Chapter 208: Three Tender Hunters (2/2)

Mo Wuji tilted his head; that arrow brushed across his ear.

This arrow enraged Mo Wuji. If not for him tilting his head, that arrow would have bored into the back of his skull and emerge through his forehead.

”I’m not with them. Friend, to act so indiscriminately, shouldn’t you give an explanation?” Mo Wuji turned over and his voice brought with it a hint of killing intent. If it was any other cultivator, he wouldn’t have bothered asking this question and started the slaughter. Mo Wuji might have become a cultivator, but he wasn’t used to such ruthless behaviour, to start killing and slaughtering without reason.

”Ha Ha, you want our Wuchangwushuang to give you an explanation? Who cares if you’re not with them? When our Wuchangwushuang men come over, our rule is that no one is to move. You have flouted our Wuchangwushuang rules. Everyone, let him know that our Wuchangwushuang rules are not to be randomly flouted…” The rider at the front chortled and waved his hand.

This time around, it wasn’t a single arrow, but a volley of 30 to 40 arrows shot towards Mo uji.

Mo Wuji raised both his hand; these arrows were incomparably slow in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, all 30 plus arrows were in Mo Wuji’s hands. Before anyone could make sense of the situation, Mo Wuji swung both his hands, and all 30 plus arrows were thrown out.

”Ah….ah… ah….” Tens of aggrieved voices were heard, followed by a thick fog of blood. 35 riders fell from their horses and collapsed onto the ground.

Everyone of these riders had an arrow stuck on their forehead. Due to the collapse of their owners, the 30 plus horses started to get restless. However, these horses were clearly trained, as they immediately quelled their restlessness.

The rider who stood forward was the only one left alive. He had a blank expression on his face as he turned and had a clear look of the fallen riders. Each of these riders had an arrow stuck on their heads, and the arrows were at the exact same position. He was instantly frozen in shock.

The anxious group of nine were also shocked still. These 36 riders who could have easily ended their lives were turned into 35 corpses in a single breath, and the last one was too astounded to even react.

Mo Wuji slowly walked to the rider who was still alive; his voice pulled the rider out of his astonishment and blankness, ”What now? I flouted your Wuchangwushuang rules again.”

As he spoke, Mo Wuji swept his leg across, instantly shattering the legs of the horse this rider was on. The horse gave out a hoarse cry and fell to the ground. The rider also fell and was left sprawled on the ground. The rider was a tall and burly man, but he was left speechless. His previous arrogance and coldness seemed like a joke in this current situation.

”Three Tender Hunters, Hua Xuan greets senior. Previously, I didn’t recognise senior. I seek your forgiveness.” The woman who gave Mo Wuji directions, but instantly turned away when Mo Wuji mentioned the Black Tailed Bees, hurried over and bowed to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji asked, ”Three Tender Hunters, you’re a group of adventurers?”

Hua Xuan rushed to explain, ”We can’t be considered a group of adventurers, we could barely be considered mercenaries. Currently, we do some escort work.”

Mo Wuji nodded, ”Then what is this Wuchangwushuang sh*t?”

Hua Xuan explained seriously, ”Wuchangwushuang is the Sick Woods’ strongest mercenaries, or more accurately, they’re a gang of horse bandits. Their leaders are a pair of brother-sister siblings, they’re called Wuchang and Wushuang respectively. They have always been surviving in this land between Qian Tai State and Yu Guang State, and their strength is extremely high. At their peak, they at least have 10,000 horse riders. They run around rampant in these lands, committing all sorts of evil deeds and killing people like ants. At first, any merchant groups would be killed by Wuchangwushuang. But they changed their rules, any merchant groups who passed by the Sick Woods would have to surrender half of their goods. Anyone who resisted would be killed.”

Mo Wuji asked quizzically, ”If that’s the case, why haven’t they been exterminated by the two states?

Hua Xuan sighed, ”It’s because Wuchangwushuang’s military power is far too strong, and they move incredibly fast, so they simply can’t be exterminated. Moreover, I suspect that Wuchangwushuang has some sort of agreement with the two states.”

”Senior, our leaders, Lord Wuchang and Lord Wushuang are both immortal masters…”

The rider who was knocked down by Mo Wuji took to opportunity to say this sentence. He wanted to instill some hesitation in Mo Wuji’s heart so that Mo Wuji would spare his life. However, he did not even manage to finish this sentence before Mo Wuji stepped down on him.

”What thing do they want from you?” Originally, Mo Wuji did not intend to ask this question; in a conflict between mortals, would anything even be good enough for him? But when he heard that Wuchang and Wushuang were both immortal masters, he immediately wanted to know what Wuchang and Wushuang were pursuing desperately.

Hua Xuan bowed and said, ”Senior, it’s a map. This map leads to an immortal residence in this sea. But this map isn’t on me, I’ve already passed it to Big Sis Aunt Eleven.”

Even Wuchang and Wushuang know of the map, there was no need for her to conceal this fact in front of this strong expert.

”Aunt Eleven?” Mo Wuji suddenly heard a very familiar name and he hurried to ask that question.

Hua Xuan hastily replied, ”Aunt Eleven is the Big Sis of our Three Tender Hunters.”

”If there’s a Big Sis, then the must be a Second Sis, right?” Mo Wuji continued to ask.

”Yes, our Three Tender Hunters’s Second Sis is Leng Jingbei, our Third Sis is Mo Xiangtong…”

”Where are they now?” Mo Wuji agitatedly interrupted Hua Xuan’s words. Seeing the face of astoundment on Hua Xuan’s face, Mo Wuji explained, ”Aunt Eleven is my friend, Mo Xiangtong is my aunt. I asked about the Black Tailed Bees, is because Leng Jingbei wishes to seek revenge against the Black Tailed Bees. That’s why I wanted to inquire about them.”
