”Then where is this rogue cultivator?” Xia Mu’s expression turned ugly, yet he didn’t really believe that Ceng Houyi would do something like this.

Rhodes sighed, ”This story originated from a hotel. There was simply too many people in the hotel then, and everyone knew this story, but no one took note of who started spreading it.”

At this point, Rhodes paused for a moment, ”Young Master, I heard from Shaoyi that Rogue Cultivator 2705’s talent for cultivation is very poor. For a person without talent in Transcending Mortality Stage to actually defeat Shaoyi who’s Rank 1 on the Mortal Board, he must have a big secret about him. If Elder Ceng could sense his secret, it would be hard to know if such an incident might occur.”

Gu Shaoyin suddenly came to a realisation. Thankfully he had left early, otherwise, he might have been silenced for good.

In his mind, Xia Mu began to believe Rhodes’s words, and upon observing this, Rhodes carried on, embellishing the story further, ”Rogue Cultivator 2705’s contribution points have been this high, and he holds the top rank on the rankings, so why wouldn’t he show himself for such a high profile incident? I believe that this guy is afraid that his secret would get exposed. Hence, if it weren’t for Cen Shuyin, we wouldn’t have been able to locate him.”

The hatred in Xia Mu’s heart grew. Ceng Houyi was a part of his Xia Clan, but he actually got some funny ideas after a treasure was presented before him which ultimately led to the killing of Rogue Cultivator 2705 while the treasure remained out of Xia Clan’s hands. Instead, the Xia Clan was exposed. This was simply unforgivable.

”Forget it, let’s prepare to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase, then return to Zhen Mo Continent.” The expression on Xia Mu’s face changed multiple times, and in the end he could only sigh.

Ceng Houyi was at a half step to Worldly Immortal King, and after he defected away, there was no one on Xia Mu’s side that could restrain him. Even though Defender Xu could kill Ceng Houyi in seconds, he was a Worldly Immortal King, and was not a retainer of the Xia Clan, so there was no way for Xia Mu to use him. If it were for official work, perhaps Defender Xu would take actions to help him. However, this was personal business, hence Defender Xu might not even bother with him. It was better that he didn’t go to try his luck.

As for Ceng Houyi being killed by others, he never thought this would be possible. How many people on the Lost Continent were there that would be capable of killing Ceng Houyi? If there were such experts, why wouldn’t they have emerged when the Hundred Sect Alliance was about to be destroyed?

…

At that moment, Mo Wuji was on the way towards Yu Lin Lei Clan. He believed that no matter how much trust Xia Mu had in Ceng Houyi, some doubts about Ceng Houyi’s disappearance would still exist, because there was no one on the Lost Continent that could be a match for him. The strength of the white moustached fisherman was something that even the Heaven Seeking Palace did not know about.

The only thing that puzzled Mo Wuji was that, with the strength that the white moustached fisherman possessed, could it be that he was really a Worldly Immortal King?

Wasn’t it very difficult to even enter the True God Stage in the Lost Continent? So how could there by Worldly Immortal Kings?

The Heaven Seeking Palace’s Heaven Seeking Staircase came to mind, and Mo Wuji thought that if something like that existed, why couldn’t there be a Worldly Immortal King? Maybe he had come from another place.

Luckily Cen Shuyin was brought away by this old moustached elder, as Mo Wuji hoped that the elder would be able to save her life. No matter what, once he finished building up Tian Ji Sect, he would go back to Heaven Seeking Palace to find out how Cen Shuyin was.

…

Yu Lin.

This was an area that was neither a state nor a prefecture. Even though Yu Lin was at the intersection of Xing Han Empire and Tian Shang Empire, it did not fall under the jurisdiction of either empire.

There was a large clan here: the Yu Lin Lei Clan.

The Lei Clan’s history was went even further back than some of the ancient clans around. Back in ancient times, the Lei Clan was one of the top clans which had a large number of True God Stage experts.

Only in the recent years did the Lei Clan begin to decline. Even so, the Lei Clan remained as the greatest Earth sect.

As the number of genius disciples in the Lei Clan grew, there was hope for it to return to the ranks of Heaven sects in the future.

In the area of Yu Lin, the Lei Clan was the law. Whatever the law dictated, everyone in Yu Lin would have to follow.

No one dared to fight against the Lei Clan, not even some Earth sects.

As a result, out of all clans, the Lei Clan’s cultivators were the strongest in battle strength in a particular cultivation level. This was due to their inherited lightning attribute spiritual roots, which meant that one would be a top notch expert if it appeared, with no equal in the same cultivation level.

The surname of the Lei Clan [1] had arose from their lightning attribute spiritual roots, and it was so until today.

Li Yi was a small town at the borders of Yu Lin district, and because the Yu Lin Lei Clan was so strong, this small town had always flourished. Other than Lei Clan disciples, almost no horse bandits and cultivators dared to make a ruckus here.

Changing his appearance into that of a regular middle aged rogue cultivator, Mo Wuji entered Li Yi Town. Inside, there seemed to be barely any indications of the alien cultivators’ invasion.
