Chapter 636: Venerable Envoy From The Very High Heavens (2/2)

Gai Ao chuckled, ”My daughter hasn’t left the house but her elbow already seems to be bending in the opposite direction. I’m afraid that in the future, you might not even recognise this old father of yours.”

Gai Feilan’s face turned bright red as she said hurriedly, ”Father only knows how to talk nonsense.”

Gao Ao then said with a serious face, ”This Pill Master Mo is considered quite loyal and affectionate, and he is also rather capable. He just barely meets your requirements. However, that does not mean that he has met my requirements. If he wants to marry my, Gai Ao’s, daughter, this is far from enough. If he isn’t able to get out of his own problems, then such a person really isn’t worth my, Gai Ao’s, eye. A fella that only knows how to draw trouble to himself; am I supposed to protect him from all of that?”

”Father…” When Gai Feilan heard these words, she instantly went anxious.

Ever since she came back to life from the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, Gai Feilan had set a standard for her dao companion. For one, he must be capable. Two, he must be loyal and true to his closed ones. Three, he must have the courage to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond for his closed ones. Regarding her three conditions, it was because she wanted to find a man that was like her father; capable and doting of her. After all, she was saved from the Soul Condensing Pond because of her father Gai Ao.

In reality, when she set these standards, she basically doomed herself to a life without a dao companion. Where was she going to find such a person? Even if there were people that could meet the first two criteria, there wasn’t anyone that could fulfil the third one. After all, anyone who jumped and entered into the Soul Condensing Pond would basically die. However, such a person had actually appeared; that person was the newcomer Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji hadn’t ascended to the Immortal World for a long time, yet he had already become a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor. How impressive was that? Additionally, Mo Wuji singlehandedly, with no regards for his own life, jumped into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond to save his friend from the cultivation world. Even though he did not manage to successfully save his friend, his mere act of doing it had already met Gai Feilan’s standards.

Sa Jian said indifferently, ”My Great Sword Path will naturally know how to show our respects when the people from up there come. However, this junior actually dared to show disrespect to my Great Sword Path. This is no longer a personal matter as it also involves my Great Sword Path’s reputation.”

At the same time, Sa Jian transmitted a message to Ni Ju, ”Immediately kill him. No matter what happens, our Great Sword Path will be able to take the blame.”

Knowing that Mo Wuji had borrowed Zhuo Pingan’s power to kill an Immortal Emperor from Lightning Sect, Sa Jian had always been in a state of threat. The longer Mo Wuji was alive, the greater that threat would be. This place was not the best place to kill Mo Wuji, in fact, this place would result in the most serious consequences if he were to kill Mo Wuji. However, no matter how serious the consequences could be, it would not be as important to him as his own life.

Sa Jian did not think that he was more impressive than Lightning Sect’s Qi Junyi. Mo Wuji was even able to kill Qi Junyi. Now that Mo Wuji had also publicly announced that he would stand up for Tian Ji Sect, how could he, Sa Jian, want to continue taking this risk? Sa Jian did not know how powerful Mo Wuji was, but he had done his investigations. He had to take this opportunity that Zhuo Pingan wasn’t around to kill Mo Wuji; it would be too late if Mo Wuji was to regroup with Zhuo Pingan.

If Mo Wuji was dead, he would have to accept a portion of the blame. However, he believed that Ku Zhu would be able to see the benefits that he would offer. As long as he paid the compensation, and helped Ku Zhu to regain this loss in reputation, then no one would care about the already dead Mo Wuji.

NI Ju had long wanted to kill Mo Wuji. Now that he had received his master’s orders, why would he still be patient; his killing intent concentrated as he prepared to stab with his spear.

Just at this moment, a resonant voice resounded, ”Please welcome the Venerable Envoy from the Very High Heavens!”

”Hurry and stop.” When Sa Jian heard that voice, he didn’t care about anything else as he hurriedly pulled Ni Ju back.

Ni Ju was not a fool; when he heard that voice, he had also paused before his master even said anything. If they were to act against Mo Wuji now, his master and him would be killed, and even his Great Sword Path would be razed.

The Great Sword Path was strong, but no matter how strong it was, it was nothing but an ant when compared to the Very High Heavens.

Mo Wuji cursed in his heart; if Ni Ju and Sa Jian didn’t make a move, then he really didn’t dare to do so either. He could only swear at this dogsh*t envoy for coming at such a timing; if this envoy had arrived 10 breaths later, he was confident that he would have been able to eliminate Sa Jian and his disciple.

At this instant, a clean-shaven youth in yellow robes had already walked in. There were two people by his side; Mo Wuji recognised one of them as Heavenly Chasm City’s Castellan Ku Zhu. The other person was wearing a crown; he had brown hair, a tall and sturdy figure, and bright eyes. His aura was not half a bit weaker than Gai Ao. Mo Wuji guessed that this person was very likely to be Gods Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor, Ou Gu.

Seeing these three people walk in, the originally scattered immortals came from all over to pay their respects and greetings. Mo Wuji saw that even Gao Ao had clasped his fists in respects, and he knew that the yellow robed youth definitely wasn’t simple. He had heard of the Very High Heavens; even though he didn’t know what kind of plaything this Venerable Envoy was, he did not dare to be conspicuous as he joined the rest of the crowd to clasp his fists.

The yellow robed youth swept across the crowd, then he said gently, ”Everyone, please be at ease. Today, I have received to orders to come here for the Gods Tower. At the same time, we will select several exceptional disciples to cultivate in the Very High Heavens…”

Everyone knew that this envoy from the Very High Heavens was definitely here because of the Gods Tower. However, they never expected that the Very High Heavens would also be selecting disciples to go there and train. At this instant, everyone held their breaths in anticipation as they waited for the names of the lucky people to have been chosen by the Very High Heavens.

The yellow robed youth nodded, seemingly satisfied with the respect paid towards him. He announced loudly, ”May the following disciples prepare yourself, the moment the Gods Tower closes, you will follow me to enter the Very High Heavens. Six Paths Immortal Domain Devil Immortal School’s Lu Jiazhi, Sala Buddha Immortal Domain Seven Buddha Great Temple’s Yi Ning, Gods Immortal Domain Green Immortal School’s Qing Ruoyue, Luo Ling Immortal Domain Great Sword Path’s Fang Shijiang…”
