Chapter 240: His Hardship

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Mo Wuji's flying ship was much faster than Cen Shuyin's, but due to Cen Shuyin's relentless pursuit, Mo Wuji was discovered her soon after he left the Heaven Seeking City.

Initially, Mo Wuji even thought that he was being chased by some Lei Clan dogs and he was intending to retrieve a laser cannon and send a shot over.

However, he soon discerned that the flying ship was controlled by Cen Shuyin; she was standing conspicuously at the stern of the ship.

This left Mo Wuji curious; he didn't know what business Cen Shuyin had with him.He did not think that Cen Shuyin would know that he was Rogue Cultivator 2795. Even though she had applied for a contribution point token together with him, their interaction was merely during the application. At the very most, she helped make the application process easier. She definitely didn't see what was written on his token, much less know that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. Unless Cen Shuyin was like him and possessed strong spiritual will.

It was even more impossible for Cen Shuyin to recognise him as Mo Wuji. The disguising mask which Ren Tianxing gave him was quite good. Cen Shuyin shouldn't be able to see through it with her level of cultivation.

Since these two cases were impossible, then why was she looking for him?

An hour later, Mo Wuji saw that Cen Shuyin had not stopped in her pursuit so he directly landed his flying ship by a forest.

Cen Shuyin's flying ship landed not far away. She kept her flying ship and walked in front of Mo Wuji, ”May I ask if you're Rogue Cultivator 2705?”

Mo Wuji replied with a slightly hoarse voice, ”That's right, I'm Rogue Cultivator 2705. May I know why you're looking for me?”

Cen Shuyin's eye revealed a hint of pleasant surprise as she said eagerly, ”I'm the Heaven Seeking Palace Sword Lake's Cen Shuyin. Because…”

”Because we want to know if the rumors were true.” A voice suddenly interrupted Cen Shuyin's words.

”Gu Shaoyin?” Cen Shuyin turned to see a black robed youth, and her face changed drastically. She had been followed and she didn't even know.

Gu Shaoyin nodded towards Cen Shuyin, ”That's right. Now move to the side and let me take over.”

Mo Wuji looked at Cen Shuyin then at Gu Shaoyin and frowned. He did not think that Cen Shuyin called him over so that she could join forces with Gu Shaoyin to deal with him. But it was the truth that when Cen Shuyin got him to stop, the black robed fella also came over.

However, Mo Wuji remained fearless. This black robed youth was also in the Extreme Mortal Stage. In a single glance, Mo Wuji could see the spirit ring revolving around his body. However, when compared to him, this fella's spirit ring wasn't worth mentioning. Not only was it weak, it also looked unclear. However, he wasn't sure whether this Gu Shaoyin could see the Extreme Mortal Stage spirit ring hidden within his body.

Gu Shaoyin clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, ”Star King Mountain's Gu Shaoyin. You are the Rogue Cultivator 2705 whose reputation reverberates throughout the whole Lost Continent?”

Gu Shaoyin’s heart was filled with wonder; he could feel that Mo Wuji's body did not emanate any spirituality and didn't look anything like a strong cultivator. He was even less able to tell that Mo Wuji was in a higher leveled Extreme Mortal Stage. Thus, he did not believe that this pale faced scholar in front of him was the famous Rogue Cultivator 2705.

This caused his heart to be filled with dissatisfaction. Back at Zhen Mo Continent, he, Gu Shaoyin, challenged countless of experts, emerging as number one on the Mortal Board, an existence above the clouds. Wherever he went, he was revered. But when compared to Rogue Cultivator 2705 in the Lost Continent, his reputation was not worth mentioning.

In the Lost Continent, even an ordinary mortal knew who Rogue Cultivator 2705 was.

”That's right, I'm Rogue Cultivator 2705. Why are you finding me?” Mo Wuji started calmly at Gu Shaoyin. Gu Shaoyin's cultivation was also in the Transcending Mortality Stage but Mo Wuji could feel that this fella was very strong. He did hear some things about the Star King Mountain back in Yan City, but they didn't really leave a deep impression on him.

”Since that's the case, then accept my punch. Let me see whether you deserve to be Rogue Cultivator 2705…” As he spoke, Gu Shaoyin had already sent a punch towards Mo Wuji.

Towards this ordinary looking scholar, he harboured no interest in taking out his spear.

Mo Wuji did not move; at where he stood, he punched out. He really did not out other cultivators in the same stage in his eyes. His spiritual will had already started scanning the surroundings for fear that there weren't just Cen Shuyin and Gu Shaoyin here.

”Bang!” The two fists had not even clashed when the raging elemental energy exploded in the air. The elemental energy compressed the air, causing tearing sounds to be heard. The sounds were extremely terrifying.

”Bam!” The two fists finally met. At the center of the two, a fracture appeared on the earth and soil flew everywhere.

Mo Wuji felt a strong rebound of elemental energy, and with a ”Kacha” sound, Mo Wuji knew that one of the bones in his fists had broke. Moreover, the other party’s surging elemental energy seemed to be vast and limitless. This fist did not seem to stop unless it had knocked Mo Wuji to the ground.

Mo Wuji's heart trembled. He had never met such a terrifying Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator. He was sure that Gu Shaoyin had yet to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage. From his conversation with Gu Shaoyin to now, his fighting spirit was finally ignited.
