Chapter 66: Murderer

Mo Wuji could see the irrepressible joy from Ding Bu'Er's eyes despite his worry for Mo Wuji and Yan'Er.
”Were you selected by a sect? Congratulations,” Mo Wuji could tell straightaway that Ding Bu'Er was successful in the selections at the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference.
Ding Bu'Er tried his best to contain his excitement as he exclaimed, ”Yes, I was selected by the Heavy Earth Sect to be an outer disciple. Wuji, why don't you follow me to the Heavy Earth Sect since your spiritual roots are not that good?”
Mo Wuji shook his hand, ”It's okay. I may be heading for the Formless Blade Sect.”
He refused to listen to Shen Lian's advice to leave this place. He needed to find a sect to join because he was not like any other person with mortal roots; he can cultivate even with mortal roots.
More importantly, if he were to leave, he might not be able to save Yan'Er.
”Is Yan'Er alright?” Ding Bu'Er knew how Mo Wuji was feeling despite being happy for himself.
Mo Wuji sighed before replying, ”She was hurt very badly. I vowed to save her after heading for the Formless Blade Sect. Don't worry about my issues and concentrate on cultivating after you enter the Heavy Earth Sect. ”
”I will certainly concentrate and focus. I believe that the next time we meet, whether it is Brother Zhenyi, Aunt Eleven or you, we will all be very different as compared to now,” Ding Bu'Er said energetically.
He cannot promise Mo Wuji that he will certainly save Yan'Er because he was still only a small outer disciple after all. He had already made his decision in his heart to look for Mo Wuji at the Formless Blade Sect if he figured out a way to save Yan'Er.
”Don't worry about us and go,” Mo Wuji knew that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Ding Bu'Er. It was still not known whether his solution worked for Ding Bu'Er. Regardless of the result, it would be more beneficial for Ding Bu'Er to join a sect to train instead of following him cluelessly. Now, Mo Wuji needed to find a sect for himself to join too.
”Oh yes, Wuji, I've heard that the encampment of the Supreme Sword City was attacked and that many house slaves managed to escape. I've also heard that many disciples of the Supreme Sword City are still looking for their slaves. Was Yan'Er brought away by a disciple of the Supreme Sword City?”
”Supreme Sword City?” Mo Wuji paused before concluding that Ding Bu'Er's guess may be right. Yan'Er could very well have escaped from the encampment of the Supreme Sword City. The intention of the person who attacked Supreme Sword City and released the slaves could be to reveal the evil doings of the Supreme Sword City.
But why did the Supreme Sword City bring along all these slaves to the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference?
”After you left, there was another guy with supreme grade spiritual roots. In fact, he had golden supreme-grade spiritual roots. He was the young castellan of Supreme Sword City named Dong Lun. The weird thing is that even though he was born in Supreme Sword City, he chose to join the Heavenly Temple instead,” Ding Bu'Er whispered to Mo Wuji.
Supreme-grade spiritual roots, transfer of spiritual roots, Supreme Sword City...
Mo Wuji clenched his fist as he was certain that Yan’Er's spirit channels were destroyed by the Supreme Sword City's failure to transfer the spiritual roots.
Why were these slaves brought over to Chang Luo too? This was simply because the castellan of the Supreme Sword City wanted to participate in the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference. However, he never managed to transfer the spiritual roots to himself successfully. Therefore, in order to not delay Spring Immortal's Gate Conference selections, he brought along these supreme-grade spiritual root holders to Chang Luo to continue the transfer.
His golden supreme-grade spiritual roots must have been transferred from some other person.
”Supreme Sword City...” These three words would be engraved at the bottom of Mo Wuji's heart together with Jing Feilan. He swore that the day he rose to the top, he would first destroy the Supreme Sword City and kill Dong Lun and Jing Feilan.
