Sang Yiping looked around hesitantly, not saying another word.
What kind of person was Granny Linglong? In a single glance, she could tell that Sang Yiping wished to speak with Mo Wuji alone, so she simply said, ”My flying treasure met with some malfunctions, I need to go repair it.”
Mo Wuji hurriedly retrieved that lavender plank and passed it to Granny Linglong, ”Senior, I saw this floating in the sea, it shows the Pill Pagoda mark on it.”
Granny Linglong gratefully accepted that plank, ”Many thanks, this does belong to me. Back in the Sky Sea, that fella ambushed my flying treasure. With this, my flying ship would be repaired faster, later, we can go back together.”
With that, Granny Linglong went off to the side and started fixing her flying treasure. Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan also took this opportunity to wait by the side. Mo Wuji was going to leave this place soon, and he definitely wouldn't leave them behind.
After the trio left, Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong suddenly knelt in front of Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji startled, and immediately took a few steps back and said, ”What's the meaning of this? Please get up.”
Sang Yiping didn't stand but said pleadingly, ”Tian Ji Sect's Sang Yiping greets the sect head.”
Nie Zhengnong followed after, ”Tian Ji Sect's Nie Zhengnong greets the sect head.”
One look and Mo Wuji knew that something was wrong. However, he was not totally unfamiliar with this Tian Ji Sect. His Immortal Mortal Technique originated from the Tian Ji Sect, and he was extremely grateful to the Tian Ji Sect for it.
”The two of you, please stand up and talk. There must be a mistake, I'm just a small outer disciple from the Heaven Seeking Palace, I'm not your Tian Ji Sect's sect head.” Mo Wuji said seriously. He was starting to seriously consider whether this two people kneeling in front of him and calling him the 'sect head’ had something to do with the Immortal Mortal Technique.
Regardless, he was not going to return the manual. He had just reached the Transcending Mortality Stage and he did not even enter the Earth Realm yet. Without the manual, what would he do?
”No, before our previous sect head perished, he designated you as our Tian Ji Sect's next sect head. May Senior Mo accept this designation.” Not only didn't Sang Yiping get up, her head went down even lower.
Mo Wuji directly pulled Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong up and said doubtfully, ”Why? I don't think I’ve even met your sect head. Also, when discussing about such important affairs, just go straight to the point. There's no need to kneel on the ground and talk.”
”Yes.” Sang Yiping inhaled deeply and continued, ”A few months ago, our sect head received an invitation and the person who invited him was Rogue Cultivator 2705…”
Mo Wuji instantly furrowed his brows, ”Junior Sang, I believe that you should know that I'm Rogue Cultivator 2705 by now, but I’ve never invited the Tian Ji Sect's sect head for anything.”
Sang Yiping wiped a tear off the corner of her eye, ”I know, but our sect head believed that it was you. At that time, he was urgently looking for you, so he did not hesitate to go to the Yin Tomb Beach to look for you. Thereafter, our sect head never returned.”
”Did you find out who did it?”
Mo Wuji’s expression immediately turned solemn. To use his name to harm others, it didn't matter who it was, he would definitely screw that person over.
Sang Yiping said through gritted teeth, ”It was the Yu Lin Lei Clan…”
Hearing the four words 'Yu Lin Lei Clan’, Mo Wuji suddenly thought: Could this matter be related to me?
As expected, his thought was confirmed when Sang Yiping continued, ”To find you, the Yu Lin Lei Clan searched through the entire Yan City. Eventually, they noticed the Tian Ji Sect's rankings on the Contribution Point Board. Our Tian Ji Sect doesn't have any outstanding talent, so it was expected for it to not appear on the rankings. However, when you used your contribution points to exchange for something from our sect, those contribution points became our Tian Ji Sect's, causing our rankings to rise rapidly. The Lei Clan discovered that rise…”
There was no need for Sang Yiping to carry on; Mo Wuji was already very clear what had happened. The Yu Lin Lei Clan's greed was insatiable, and it probably wanted to force the Tian Ji Sect to reveal what was it that he had exchanged, it even required so many contribution points. At the same time, the Yu Lin Lei Clan might even want to use the Tian Ji Sect to discover his whereabouts.
Mo Wuji sighed and continued, ”I have implicated your sect head. I never expected for the Yu Lin Lei Clan to be so shameless. If they wanted to find my whereabouts, naturally, your Tian Ji Sect would know about it ”
Sang Yiping said resolutely, ”Even if we did, our sect head would not reveal even half a word. Our Tian Ji Sect's teaching is: Our disciples will stand till their deaths, no Tian Ji Sect disciple will kneel while alive.”
Mo Wuji's expression changed; this was the first time he developed a sense of respect towards the Tian Ji Sect. In the world of cultivation, there were many sects which betrayed others. To develop such a core teaching, how much courage did this Tian Ji Sect have?
”After the Lei Clan killed our Tian Ji Sect's sect head, they continued to secretly kill their way to the Tian Ji Sect encampment, causing the Tian Ji Sect to face destruction. Perhaps, only the two of us remain in the Tian Ji Sect…”
