Chapter 207: Granny Linglong On The Run (2/2)

Mo Wuji said this in a hurry as he immediately retrieved his flying car and rushed into the clouds before disappearing in the direction where the two flying ships were headed for.

After Mo Wuji left, Situ Qian finally managed to wipe his sweat on his forehead in this state of panic as he expressed his gratitude, ”Old duke, if it was not for you this time, my life would…”

Han Chenghan interrupted impatiently, ”Lord, now is not the time to discuss about all these. Your first priority should be completing the task Pill Master Mo assigned you.”

”Yes, yes…” Situ Qian finally came to his sense.

A national crisis was ultimately resolved unexpectedly by two flying ships flying past which made all the dukes secretly afraid.

A plump man standing behind the crowd lowered his head as he slowly retreated but was recognised very quickly, ”Rao Xianhou, you made such a huge mistake back then. If you didn’t look down on the Mo Clan for being down and out, you could have been the father in law of pill master Mo.”

This fatty was Wen Manzhu’s father, Rao Xianhou. Back then because the Mo Clan was living in poverty, he broke all ties and severed any relationship he had with his once good friend, Mo Guangyuan and the Mo Clan.

Even though nothing in this world was impermanence, he would never have expected an upset young lord back then to appear as an immortal master now.

One who knows nothing, fears nothing. This could very well be a fitting sentence to describe Rao Xianhou.

...

Mo Wuji’s flying car was a lot slower than the two flying magic treasures earlier on. Fortunately for his spiritual will, he was able to sense the changes and movements in the air. As long as he continued this method of following them, he would never lose them.

Mo Wuji knew that he might not be of any help to Granny Linglong even if he did manage to catch up with them but after witnessing such incident, he simply couldn’t just sit and watch the show.

Granny Linglong was nothing like what people rumoured her to be: a person who had no regard for people’s feelings. In fact, Mo Wuji even thought of her as a very reasonable person. Even though he had already exchanged an Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower for her to save Yan’Er and a chance to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace, Mo Wuji would never forget Granny Linglong’s kindness.

Now that Granny Linglong was in trouble, how could he sit back and relax?

Mo Wuji had to sense the changes in the surrounding air and then simultaneously follow these changes to chase after the faster flying ships in front of him. Initially, Mo Wuji barely managed to find the correct direction but after a few days, he was no longer capable of following them. Furthermore, after continuously using his spiritual will to sense the changes in air movements for a few days, he started to feel extremely fatigue.

After losing track of Granny Linglong, Mo Wuji continued searching for a couple of days before confirming that he lost her and eventually, had no choice but to give up.

If that Situ Qian was afraid of dying, the message Mo Wuji sent out via him should have already been on its way to the Heaven Seeking Palace. Mo Wuji could only hope that the aid from the Heaven Seeking Palace would not be too late to save Granny Linglong.

Whether it was for the sect or personal reasons, Mo Wuji hoped that Granny Linglong would be able to emerge safely out of danger. The moment something happened to Granny Linglong, Yan’Er would lose both a mentor and a dependable friend.

As for Yan’Er’s big senior apprentice sister, she still did not seem like a dependable person to Mo Wuji. Both her character and her strength were not something you could depend your life on. Back then in the Thunder Fog Forest, that big senior apprentice sister would have been dead if not for his appearance.

Only after coming to a halt, Mo Wuji realised that he lost his directions. During the past few days of pursuit, he only cared about finding traces of the flying ships in front of him and didn’t bother remembering his position. Now that he lost his directions without a map, he could only find and seek help from people.

His surroundings were all wilderness but luckily, there was still a small path in this wilderness. As long as there was a path, Mo Wuji was not worried he could not find anyone.

Following the small path, Mo Wuji walked for about half a day and still didn’t meet a single soul. Just as Mo Wuji started having doubts on whether there was actually anybody around this region, he saw faint smoke rising into the clouds from far away.

Mo Wuji sped up in a hurry, heading towards the direction of the smoke.

After a full half an hour, Mo Wuji could finally see the position where the smoke was coming from. Before he could actually get close to it, there were around five to six men holding their weapons pointing at him from afar.

These few people were wearing torn shirts stained with blood. Moreover, there were even a deep scar on the faces of two people. Mo Wuji guessed that this should be a squad of adventurers or a small group of mercenaries.

”You guys don’t have to be hostile as I’m just a passer-by. I just happened to lose my way so I was wondering if you guys could tell me where I am now? It would be fantastic if you all had a map which I could purchase from you,” Mo Wuji tried his best to speak politely.

Hearing Mo Wuji’s words and then noticing how Mo Wuji didn’t appear frightened, the armed men became slightly more relaxed.
