”I wish to make a trip back to the sect before deciding on my next move...” Mo Wuji answered as his intention was to secretly visit Yan’Er before leaving the Heaven Seeking Palace for good.
Ren Tianxing replied instantly, ”Brother Mo, I’ve found a good place and I’ve heard that there would be a top grade earth fire there. Previously, Shao Guangjing attempted to murder me because I knew of this place. How about Brother Mo and I work together to scan the place before returning to our sect?”
Mo Wuji shook his head, ”Presently, my ability is way too low which is why I need to return to the sect secretly. The moment I return, I will leave the Heaven Seeking Palace after doing what needs to be done. Therefore, I am not in the mood to search for the top grade earth fire.”
Mo Wuji knew how valuable this earth fire Ren Tianxing mentioned would be because if it was not, Shao Guangjing would not have tried to murder Ren Tianxing for it. However, Mo Wuji really had no mood for it now as all he wanted to do was to visit Yan’Er before concentrating on increasing his strength.
Ren Tianxing nodded, ”Brother Mo is right as I agree that we are both still not strong enough. I have left the sect for over a year now, how about both of us head back together…”
The moment he talked about this, Ren Tianxing seemed to remember something, ”Brother Mo, why do you have to secretly return to the sect?”
Ren Tianxing did not look like the type of person to betray his trust because if he was, he wouldn’t have shared the location of the earth fire with Mo Wuji. Therefore, Mo Wuji decided to tell him the truth. ”This is because someone in the Heaven Seeking Palace wants me dead. If an outer disciple like me returned openly, there would be a high probability of me getting slaughtered very quickly.
”How is that possible? Even if junior apprentice brother Mo is an outer disciple, the Heaven Seeking Palace would definitely not kill a fellow sect disciple without any reason,” Ren Tianxing said astonishingly.
Mo Wuji explained further, ”This was because Jin Jiuzhen’s backer suspected me for killing Jin Jiuzhen. Hence, putting up a wanted poster of me. He would probably be waiting for me to walk right back to him at the Heaven Seeking Palace. If not for the one relative I left behind at the Heaven Seeking Palace, I would definitely not return.”
”Jin Jiuzhen was murdered? Elder Jin Yu suspects you and put you on a wanted poster?” Ren Tianxing could not help but blurt everything out. Jin Jiuzhen’s backer in the Heaven Seeking Palace was Elder Jin Yu therefore, Ren Tianxing understood the situation very quickly.
”Is it Elder Jin Yu? I had no idea,” Mo Wuji said as he rubbed his nose.
Ren Tianxing answered, ”Elder Jin Yu is the fifth elder of our sect who is incredibly strong. He is also Jin Jiuzhen’s senior, who in fact, was the one who personally brought Jin Jiuzhen into the Heaven Seeking Palace. If Jin Jiuzhen was murdered, it was no wonder he will go berserk. However, I am never too worried for such disciples.”
In other words, even though Jin Jiuzhen had excellent top grade spiritual roots, Ren Tianxing held no regards for disciples like him.
”Right, why did Elder Jin Yu want to suspect you?” Ren Tianxing sensed something was amiss because Jin Yu was an expert in the sect and he naturally would not suspect anyone without sufficient proof.
Mo Wuji replied helplessly, ”This was because I did kill Jin Jiuzhen. There was this time when I was sitting in the first row of the lecture I attended and I somehow managed to offend that fella. As I was leaving the Heaven Seeking Palace, he brought along two Spirit Building Stage cultivators to try and assassinate me discreetly…”
Ren Tianxing stared blankly at Mo Wuji as he knew that Elder Jin Yu would never accuse Mo Wuji without any valid reasoning. For an outer disciple to have the guts to kill Jin Jiuzhen, Mo Wuji was really something else.
However, Jin Jiuzhen was also an idiot for bringing just two Spirit Building Stage cultivators to get rid of a capable cultivator like Mo Wuji. Ren Tianxing had no idea that Mo Wuji’s tremendous increase in strength only occurred a few months ago. At that point of time when Jin Jiuzhen ambushed Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was only in the Channel Opening Stage.
”Junior apprentice brother Mo, you are not entirely at fault for this incident. More importantly, does Jin Yu have any evidence to prove that you are the one who killed Jin Jiuzhen?” Even though Ren Tianxing and Jin Jiuzhen belonged to the same sect, he could not be bothered about a dandy disciple like Jin Jiuzhen.
Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before saying, ”He will definitely not have any evidence because his assumption was made based on the fact that I clashed with Jin Jiuzhen before.”
He dared to make such a statement because Mo Wuji did not take anything from Jin Jiuzhen. Moreover, he used his spiritual will to scan the surrounding to make sure nobody was around to witness that incident.
Ren Tianxing laughed out loud before clapping, ”Since this was the case, junior apprentice brother Mo can walk by my side as we return to the Heaven Seeking Palace openly. I promise you that even if Elder Jin Yu was standing in front of you, he would not dare to touch even half a strand of your hair. My worry is that the moment you leave the Heaven Seeking Palace, he might find opportunities to assassinate you.”
”Many thanks senior apprentice brother Ren. I would naturally find my own way to leave the Heaven Seeking Palace when the time is right,” Mo Wuji explained the whole incident to Ren Tianxing hoping that he could help him out. Even if Ren Tianxing had no means to help him, it wouldn’t be too huge a problem too.
Knowing that Ren Tianxing was capable enough to be ranked third in the standings, Mo Wuji suspected that he must have held a notable status in the Heaven Seeking Palace. Evidently, Mo Wuji’s guess was right.
With his spiritual will, why would he need to worry about not being able to find ways to leave the Heaven Seeking Palace?
