Chapter 224: Deceiving Yourself

The few of them stared at one another. Sang Yiping, Nie Zhengnong, and Zhuang Yan were not that knowledgable, hence they could not think of much on the spot. Pu Qian was too lazy to even think about these things deeply. But now that Mo Wuji had surfaced these issues, they realised that there were so many problems hidden within.

”So head senior brother, you put those things back?” Sang Yiping finally understood why Mo Wuji would place those items back.

”Perhaps Heaven Sect’s sect head used some means to spread the news about the immortal estate.” Zhuang Yan said unconfidently.

”No, the Heaven Sect’s Sect Head is not such a generous person. You can see that from the treasures he collects from all over the world. Head senior brother placed the ring back, otherwise if he opened it, there must have been all sorts of treasures in it.” Sang Liping immediately added on.

With a grin, Mo Wuji replied, ”I’ll definitely take the ring, but before I do, we have to resolve these issues. One more thing is that the spirit energy here is very dense, but we never saw anything like a energy gathering array or something similar. I suspect that there’s a spiritual vein here.”

”A spiritual vein?” The few of them were simultaneously shocked.

Mo Wuji nodded his head, and he swept the area with his spiritual will, sensing that the location with the densest spiritual energy was where Jing Gumu lay. If they wanted to investigate the source of the spiritual vein, they would have to move Jing Gumu’s corpse. But in Jing Gumu’s last words, he said not to move his dead body.

Just as everyone was thinking about the spiritual vein that Mo Wuji mentioned, Mo Wuji’s expression suddenly changed for the worse, and he immediately shouted, ”Everyone come here quick…”

Once he finished speaking, he was the first to charge into the house that Jing Gumu was in. Pu Qian and the rest completely trusted Mo Wuji by then, so when he entered the house, the remaining four of them followed suit.

As Sang Yiping wanted to ask what was going on, a few rounds of guffawing could be heard coming from the outside.

”Is that the True God Stage expert?” Zhuang Yan inquired with a shaky voice.

At that point their faces all turned as pale as a ghost. This wild laughter was so frightening, so who could it have been other than that True God Stage expert?

”It’s him, and he knows that we’re in here.” The tone that Mo Wuji took while he spoke became more rushed now, as they were going against someone that was way stronger than they were. Even if this guy was severely injured, he was not someone they could deal with.

Seeing that everyone was quite lost, Mo Wuji immediately rushed to a corner of the room behind Jing Gumu’s corpse, at the same time gesturing to the others. When the few of them came closer, he continuously threw out spirit stones, then took out a few simple array flags. Those array flags were things that Mo Wuji could not create himself, so a few were low grade array flags that he had bought, and others were found from other people’s storage rings.

A few minutes later, he finally stopped.

”Head senior brother, you’re setting up a concealment array?” Nie Zhengnong recognised what he was doing and asked.

Mo Wuji nodded, ”That’s right, this is a simple concealment array which can’t even be considered a low grade concealment array. Other than this concealment array, I added on a sound isolating array.”

At this moment, Mo WUji was truly thankful towards Chu Xingzi. Without Chu Xingzi, he would not be able to recognise simple arrays, much less set them up.

Sang Yiping quickly followed up, ”Granny Linglong said that the black clothed man is at True God Stage Level 1, so even if he was severely injured, and have less than 1% of his strength, could this concealment array block his spiritual will?”

After Sang Yiping asked this question, Pu Qian and co. gazed at Mo Wuji hopefully, hoping that he would say that it could.

But Mo Wuji shook his head, ”You must be dreaming if you think this concealment array can block the spiritual will of a True God Stage cultivator. I daresay that the guy will be able to sense the existence of this concealment array right when he enters, then discover our presence.”

”Ah…” They were stunned, since this concealment array could not obscure them from the black clothed man’s line of sight, why were they using it?

Mo Wuji still calmly spoke, ”We don’t have anywhere to hide, so this is the best we can do.”

Sang Yiping and co. all lowered their heads, while their head senior apprentice was deceiving himself, this was all that he could do. Otherwise, where would they go to hide instead?

This sort of trick has a name back where I lived, which is deceiving yourself [1].” Mo Wuji continued.

”What’s deceiving yourself…” When Zhuang Yan asked this, without his explanation, she had understood immediately. It meant covering your ears to steal a bell, so the only person you were deceiving was yourself.

However, Sang Yiping still asked, ”Head senior brother, there must be some reason behind your actions right?”

Sighing, Mo Wuji replied, ”I can only hope that my guess is correct. Everyone keep quiet, the guy will soon find us here.”

”Bang!” Jing Gumu’s room was kicked wide open, and the and cracks spread throughout its walls.

If things went as Mo Wuji expected, the black clothed man that killed the corpse cultivator would be standing at the door. Mo WUji did not use his spiritual will to sweep across this black clothed man, and could see that the injuries on him was just as Granny Linglong had said, without any improvement. He probably dared to come here because he did not take any of them, Mortal Realms cultivators, seriously.
