Chapter 266: They Really Came (2/2)
Heaven Seeking Palace.
A young cultivator blocked Mo Wuji's way, ”If you barge into the Heaven Seeking Palace, you will be killed without mercy.”
Mo Wuji did not rush in but fetched out a jade token and said, ”I'm the Hundred Sect Alliance Head and I urgently need to find the Pill Pagoda's Granny Linglong.”
”Alliance Head Mo…” Even though this cultivator hadn't gone to the Heaven Seeking City, he had long heard of Mo Wuji's illustrious name. He was once an outer disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace and under the alias of Rogue Cultivator 2705, he attained the number one spot on the Hundred Sect Alliance's contribution points ranking. Not only that, two years ago, he rose above several sect heads from large Quasi-Heaven sects to become the Hundred Sect Alliance Head.
After knowing that the person was Mo Wuji, the Heaven Seeking Palace's cultivator immediately retracted this killing intent and quickly bowed, ”Alliance Head Mo, I really want to let you into the Heaven Seeking Palace but you're no longer from the Heaven Seeking Palace. This is truly putting me in a difficult spot…”
”Let him in, if anything happens, I will be responsible.” A voice suddenly interrupted the disciple's words.
”Senior aunt Jinwen?” After the disciple saw who had arrived, he rushed to bow.
The person was exactly Shi Jinwen; she nodded to the disciple and then said to Mo Wuji, ”Back then, thanks for saving my life. If you're here to find my master, then you've wasted your trip. Ever since the great war, my master had never returned.”
Granny Linglong still hasn't come back? Mo Wuji instantly furrowed his brows. He was the one who saved Granny Linglong so he naturally knew that nothing would have happened to her. With Granny Linglong's cultivation at the True God Stage, even if she didn't return, she wouldn't have faced any great difficulty. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji no longer continued thinking about Granny Linglong's matters.
”Pill Master Jinwen, I need to go the Heaven Seeking Palace for some matters and I don't necessarily need to meet Granny Linglong,” Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said.
He truly didn't come here for Granny Linglong. What he just said was an excuse when that cultivator blocked him.
”Go in then. Dean Feng said it before, the Heaven Seeking Palace will always be your home,” Shi Jinwen replied.
Mo Wuji was the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, his position was far above her’s as a pill refiner of the Pill Pagoda.
”Many thanks,” With that, Mo Wuji's figure flashed as he entered the Heaven Seeking Palace. He was inwardly very grateful to Feng Zhenqiu; if not for Feng Zhenqiu's words, he might not be able to come in today.
In less than half an incense's time, Mo Wuji had arrived at that deep cliff next to the Pill Pagoda.
When Mo Wuji saw that the white moustached old man was still fishing by the cliff, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief, immediately bowing, ”Mo Wuji greets senior.”
The white moustached old man snickered, pulled on his fishing line and another colourless, transparent fish was seen. The old man's eyes revealed a hint of excitement as he hurried to keep the little fish in the wooden bucket beside him.
After doing all that, he then turned and said to Mo Wuji, ”Not bad, not bad, your luck is very good. Both times you came here, both times I got something good. Come, tell me why you're finding me.”
Mo Wuji bowed once more, ”Junior wants to request senior to help out for one thing. I hope that senior can see that since we're both from the same sect…”
”Stop,” The white moustached old man directly stopped Mo Wuji, stood up, scanned Mo Wuji up and down before saying, ”Those fellas are really fools. To actually take two years to come over…. Idiots, idiots…”
Mo Wuji looked at the old man quizzically; he completely didn't understand what this old man was saying.
The white moustached old man snorted, ”Did the Zhen Mo Continent experts come over? They want to find trouble for you so you came to look for me for help. Is that right?”
Mo Wuji hurriedly said, ”That's exactly the case. How did senior know?”
”Hehe!” The white moustached old man snickered, ”I’ve waited for this day for so long. Those fellas are really idiots, they clearly knew that monkey's ass died in your hands but they still took two years to get their asses here.”
Mo Wuji finally understood the meaning behind the white moustached old man's words; he was angered that the Zhen Mo Continent's experts took so long to come. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, ”These words of senior's are not true. That monkey's ass clearly died in your hands. I obviously didn't have the capabilities to kill him…”
With that, Mo Wuji did not continue any further. As he thought about it, that Ceng Houyi was really killed by him. The white moustached old man only heavily injured Ceng Houyi, robbed Ceng Houyi then ran away. Ultimately, Mo Wuji was the one who killed Ceng Houyi and even found a place to cremate him.
The white moustached old man stared at Mo Wuji with a wide grin on his face, ”Why don't you continue? Did that monkey's ass die in my hands or your hands?”
Mo Wuji stared speechlessly at this old fella. This fella looked as though he didn't have a care of the world but he wasn’t any different from a clever monkey. Perhaps he even specially informed the Zhen Mo Continent's people that Mo Wuji had killed Ceng Houyi and destroyed the evidence. No wonder why when Mo Wuji asked this old fella why he didn't stop the Zhen Mo Continent's investigation, this old fella acted like he didn't give a sh*t. Turns out this old schemer was waiting for this day.
”Since everything was in Senior's calculations, then why must senior include me inside? And what must I do in order for senior to help me out this once?” After knowing that this old man had schemed against him, Mo Wuji directly discussed in the form of a transaction.
