Chapter 698: I Will Not Give You Any Face (2/2)

”But we have just finished setting up the arrays here, moreover Gobi Desert has a much stronger sword qi, it is also near the whirlpool….” Fei Ling said with much uneasiness.

Mo Wuji had an ominous feeling when he combed his surrounding area with his spiritual will.

”If that is so, I will leave for the Gobi Desert with Han Qingru, you can stay here alone if you wish.” Mo Wuji stood up. Han Qingru too stood up without any hesitation. She was willing to follow Mo Wuji wherever he went.

”I am willing to follow you Sect Head.” Fei Ling felt that he had no choice but to follow Mo Wuji, he was nothing but a sitting duck were he to stay without him.

Mo Wuji stared at Fei Ling intently and said: ”I am the Sect Head of Ping Fan. Albeit it is still not well established, but I have no doubt that it one day will become the top immortal sect. I have to ask you this, are you willing to make an oath and join the sect? If you’re not, I will have to leave you here with some pills.”

Fei Ling was speechless.

None of it mattered to Fei Ling in this point of time. Even the strongest of immortals from the Very High Heavens could not break out of the sword prison. What Mo Wuji promised to achieve outside of the sword prison in the Immortal World had no significance to him.

Fei Ling recovered from his initial shock and made a decision. He bowed and said to Mo Wuji: ”Fei Ling is willing to become a disciple in the Ping Fan Sect. Fei Ling would be shot by lightning and consumed by his inner demons, never to achieve the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor should he do anything to let the Sect Head down.”

Mo Wuji nodded and handed two jade bottles to Fei Ling. ”These bottles contained two Zhi Nature Pill and six Immortal Copious Pills respectively. Use it to treat your injuries.”

Mo Wuji was sure that Fei Ling made his oath sincerely and truthfully, else he would have left him. Mo Wuji was sure that there had to be way to escape the sword prison, he was unsure however if he could ever find it.

Each and every pill would become very precious to Mo Wuji should he fail to find a way out. Mo Wuji felt that there was no need to be stingy with Fei Ling as he felt his resolve to join Ping Fan.

”Thank you Sect Head” In retrospect, Fei Ling thought that he should have joined the Ping Fan Sect earlier should he have know that it would get him these powerful pills from Mo Wuji.

”Lets leave here now” Mo Wuji said as Fei Ling kept the pills.

A voice bellowed from outside the caves as Fei Ling was about to ask Mo Wuji what to do with the arrays. ”Where is Mo Sect Head?”

”It must be Shang Hegao.” Fei Ling recognised the voice.

Mo Wuji brought Fei Ling and Han Qingru out of the caves as he lifted the defensive arrays.

Eight man stood waiting outside his defensive arrays. There were six Immortal Emperors, including Wei Zidao as well as two more Quasi Emperors.

Although Wei Zidao looked to have recovered from all his physical injuries, his breath was still short and unstable. He had not fully recovered from his ordeal at the Sword Qi River.

”And what brings you here?” Mo Wuji asked humbly.

Shang Hegao said: ”I heard that brother Zidao exchanged 5km of land for some Zhi Nature Pill with you. I too wish to obtain some Zhi Nature Pills from you.”

Mo Wuji kept a calm outlook and looked at Wei Zidao, Wei Zidao however dared not meet his gaze.

How could Mo Wuji not understand Shang Hegao’s intentions. Shang Hegao wanted Mo Wuji to give him Zhi Nature pills in exchange for the land that Mo Wuji had already owned.

”So you have came to demand for some Zhi Nature Pills?” Mo Wuji said calmly.

Mo Wuji was not afraid that Shang Hegao and co. would attempt to murder him here. He had many deathtrap arrays set up and was confident on taking them on. Additionally, he knew that they would never murder him here on the Vine Mountain of Safety as no one would risk damaging the only safe haven in sword prison.

”That is correct. I am demanding four Zhi Nature Pills for this land you’re standing on. I will not hesitate to reclaim it should you refuse.” Pang Hong was blunt.

Mo Wuji’s gaze fell on Wei Zidao: ”Did you come to ask for Zhi Nature Pills too?”

Wei Zhidao knew he could avoid it no more, he said apologetically: ”I would never dare ask for more Zhi Nature Pills from you Mo Sect Head. I am willing to buy four more pill from you if you’re willing to sell them. Please understand that I have no choice but to return this land to Shang Hegao and Pang Hong as I have owed them a huge favour.” Wei Zhidao continued: ”There is no need to worry about accommodations Mo Sect Head. My Immortal Hunters have far better accomodations for you. Please do me the honour of providing you with one.”

Mo Wuji said coldly: ”I will not.”
