Chapter 695: Establishing a Footing
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
A man donning a yellow robe was muttering furiously to himself near a pool of blood. Anyone could tell he was the one who massacred the dragon race of the West Moat Ocean.
”Who is this unfamiliar face?” someone asked.
”How could an expert of such caliber be unknown in the Immortal Realm? He must have been disfigured.” Another answered.
Au Yulu’s faced flushed red with embarrassment. Over the years, she spreaded hatred of Mo Wuji wherever she went.
Reality hit her hard, the person she had been shaming all these years turned out to be the sole benefactor of her race.
At this moment, she felt like someone was who bite the hand that fed her.
”Au Yulu, our race pride ourselves with repaying kindness with gratitude. You didn't even bother finding out the truth, but instead chose repay Mo Wuji’s kindness towards us by ruining his reputation.” Au Sangzi said coldly.
”Even if that was so, why did he not bother explaining to me….” Au Yulu broke off halfway through her speech. She realised she had refused to listen despite Mo Wuji’s attempt at explaining.
Back then, she refused to listen to Mo Wuji when he explained that it was not him who commited the crime and that things were not what they looked like.
The crowd understood what was going on from the look on Au Yulu’s face. Au Sangzi said indifferently: ”I believe that you refused to give brother Wuji a chance to explain did you? Mo Wuji was of a low cultivation level when he rescued us, he could never have stood a chance against a Grand Luo Immortal like you. Our race would forever hang our head in shame should he have died in your hands.”
”I am so sorry that i’ve wronged him.” Au Yulu walked up to Wen Lianxi and bowed as apology. She understood what had happened then, there was no doubt why Mo Wuji was covered in blood in such a situation.
She was honourable to have apologised upon knowing her mistakes.
Wen Lianxi calmly said: ”There is no need for your apologies, I do not have the seniority to accept your it, nor will we become friends in the future. I just believe that brother Wuji would not commit such atrocities and did not wish for him to be wronged.”
Wen Lianxi would not forgive Au Yulu no matter how many times she apologised. In her eyes, the Au Yulu was the reason why so many people were incited to kill brother Wuji.
”Didn’t I say Pill Refiner Mo would never do such things.”
”What about the time he murdered Jing Xing An master and disciple and the time he stole the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp?”
”How could you be sure Mo Wuji stole the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp when you had not seen it with your own eyes? Didn’t Au Yulu accuse Mo Wuji of massacring the dragon race? We all know what happened in the end.”
...
People who originally planned to crusade against Mo Wuji all had a change of heart upon hearing Au Sangzi’s explanation.
”The arrival of the envoy from the Very High Heavens!” A voice towered over the chattering crowd, silencing it at once.
The dense crowd parted, forming a pathway. There was order again amongst the many immortals in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin’s garden.
A man of great youth and stunning looks walked through the crowd. His minimalistic black robe exemplified his superior aura.
The immortals in Sharphorn Immortal Ruin’s garden stood in shock. It was common for them to have even seen the highest of all cultivation, the Immortal Emperor. The young man who donned a black robe had an aura no weaker than any Immortal Emperor. It was very possible that a man of such young age was one himself.
A man and women stood beside the young man who donned a black robe. The man was tall, lanky, and had wide palms. His gaze could be felt even though his eyes looked to be closed. There was nothing ordinary about this ordinary looking man. His body seemingly contained an explosive force that struck fear into the hearts of others.
The women had exceptional beauty, she was like a goddess in the morning fog, gentle and fleeting. She looked dignified yet frivolous.
