Wen. Let Mo Wen know, if he receives the news, he can go to any Branch Palace Halls of the Huatian Palace and wait there. I will go to pick him up personally.”
Since Mo Wen had escaped from the danger, he would most likely still be in Qu State for the time being. There were more than 10 Branch Palace Halls of the Huatian Palace in Qu State. It would not be hard for Mo Wen to locate one of them once he received the news.
...
During the previous battle, as the Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader, Xue Chu had also been severely injured. He had nearly died outside of Li'an City. After two weeks of treatment, his injuries had slightly recovered, but his face was still pale. He was not Mo Wen. He was not a Miracle Physician himself and did not receive the inheritance of Medicine Sage Ji Wuya and the protection of life energy.
If he wanted his injuries to completely recover, he most likely needed more than a hundred years. After all, not just his body was injured, but his cultivation and life source as well. Originally, there was a chance of him advancing to the later stage Primordial Soul realm, but after this battle, that hope was slim.
”What business do you have with me?”
In the great hall, Xue Chu asked plainly as he looked at the white-robed elder below. This elder was none other than one of the Dual Evils Black and White.
When Xue Chu was in seclusion and healing himself, other people could not contact him. Only a few confidants could use a special method to communicate with him.
