Chapter 166: Kill
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - -
Mo Wuji thought to himself, once I open my 100th meridian, and advanced to Spirit Building Stage, I’ll go climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase again. Let’s see which step I can reach then.
The Assignment Hall of Heaven Seeking Palace was much grander than Formless Blade Sect’s. There were various arrays displaying different assignments, and their difficulty level and contribution points reward were prominently shown.
Very quickly Mo Wuji spotted the assignment for the Lost Sky Ruins, which included mining and harvesting many different types of spiritual herbs and ores. There was even an assignment for gathering a map of the Lost Sky Ruins. What puzzled Mo Wuji was that he did not see the Sky Channel Flower mentioned anywhere. Could Cen Shuyin have lied to him in order to get the lightning affinity technique?
However, Mo Wuji eliminated such a possibility swiftly. What she said was very conclusive, and didn’t seem like something made up on the spot.
”Team embarking to Lost Sky Ruins, cultivation cannot be lower than Spirit Building Stage Level 7, team address, second floor cubicle 31.”
”Destination Lost Sky Ruins, lacking one person, cultivation must be at least Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1…”
”Lost Sky Ruins team, cultivation cannot be higher than Spirit Building Stage Level 4, address, second floor, cubicle 64.”
…
After reading through all notices for teams entering the Lost Sky Ruins, Mo Wuji finally settled on cubicle 64. As his cultivation was at Channel Opening Stage, it definitely did not exceed Spirit Building Stage Level 4. Moreover, the request for people weaker than Spirit Building Stage Level 4, meant that the team’s strength was nothing to write home about to begin with, making it safer for him too.
Just as he prepared to proceed to the second floor, a figure hurriedly entered the Assignments Hall, and spotted Mo Wuji who was looking at the assignment display arrays.
”Apprentice brother Mo, your house has been sealed up, and two Transcending Mortality Stage experts are openly guarding it, waiting for you to return…” The figure delivered a message rushedly, before leaving again in the same manner.
From the look of his back, Mo Wuji could recognise that it was Chao Buheng that came to inform him. A sense of gratitude rose up from within. If it weren’t for the message, once he went home, he would have landed in the hands of those two Transcending Mortality Stage experts.
Although killing was forbidden within Heaven Seeking Palace, but duels were not banned, and countless disciples would get wounded and crippled through them. However, duels usually involved people at the same level.
Deep inside Mo Wuji felt depressed to be of a lower cultivation level. He really thought that such a grudge between disciples would be settled through a duel, hence he did not put much thought into it. This was because he did not really beat up those inner disciples that much. All he had to do, was to take extra care when leaving Heaven Seeking Palace. In reality, same level duels were commonplace in Heaven Seeking Palace. For challengers, Mo Wuji really did not fear anyone at the same level as him.
However, who knew that this kid would be so vicious, actually calling someone who was much stronger than him to wipe him out. From the looks of things, he was too naive, and thought too highly of Heaven Seeking Palace. As an outer disciple, once he’s beaten to a near death state by someone with much higher cultivation than him, even to the point where his meridians were all destroyed, who could he turn to? Likely in the whole Heaven Seeking Palace, not a single person would stand up for him.
Hence, Mo Wuji did not continue to cubicle 64, as looking for team members would delay him by at least two to four more hours.
Previously Cen Shuyin could find him, so those seeking trouble with him could do so too. There was no time to waste, since he understood that the cruelty of the whole situation greatly exceeded what he had expected.
Turning around and leaving, Mo Wuji head out of the Assignment Hall immediately. Without teaming up with other, would that mean he could not make it to the Lost Sky Ruins?
After leaving the sect, Mo Wuji sped up further, preparing to head to Heaven Seeking City before going to the Lost Sky Ruins. A place like the Lost Sky Ruins would definitely be accessible from Heaven Seeking City.
As the closest city to Heaven Seeking Palace, Heaven Seeking City was only four hours away on foot.
…
”Hmm, how could this guy leave safely?” Outside Heaven Seeking Palace, a youth in luxuriously robes exclaimed as he saw Mo Wuji’s back.
”Young Master, who is this?” Behind the luxuriously robed youth stood two sturdy young men, and one of them asked this question.
While gritting his teeth, the luxuriously robed youth replied, ”That’s the b*st*rd that snatched my seat and slapped me in Technique Hall. I did send some guys to ambush him at District D of outer sect mountain. To remove all of his bone marrow, then destroy all his spirit channels. Who knew that this little ant would be able to leave Heaven Seeking Palace even before I went to check up on what happened. Those two pieces of trash…”
”Since he’s out of the sect, isn’t it even better? We can go to kill him now,” The second guy behind the luxuriously robed youth suggested.
With a frown, the luxuriously robed youth hesitated slightly. The words that Mo Wuji spoke still lingered by his ears, and he could remotely feel a burning pain on his cheek. It was out of fear that he sent two Transcending Mortality Stage experts over.
”This guy should have already entered Spirit Building Stage, possibly at Spirit Building Stage Level 1…” Hesitation appeared in the tone of the luxuriously robed youth’s voice. He really wanted to call those two Transcending Mortality Stage guys hiding in ambush at outer sect mountain to come over, but it would take too long to do so. What if they lost track of this guy before those two arrived?
