Chapter 272: The Little Chicken’s Successor (2/2)
Following which, he threw out a few more array flags, and a new tunnel appeared before all of them. The end of the tunnel was where they had come from, which was not obstructed by anything.
Feng Zhenqiu and co. sped out of the tunnel with Mo Wuji at the back. The array flags in his hands landed continuously, and within a few minutes time, he rushed out to join the others.
”Sect Head Mo, your array dao is simply too strong, Feng Zhe is really impressed.” Feng Zhe said emotionally as he saw Mo Wuji approach them.
To that Mo Wuji only laughed, but did not answer. This set of methods had been carved out by Chu Xingzi under the ice mountain, and he only copied them. If he did not have Chu Xingzi’s method for breaking the trap array, even if he could find the exit, it would definitely not have gone unnoticed by Jing Gumu.
”Did Jing Gumu find out?” Feng Zhenqiu asked softly.
”He will find out soon so we have to increase our speed.” After finishing the sentence, Mo Wuji went even faster.
The few of them were extremely strong people, and on top of that they did not have anything to guard against when leaving, unlike when they entered. Thus, within a few minutes, all of them charged out of the crevice.
An angry howl echoed out from underground, and Mo Wuji shouted, ”Quickly leave.”
At this moment everyone increased their speed to the maximum even without Mo Wuji’s reminder. They were no fools, and they knew that Mo Wuji had agitated the Scholar’s Heart.
Not leaving when the Scholar’s Heart exploded would be waiting for death.
The frightening burning sensation seemed as though as it would envelop them at any moment, so who would dare to get left behind then?
A few minutes later, they felt the temperature behind them drop, and only then did they dare to stop to take a look.
The place that they had come from was originally a small hilly area, but now the hills had completely disappeared. As for the short, big volcano, it had vanished completely. A large crater had appeared in the distance, and from it emanated terrifying amounts of heat.
”What a strong Scholar’s Heart…” Xing Huang exclaimed.
No one mentioned Jing Gumu, as they all knew that there wasn’t even the pulp of him remaining.
”This went rather well. Alliance Head, your array dao is really strong. When we return, you should take charge of the Five Elements Desolate Domain’s defensive array.” Feng Zhenqiu respected Mo Wuji even more after witnessing the extent of Mo Wuji’s strength in array dao.
As Mo Wuji was last in the group, the back of his clothes had been burnt off from the heat of the fire. He changed into a fresh set of clothes, and waved off the comment, ”Everyone, I will be doing closed door cultivation somewhere for a period of time, so I will not have the time to manage the affairs of the Hundred Sect Alliance. I’ll temporarily pass on the title of Alliance Head to Dean Feng.”
As he spoke, Mo Wuji took out his contribution points token and passed it to Feng Zhenqiu.
Feng Zhenqiu quickly placed Linglong on a jade bed, then received the contribution points token before asking, ”Alliance head, even if you undergo closed door cultivation, you still can continue managing the Hundred Sect Alliance.”
But Mo Wuji just shook his head, ”Other than undergoing closed door cultivation, I will be travelling for a period of time, possibly returning only a few years later, or even decades later. The Hundred Sect Alliance cannot be without an alliance head, so could Dean Feng please temporarily take up that role? I’ll have to request for Dean Feng to help out regarding Linglong’s injuries too.”
Hearing Mo Wuji put it that way, Feng Zhenqiu had nothing to say. Mo Wuji was very assertive, and the way he did things was very unique. Once he had decided on something, no one would be able to convince him otherwise. Moreover, his cultivation level was indeed quite low, and it was still acceptable for him to choose closed door cultivation. As for Linglong’s injuries, even if Mo Wuji did not mention it, Heaven Seeking Palace would still try their best to save her.
”If I’m not back for a prolonged period of time, Dean Feng please take care of Tian Ji Sect too.” Mo Wuji bowed respectfully towards Feng Zhenqiu.
After speaking, he continued to bow respectfully towards Feng Zhe and Fang Zhentian, ”Both of you are True God Stage experts, if Tian Ji Sect meets any trouble, I hope that you two will help them out on my account.”
Even when disregarding the fact that Mo Wuji might have had a Worldly Immortal Stage expert backing him up, just based on how easily he broke the Grade 7 trap array and brought them out, the three of them would have given Mo Wuji face.
Hence after Mo Wuji bowed respectfully and made his requests, all three of them quickly returned the bow, and pledged that they would take care of Tian Ji Sect.
All three of them were wise old men, so when they saw that Mo Wuji did not give special instructions to Xing Huang, they knew that he wanted to speak to Xing Huang in private. Thus after they agreed to Mo Wuji’s requests, they said their farewells and left.
”Sect head, you want to look for a place to undergo your closed door cultivation?” After the three of them left, Xing Huang asked immediately
Mo Wuji shook his head, ”I promised someone to make a trip to Zhen Mo Continent. So Tian Ji Sect’s Sect Head will temporarily be Sang Yiping. There should be sufficient spiritual energy at Tian Ji Sect, so Defender Xing can stay there for your closed door cultivation. When I’m not around, I’ll have to ask Defender Xing to take care of the sect.”
