Chapter 68: Blood Lotus Lake
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:
Both Mo Wuji and Qin Xiangyu were very satisfied with Wu Kai's arrangement for Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji felt extremely relieved as the Formless Blade Sect's flying ship took off on the very same night Mo Wuji came aboard. He was worried that people from the Supreme Sword City would find them before they left Chang Luo.
Mo Wuji was sure that he would be thrown out of the Formless Blade Sect if people from the Supreme Sword City found him.
After just one day of travelling, the flying ship landed. As a service disciple, Mo Wuji followed closely behind Wu Kai down the flying ship.
The flying ship landed on a vast and spacious land where there were about 400 to 500 ladders that formed an extended ladder upwards.
At the end of the ladder were three huge characters carved out by a sword suspending in the air forming up the words ”Formless Blade Sect”. [1] Even though Mo Wuji was not familiar with swordsmanship, he could feel a very intimidating aura from it.
After arriving, the newly recruited inner and outer disciples were to make their way into the sect and participate in the initiation ceremony. Qin Xiangyu did not have the opportunity to bid goodbye to Mo Wuji as she proceeded to follow the newly recruited disciples into the sect.
After all the inner and outer disciples had entered, Wu Kai then led hundred over service disciples onto the steps. These service disciples would not be able to participate in the initiation ceremony because they are there to do some chores and not to cultivate.
Behind the 400-500 ladders was another spacious plot of land. In the middle of the land was a wide marble walkway. This walkway would lead directly to the main hall of the Formless Blade Sect. There were nine stone tablets on both sides of the walkway.
Mo Wuji noticed that there was a vague shadow of a person sword dancing on every stone tablet. On a closer look, it was not clear enough for him to tell what it was.
Service disciples were not allowed to walk through the main walkway but had to walk through two smaller walkways by the side to enter the sect before being split into their respective departments from there.
Mo Wuji sighed as he thought to himself. This was only an Earth Sect, how grand would a Heaven Sect be?
”Isn't it very stylish?” A teen dressed in a grey shirt said.
Mo Wuji recognised this teen in a grey shirt. His name was Xian Ziqian and he was different from Mo Wuji as he has spiritual roots but it was one of the lowest quality. Therefore, he was recruited as a service disciple like Mo Wuji.
”It is indeed very stylish. It has the aura of a really big sect,” Mo Wuji nodded as he expressed his thoughts. It seemed like there were clouds inside the hall causing it hard for him to make out what was inside. However, he could already feel the imposing aura of the Formless Blade Sect from outside the hall.
Xian Ziqian whispered, ”Do not look down on the Formless Blade Sect just because they are only a Earth Sect. I've heard that even the base of some Quasi-Heaven Sects are not even as intimidating as Formless Blade Sect's.”
”Stop gossiping and goofing around. Fatty Guang, bring Mo Wuji to his place and then introduce his future workplace to him. The rest of you, follow me,” Wu Kai interrupted all ongoing discussions about this place.
Mo Wuji recognised this Fatty Guang as Wu Kai's loyal subordinate. Although he was a little plump, he still managed to get things done efficiently. Seeing how Wu Kai specially arranged for Fatty Guang to show him around the place made Mo Wuji realised how impactful the Winged Sea Leopard's eggs truly were.
Even though Wu Kai might have had a wretched face and only had eyes for profits, he would get things done properly if he could benefit from it. This was probably how he managed to stay at his job for such a long time.
