Ceng Houyi turned back and discovered that there was a slightly hunched old man near him. The old man had a fishing rod in his hand, and the fishing line in front of him was from the old man’s fishing rod.

When did this white moustached elder appear? He actually had no clue to the answer of that question. How could Ceng Houyi still care about Mo Wuji? He immediately retreated away from the old man. He just got to the 10 meter mark when a terrifying force appeared on his neck.

Ceng Houyi hastily stopped. He saw the fishing line in front of his neck just now, but now, it had already wrapped around his neck. This was a fishing line without a fishing hook.

”Senior is a Worldly Immortal King?” Ceng Houyi's back dripped with cold sweat. He was in the Great Circle of the True God Stage but he wasn't even able to escape a thin fishing line. What else could his opponent be if not a Worldly Immortal King?

The Lost Continent had a Worldly Immortal King? If there was a Worldly Immortal King, why didn't he stop the alien cultivators?

”None of your sh*tty business.” The white moustached old man tugged his line. Ceng Houyi immediately jumped towards the direction of the fishing line. If he didn't, his neck would follow the fishing line back to the old man.

Mo Wuji looked over, this old man was like playing with a big fish he just caught.

”Greetings senior.” Mo Wuji hurriedly bowed. He recognised this old man; previously when he was looking for Granny Linglong, this old man was fishing at the cliff in front of the Pill Pagoda.

The white moustached old man sized Mo Wuji up. After some time, he seemed to recall something and he suddenly asked, ”Oh right, why did you quit the Heaven Seeking Palace?

Mo Wuji knew that this white moustached old man clearly knew his identity, so he bowed and said, ”Junior is merely an outer disciple at the Heaven Seeking Palace. The Heaven Seeking Palace can easily do without me.”

The elder ruminated for a while before nodding, ”You’re right, this broken Heaven Seeking Palace isn't suitable for you. Let me think…”

As he spoke, the old man fiddled with his moustache. He lowered his head and went deep in thought. After some time, he raised his head and asked, ”Let me see the thing you took from the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase.”

Mo Wuji did not hesitate to retrieve that Immortal Seeking Token and offered it to the old man. The white moustached old man grabbed the Immortal Seeking Token and examined. It was only after a few minutes that he asked, ”Do you want this thing?”

Mo Wuji did not mind and said, ”If senior likes it, you can take it. This thing is useless to me.”

Mo Wuji's heart was pounding heavily. It's true that the best way for people not to know of your actions was to not do it in the first place.

Mo Wuji thought that no one else knew that he had reached the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase, but this old man seemed as though he had seen it with his very own eyes. This old man was even cognizant that Mo Wuji had taken something from the top.

”Good, then give it to me…” Halfway through his sentence, the old man seemed to recall something. ”Something's wrong. You want to harm me. Don't think I will fall for your trick.”

The old man hastily threw the Immortal Seeking Token back to Mo Wuji.

”Senior, please let junior down. Junior came from the Zhen Mo Continent and had come here to help defend the Lost Continent from the invasion of the alien cultivators.” Due to the fishing line around his neck, Ceng Houyi had to slowly force his words out. He was worried that this fishing line would suddenly jerk and his neck would be sliced off. Just now, he had tried probing the line with his elemental energy and found that removing the fishing line was completely out of his means.

The white moustached old man frowned, ”How in fart's business has that got to do with me? You didn't come here to defend the Heaven Seeking Palace from those alien cultivators.”

”Senior, if we didn't come, there would be more Heaven Seeking Palace disciples who would have died under the alien cultivators’ hands. Even the first dean would have lost her life.” Ceng Houyi hastily explained.

The white moustached old man snorted and pulled his fishing line, causing Ceng Houyi to go a huge circle in mid air before landing next to his feet, ”If the Heaven Seeking Palace disciples die then so be it. It's not the Heaven Seeking Palace which gets destroyed. How is that my problem?”

”But senior is a Worldly Immortal King. Aren't you bullying the weak by dealing with a True God ant like me?” Ceng Houyi really couldn’t show the slightest temper towards this white moustached old man.

”Ah, now this sounds more reasonable,” The old man acknowledged.

Mo Wuji could not hold it in, he took a step forward and said, ”A True God like you ambushed me. Why aren't you ashamed?”

Between his words, the Tian Ji Pole in his hands had soundlessly pounded against Ceng Houyi’s chest.

Ceng Houyi had been restrained by the white moustached old man and had no means of resistance. With this simple strike, Mo Wuji had destroyed all his spirit channels. Mo Wuji’s elemental energy pervaded upwards and also tore apart his dantian and Mind Palace.

He coughed out a mouth full of fresh blood. Ceng Houyi was filled with grievances; this was worse than killing him.

The white moustached old man acted as though he didn't see Mo Wuji's actions, he turned towards Cen Shuyin and said, ”This little girl is dead?”

Mo Wuji nodded, ”Yes. She died due to this person's ambush, just to save me.”

The old man sighed and said, ”This little girl is not bad. Why don't you let me take a look.”

”Senior can save her?” Mo Wuji ecstatically offered Cen Shuyin over to the white moustached old man.

”Don't know.” The old man replied with two simple words but he didn't immediately receive Cen Shuyin. Instead, he bent down and picked up the red faced cultivator's storage ring. He then fiddled around with the red faced cultivator's clothes and it seemed like the clothes didn't catch his eye. Thereafter, he pulled something off the red faced cultivator's neck.
