Chapter 679: Sister

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Mo Wuji drew out his spiritual eye once again, looking through the Lake of Poison. Perhaps he had dwelled in the lake for too long, as the crowd of cultivators had dispersed. Even Leng Yulin was no longer present, probably thinking that he had died.

After throwing the jade slip and the Cleansing Pill into the lake, Mo Wuji prepared to go ashore.

As he was in the Lake of Poison, his eyes might not have covered every corner of the shore. All these years, who knew how many dangerous situations Mo Wuji had went through, the last one even costing him Da Huang and almost his life.

Thus, even though Mo Wuji knew that there was no one on shore, he still teleported away instantly, disappearing from the edge of the Lake of Poison.

The grey clothed man that lay in ambush was worried that Mo Wuji would jump into the lake again, so he did not dare to go too close, preparing to act after Mo Wuji left the Lake of Poison. However, to his dismay, before he could make a move, Mo Wuji disappeared from the spot.

What a sly fellow, the grey clothed man thought to himself, and immediately chased in the direction that Mo Wuji escaped in. But moments later, he knew that this was a fruitless venture. He couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Mo Wuji’s shadow, much less catch up with Mo Wuji.

He hated himself for being too careless, at the same time confirming that Mo Wuji had obtained some treasure from the Lake of Poison. No matter what, he had to catch Mo Wuji. How was a mere Grand Zhi Immortal qualified to possess the treasure of the Lake of Poison. Those treasures should belong to him.

…

A good hour of escaping later, Mo Wuji finally found a location to start detoxifying himself.

The process of turning all of the poison in his body to immortal spiritual energy took two more hours, and 10 droplets of poison was forced out of his body to be kept in a jade bottle.

The Lake of Poison was extremely notorious for its toxicity which could even poison Immortal Emperors. However, this poison also had a unique characteristic, which was that it couldn’t leave the lake. Once it did, it would lose its toxicity very quickly.

The reason Mo Wuji kept a portion of the poison was to check if he could preserve the poison forced out through his detoxification channel.

Although his top priority was to research into the Water Elemental Bead in his possession, he did not dare to take it out here. The Water Elemental Bead was kept in his Undying World together with the few Primal Water Crystals, then he altered his appearance to the initial look he had when going to Extreme Glade City with Fu Jingfeng, before walking out.

”Whoosh!” Right as Mo Wuji walked out, a spatial ripple came his way.

At first, he wanted to attack, but after seeing the figure that landed, he gave up on that idea. This person was someone he knew, that young woman. He was still with her during the day, so who would have known that she would appear here suddenly?

However, Mo Wuji quickly realised the situation she was in. She probably got severely injured by someone and fled here using a talisman.

”Eh, it’s you? Why are you here?” The young woman was a little shocked after seeing Mo Wuji. How could an ordinary mortal like him run this deep into the wilderness?

”Sister, you’re hurt?” Mo Wuji stuttered as he asked.

With messed up hair, and bloodstains all over her check, you could see that this young woman was injured straight away. When she heard Mo Wuji’s words, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

As a mortal, Mo Wuji actually called her, a person at the Great Circle of Grand Luo Immortal, ‘Sister’. He was simply courting death. Luckily she did not like to kill, thus the thought of doing so never crossed her mind.

She only reached out and grabbed Mo Wuji before swiftly leaving their current position.

An incense’s time later, she finally stopped, throwing Mo Wuji onto the ground. She then spoke, ”Don’t tell anyone that you saw me… That’s right, you haven’t answered the question i asked just now. How did you end up here?”
