”Are you the Mo Wuji who just joined the sect…” Hua Xuan shouted surprisingly.
Mo Wuji was also feeling ecstatic as he wasn’t expecting to hear about Mo Xiangtong and Aunt Eleven here.
”Yes, I am indeed Mo Wuji. Now can you bring me to see Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong?” Mo Wuji said while laughing.
Mo Wuji would never have expected the three of them to form the Three Tender Hunters after they departed from him. What was more unbelievable was that he actually met the members of this hunter squad.
After confirming that their Third Sis was actually Mo Wuji’s aunt, Hua Xuan became so excited her hands started to tremble slightly. Hua Xuan finally calmed herself down before bending down to pick up and toss one of the fallen riders to the back instead of replying Mo Wuji immediately.
The rider’s body was easily picked up by Hua Xuan before forming a circular arc in the air as he was being thrown to the back.
”Brother Mo, there is someone who should not be hearing my words and this particular person can’t be killed now because he knows where Second Sis is being held at,” Hua Xuan took a deep breath before finally managing to control her agitation. Even though she addressed Xiangtong as her Third Sis, she didn’t dare to treat Mo Wuji as a junior.
”Lengbei is being held captive?” Mo Wuji frowned because he was the one who rescued Jing Lengbei and she had a close sisterhood with Mo Xiangtong. Previously, Jing Clan saved Mo Xiangtong before and now that Jing Lengbei was being held captive, he naturally had to be concerned.
”She was brought away by Wuchangwushuang,” Hua Xuan said through gritted teeth, ”Second Sis held a strong animosity towards the Black Tailed Bees and was determined to seek revenge. Big Sis who was planning to leave, stayed to help Second Sis avenge. Afterwards, they felt that their strength were too frail individually which led them to form the Three Tender Hunters.”
”So have they sought their revenge?” Mo Wuji was secretly full of praise for this plan because even though Aunt Eleven was strong, the Black Tailed Bees was an exceptional group of horse bandits capable of taking down a country. Therefore, forming a hunter squad was the best possible way to deal with the Black Tailed Bees.
Hua Xuan nodded then shook her head, ”Initially, we managed to seal up the Black Tailed Bees’ lair ready to slaughter every single member of the Black Tailed Bees. The nickname of the Black Tailed Bees horse bandit’s head is Venomous Stinger and I personally witnessed Second Sis killing him. We swept up the entire lair and took back loads of treasure in which the most important one would be the sea map.”
”Is this the sea immortal estate map you mentioned previously?” Mo Wuji asked.
Hua Xuan nodded her head, ”Yes, after retrieving that immortal estate sea map, Big Sis decided to set out to sea.”
Mo Wuji’s heart turned heavy as he guessed that Aunt Eleven would have already been out at sea by now. Even though Aunt Eleven was strong, she was still just an average cultivator and it would simply be asking for a death wish to set out to sea with this low level of strength. He had witnessed the might of the sea as the memories of the Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles were still fresh in his head.
”Second Sis and I both tried our best to convince Big Sis that setting out to sea given our current capabilities would simply lead to death ultimately. Nevertheless, Big Sis was insistent in setting out to sea to search for the immortal estate. She told us that she had seen and done everything that was to be seen and done in her life and that she would never forgive herself if she did not attempt to give it a try when such opportunity arises,” Hua Xuan’s tone became deeper as she spoke.
”So Aunt Eleven still went ahead ultimately?” Mo Wuji was already aware of Aunt Eleven’s mettle when he was drinking wine with her previously. Even though she was a female, she was a lot more forthright than any male which was clearly evident in her decision to give up visiting Chang Luo just to send Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei off.
Now that Hua Xuan mentioned how Aunt Eleven stayed back to form the Three Tender Hunters just to seek revenge for Jing Lengbei, it was clear that everything Aunt Eleven had done, it was for her friends and not for herself.
Hua Xuan lowered her head, ”Yes, because Big Sis really wanted to go, we had no ways to stop her. Eventually, we couldn’t do anything about Third Sis’ decision to follow Big Sis out to sea. Third Sis said that she bore the hatred of the sea and that she wishes to find some good luck at the immortal estate so that she could seek revenge for herself in due course. Even if she were to die out at sea, she would have no regrets.”
Mo Wuji sighed as he understood Mo Xiangtong’s wish to avenge the Mo Clan. In fact, he felt that Mo Xiangtong’s sense of belonging to the Mo Clan was sometimes much stronger than his own.
”In the end, Second Sis also made her decision to follow the two of them. However, Big Sis and Third Sis managed to convince Second Sis to stay because if the three of them were to leave at once, what would happen to the remaining members of the Three Tender Hunters? Second Sis listened to their advice and I stayed back to help Second Sis to manage the Three Tender Hunters…”
Hearing that, Hua Xuan was almost tearing up, Mo Wuji hurried to ask, ”So where are the remaining members of the Three Tender Hunters?”
Hua Xuan shook her head as she sounded even more sorrowful, ”The Three Tender Hunters are only left with nine of us. The rest are gone…”
Mo Wuji’s eyes turned cold, ”Is this because of Wuchangwushuang?”
Hua Xuan nodded, ”Indeed, we initially thought we had exterminated the entire Black Tailed Bees after witnessing Second Sis killing Venomous Stinger. It was only afterwards that we realised that the person Second Sis killed was only a substitute. The real Venomous Stinger managed to escape to Wuchangwushuang and told them about the sea map...
There was this time when we were surrounded by the great army of Wuchangwushuang and Second Sis was ultimately captured by them. She tried to kill herself but wasn’t successful in her attempt… In the end, only the 30 plus of us managed to escape and eventually ending up with just nine of us here… I’ve made plans to set out to the sea to find Big Sis and Third Sis but was still prevented unexpectedly. If we did not meet Brother Mo here, we…”
Without saying the rest, Mo Wuji understood everything.
