As he thought of this, Mo Wuji suddenly said, ”If you wish to recuperate in Tian Ji Sect, it's possible. However, you must join Tian Ji Sect. Or alternatively, you must at least stay in Tian Ji Sect for 10 years. During these 10 years, if Tian Ji Sect faces any attacks, you must help out. Of course, you must first swear a blood oath.”

After establishing a blood oath, one must fully accord to it. Otherwise, you'll die terribly with your ashes scattered and soul destroyed.

What completely astounded Mo Wuji was that the Three-eyed Dhuta did not even hesitate and say, ”Alright, I agree. I, Xing Huang, swear a blood oath to remain for 10 years, to live and die with Tian Ji Sect.”

As he spoke, the Three-eyed Dhuta made a small cut on his forehead; a sphere of blood energy shot out as he began his blood oath. He did not even wait for Mo Wuji to speak a second time.

Mo Wuji stared at the Three-eyed Dhuta in astonishment, contemplating whether he had made a mistake. Wasn't this a little too easy?

”Sect Head Mo, I'm already a man of Tian Ji Sect. What do you intend me to do?” Seeing the astonishment on Mo Wuji's face, the Three-eyed Dhuta, who had already swore the blood oath, took the initiative to say.

Mo Wuji regained his countenance then said, ”Brother Xing, you've already sworn the blood oath so I don’t believe that you would deceive me. But my Tian Ji Sect is merely a Xuan sect, what benefit do you have from staying here? And even 10 years at that?”

Since Xing Huang had become Tian Ji Sect’s man, Mo Wuji no longer had to worry about the cultivation difference.

”Sect Head Mo, since you asked, I will tell you the truth. Initially, I planned to stay here and recuperate, and at the same time, charge up to the True God Stage…”

”Brother Xing, you intend to charge into the True God Stage?” Mo Wuji asked in surprise.

Xing Huang nodded, ”I fought with that Great Evolution Sect fella exactly because of a Flower of the True Gods. He was also at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. So when he encountered a Flower of the True Gods, he naturally wouldn’t let it go.”

Mo Wuji instantly frowned, ”According to my knowledge, the Flower of the True Gods only appeared within the Five Elements Desolate Domain. You say that you and that Gu Jiqing were fighting over a Flower, how can I believe you?”

Xing Huang laughed, ”Because we were fighting since the Five Elements Desolate Domain.”

Raising his hand to stop Mo Wuji from interrupting, Xing Huang continued, ”I heard that because of the Zhen Mo Continent experts, the Five Elements Desolate Domain has been completely opened, and there is no longer any restrictions. At this moment, the Five Elements Desolate Domain has become a mess and everyone wants to head in there to try their luck.”

Mo Wuji’s eyebrows started twitching. He was clearly cognizant of the treasure trove that is the Five Elements Desolate Domain. His Tian Ji Sect had just been rebuilt and was at its greatest need for various treasures. Since the Five Elements Desolate Domain had been fully opened, his Tian Ji Sect must not miss out on this opportunity.

”Of course, there is more to my explanation. You asked why I wanted to stay in the sect for 10 years. Initially, it was indeed because I wanted to recover from my injuries. But eventually, I really wanted to join Tian Ji Sect, because I suddenly recalled your name, Mo Wuji.”

When Xing Huang finished that sentence, he quietly faced Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji faintly laughed, ”Brother Xing, if I’m not wrong, we didn’t even meet back at the Heaven Seeking Palace, much less interact. However, your words made it sound like you know me.”

Since Xing Huang had already mentioned it, it showed that Xing Huang already knew that he was once a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace.

Xing Huang nodded, ”We’re indeed not acquainted. But I do know a disciple who recognises you.”

”Oh, who is it?” Mo Wuji started wondering about which disciple in the Heaven Seeking Palace was actually acquainted to both Xing Huang and him.

”She’s called Zuo Shaoying. She was actually an outer disciple of the Sword Lake. I saw that she had a simple nature and she was a dilligent worker, so I got her as my helper. On that day you returned to the Heaven Seeking Palace, you must have met her. Even though she didn’t follow you, she was observing you from afar. She saw that you had gone to the Heaven Seeking Staircase and waited there. She only left when the sun had came up. Afterwards, she noticed that a blank name had taken up the number one spot on the Heaven Seeking Staircase. If I didn’t guess wrongly, you should have climbed the Heaven Seeking Staircase, and you are the number one on the Heaven Seeking Board…” Xing Huang said with a serious tone.

Mo Wuji immediately furrowed his brows. Honestly, the impression Zuo Shaoying gave him was extremely good. It was as Xing Huang said, she was a simple and dilligent girl. But when she revealed the matter of him ascending the Heaven Seeking Staircase, from a certain perspective, did not have any benefits to him. Moreever, they only encountered each other twice, why did she wait for him for an entire night at the Heaven Seeking Staircase?

Xing Huang saw Mo Wuji’s frown and laughed, ”You don’t have to blame her. When she returned, she didn’t even tell a single soul. I only managed to get bits of the information out from her words. Eventually, she even said a few sentences to me, do you want to hear it?”

Mo Wuji thought, with Zuo Shaoying’s innocence, in front of a sly fox like Xing Huang, it was indeed impossible to hide the truth.

Before Mo Wuji said anything, Xing Huang continued, ”She said, she used to think that the two of you were the same; both of you were outer disciples, the same kind of people. However, after seeing you attain the number one spot from the Heaven Seeking Staircase, she knew that the two of you weren’t the same. On the second day after you left, she also bade her farewells to me. She didn’t even inform her sister as she left the Heaven Seeking Palace. As to where she went, I also don’t know. According to the meaning behind her words, what she needed isn’t cultivation, but a life which belongs to her.”

Mo Wuji sighed inwardly, hoping that this innocent girl could lead a better life in the future.

Xing Huang did not continue speaking. He did not know the relationship between Zuo Shaoying and Mo Wuji so he maintained his silence.

After some time, Mo Wuji asked, ”Brother Xing, since you know that I’ve reached the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase, why didn’t you think that I’ve some secret in me?”
