Chapter 241: Mortal Board Number One (2/2)

He really believed Cen Shuyin. Even though they weren't extremely good friends, he had no qualms towards her character.

”Thank you…” After Cen Shuyin said those two words, her head tilted to the side, never to breath again.

Mo Wuji forced himself to calm down. It was exactly this moment that he could not have rage cloud his judgement. Just now, if Cen Shuyin did not slow those light beams now, he would have already been killed. The reason why Cen Shuyin apologized to him didn't matter; it was undeniable that his life was saved by Cen Shuyin.

”Not bad, you're really quite strong. I want to know something, your body does not exude even a half bit of spirituality, and even I am unable to discern your cultivation, how exactly did you do that?” A red faced man appeared from the nearby forest.

Mo Wuji responded slowly, one word at a time, ”Who are you? Why did you want to kill me?”

Mo Wuji forcefully suppressed the boundless rage brewing in his heart to maintain his clarity of mind. The other party's cultivation was far stronger than that black clothed True God expert he faced before. Such an expert actually sneak attacked a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator. He even ignored Cen Shuyin's death, how could Mo Wuji not be angry?

”Elder Ceng, what's the meaning of this?” Gu Shaoyin had slowly came to his senses and he asked with a low voice.

The red faced man snorted, ”If I didn't save you, would you still be alive? Ungrateful.”

Gu Shaoyin’s face turned ugly. He turned towards Mo Wuji, clasped his fists and said, ”I'm not your opponent. From now on, I'm also not the Mortal Board number one. Tell me, what's your name?”

”Rogue Cultivator 2705.” Mo Wuji coldly replied, his eyes fixed on that red faced man. Even if this red faced man didn't act, he also wouldn't have killed Gu Shaoyin.

Gu Shaoyin sighed inwardly and he turned and left. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared. He knew, he could not save Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji also knew, he might not escape with his life today. Regretfully, there were many things he had yet to do. If he just died like this, it would truly be such a deep regret.

”I'm not the one who wants to kill you, it's the Star King Mountain's special envoy who wants to kill you,” the red faced man said faintly. ”Because the special envoy had eyes for your dao companion but your dao companion was not willing.”

My dao companion? Mo Wuji looked down towards the lifeless Cen Shuyin and developed a faint understanding of the situation. If Cen Shuyin had really used him as a shield, then he was truly maligned.

However, he still believed that Cen Shuyin wasn't such a person. He understood Cen Shuyin, she definitely wouldn't use him as a shield just to protect herself.

”If you want to kill me, then do it.” Mo Wuji's voice was calm. Unfortunately, he did not have the chance to widen the gap. Otherwise, with his laser cannon, this fella would be turned to dust.

Even though he knew that he did not have a chance, Mo Wuji still gathered his elemental energy. Before he died, he would give this red faced b*stard a solid blast of Lightning Flash. If a chance arises, he would immediately jump into the cliff behind him.

However, Mo Wuji knew his odds; the probability that he could jump down the cliff with this red faced cultivator here was close to naught. From another perspective, jumping down might even be useless.

The red faced cultivator did not immediately kill him, but took a few steps forward and asked, ”The spirituality around your body is weak, like you have poor spiritual roots. How did you achieve such a powerful level? Or, how did you hide your cultivation?”

After a short pause, he continued, ”You only have one chance to answer. If you give me a good answer, I might spare your life.”

”I can answer you, but answer my question first. Who are you, did you come from the Zhen Mo Continent?” Mo Wuji remained calm and asked.

If he could have yet another life, even if he had to travel through multiple galaxies, he would come and find where this red faced cultivator stayed, and blast him into smithereens. [1]

”Haha… You still think you have a chance to take revenge?” With that, the red faced cultivator raised his hand again, two beams of light shot out. Mo Wuji could clearly see the presence of these two beams of light but he was unable to dodge it.

”Pui Pui!” Two streams of blood sprayed from his body. Two fractures appeared on the ground beneath him, he had used the Revolving Star Passage Technique to shift most of the attack towards the ground.

”Oh right, there's still one more thing I actually forgot to ask you. At the end, you managed to defend against Gu Shaoyin's Surface Slicing Spear Shadow. That wasn't a skill right? If I guessed correctly, it should be a sacred art. Answer me, what is that sacred art, where did you get it from? To help you give me your answers heartily, I will answer you first. This lord comes from the Star King Mountain Xia Clan. I am the Xia Clan Elder Ceng Houyi.” Seeing Mo Wuji redirect a large portion of the power of his light beams to the ground, the red faced cultivator asked another question.

Mo Wuji quietly and stealthily took a few steps back and he maintained calm without emotion, ”I only have one sentence to tell you. If I ever come back to being, I will definitely kill my way to the Star King Mountain and destroy your Xia Clan.”

With that, Mo Wuji exhaled a long breath. He had been killed twice and both times were due to someone with the surname 'Xia’.

”You don't have to retreat because you won't have a chance to jump down the cliff. If I were you, I would honestly answer the questions.” Ceng Houyi seemed to see through Mo Wuji's thoughts; his tone was icy cold.

”Monkey's ass! You come to my Heaven Seeking Palace's territory and still dare to act so arrogantly. If I were you, I would obediently kneel down and wait for this old man you to carve your neck into a urinal.” An extremely thin fishing line appeared under Ceng Houyi's neck and an elderly voice could be heard.
