Chapter 294: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Reemerges (2/2)
…
The same discussion happened on all plazas in Zhen Mo Continent with the three boards erected in them. Initially, all talks of Rogue Cultivator 2705 had died down after his name left the Mortal Board, but now he had become the main topic for everyone’s conversations.
…
Star King Mountain’s Star Lord Summit. A middle aged man wearing ordinary clothes stood with his hands behind his back, on the edge of a cliff, gazing into the long winding rivers in the distance.
A brown robed old man speedily walked over, softly speaking behind the middle aged man, ”Star Lord, Rogue Cultivator 2705 has appeared again. I heard that he got to rank 9831 of the Earth Board.”
”Oh, based on the duration of time, he should be at most in Yuan Dan Stage right? A Yuan Dan Stage entering the Earth Board, he’s this extraordinary? No wonder he became rank 1 on Star King Mountain’s Mortal King Board.” The middle aged man referred to as Star Lord suddenly turned around, and spoke agitatedly.
”That’s right, have the men that the Xia Clan sent to Lost Continent returned?”
The brown robed man quickly replied, ”They haven’t, including Worldly Immortal Stage Gu Qi. I suspect that there’s some top notch expert on the Lost Continent that made all of them stay behind.”
The middle aged Star Lord nodded his head, ”This is not impossible. Back when the Lost Continent’s rules were not destroyed, they had more prodigies, and there were many more experts over there as compared to Zhen Mo Continent. You should instead focus on monitoring the Xia Clan, and don’t allow them to return to the Lost Continent again. But since Rogue Cultivator 2705 has come to Zhen Mo Continent, I doubt that the Xia Clan will want to go back to the Lost Continent.”
”Yes Star Lord. Should I look for Rogue Cultivator 2705, and protect him from the shadows? Otherwise I’m afraid that the Xia Clan will harm him.” The brown robed old man whispered.
After a long period of silence, the middle aged Star Lord sighed, ”A genius that requires protection is not truly a genius. Let him be. If he is able to survive, it means that he is indeed the person that will save our Zhen XIng. If he can’t even survive, then there’s no need to talk about anything else. Moreover, he was able to make it so far precisely because he is a rogue cultivator with no one to protect him.”
As he finished speaking, the middle aged Star Lord shook his head, seemingly mumbling to himself, ”It’s a pity that this guy is too pale, with the look of a scholar. He’s not the ideal person…”
He had obtained the details of how Rogue Cultivator 2705 looked like from the Xia Clan, which described Mo Wuji’s pale scholar disguise.
...
At the same time in Star King Mountain’s Star Wars Hall Xia Clan.
Xia Mu had just come out from cultivation, and as compared to when he had just arrived at the Lost Continent a few years ago, the Xia Mu now had a stable and sharp aura about him. The aura around him had settled down, and he began to appear like an expert.
”Young master, there’s news about Rogue Cultivator 2705.” The short Rhodes ran in excitedly. Since Ceng Houyi was killed, most of Xia Mu’s tasks were entrusted to him.
”Where?” A pleasant look of surprise instantly appeared on Xia Mu’s face as he suddenly stood up. However, he soon thought of his father’s teachings, hence sitting down once again, and suppressing the rashness in his heart.
Rhodes replied, ”He got on the Earth Board, and is rank 9831.”
This made Xia Mu stunned for a while, before he spoke again, ”This guy is indeed impressive, to be able to reach rank 9831 in a short few years’ time.”
He was indeed rather shocked, as he had barely reached the top 1,000 in rank on the Earth Board after hustling till today. At the same time, he was very aware that his rank was fake. In actuality, he might really be outside the top 2,000 ranks.
”I want to report this to my father.” Xia Mu soon came to a decision.
The Rogue Cultivator 2705 could sneakily take out Ceng Houyi, hence he probably was seeking death if he faced Rogue Cultivator 2705 alone. On top of that, he had forced Rogue Cultivator 2705’s dao companion to her death, so Rogue Cultivator 2705 probably had a big grudge against him.
A deep voice laced with joy came from the door, ”My son seems to have improved recently, to know how to plan before taking action.”
”Father,” Xia Mu immediately stood to one side and bowed upon seeing the man that had entered. It was his father that had come in, Star King Mountain Star Wars Hall’s Hall Master Xia Dandao.
”Greetings Hall Master,” Rhodes bowed respectfully towards Xia Dandao before leaving carefully.
Xia Dandao walked to the seat that Xia Mu just stood up from, and spoke, ”Star Lord has noticed that Rogue Cultivator 2705, so if you want to act, you cannot act openly. This will be bad for the Xia Clan. Find out his location first.”
”Yes father.” Xia Mu quickly replied. Rogue Cultivator 2705 definitely had to die by his hands. He was no longer the Xia Mu from a few years ago. Even if his father had not said so, he would not have openly gone to kill Rogue Cultivator 2705.
