Chapter 706: Sword Prison’s Exit (2/2)

”You are here to join my Ping Fan?” Mo Wuji’s gaze swept across the group.

”Yes. I plead Sect Head Mo to take us,” Su Zi’An said with greater respect.

”Sect Head, just now when Bai Ye came, Junior Sister Qingru asked those that wish to join Ping Fan to go to her side. Three people didn’t go over. They should have believed that Bai Ye was going to win. Unfortunately for them, sect head was the one who emerged victorious,” Fei Ling said when he saw that everyone seemed to want to join Ping Fan.

Mo Wuji rushed over to Sword Prison just to save Han Qingru. He, Fei Ling, naturally knew Han Qingru’s position in Ping Fan. If not because of the fact that his cultivation and his power was vastly superior to Han Qingru, he would have even addressed Han Qingru as ‘Senior Sister’. But doing so would make his bootlicking a little too obvious.

The reason why he said these words was because he was worried that Han Qingru was overly kind and wouldn’t be willing to reveal that matter. However, he did not know that Han Qingru would have mentioned it, even if he didn’t.

Perhaps the Han Qingru back in the Corner of Yong Ying wouldn’t have said it. But after experiencing so many things, Han Qingru was very clear what should be said, and what shouldn’t.

”Yes, Wuji, there were indeed three people that weren’t willing to join Ping Fan just now.” Han Qingru also walked over.

Mo Wuji’s gaze swept across the group and he said indifferently, ”The three people that weren’t willing to join Ping Fan, please take your leave. We don’t need the few of you here.”

Three cultivators that were covered in injuries walked out with their heads lowered. They didn’t say anything; they only clasped their fists towards Mo Wuji, then turned and left swiftly. The three of them knew that they managed to get out of the Vine Mountain of Safety after much difficulty, but they were probably going to perish within the sword qi of Sword Prison.

Mo Wuji didn’t show any sympathy. Why would he want disciples that only came when the sect was doing well, and not when the sect needed them the most? Did they treat the sect as their own thing?

”Many thanks to Sect Head Mo for your help.” Wei Zidao had already recovered some of his power. He stood up, clasped his fists, and prepared to walk out of the defensive array.

Mo Wuji suddenly uttered, ”Brother Zidao, if you are willing to join my Ping Fan, you can stay. Of course, if you join my Ping Fan, then you must swear not to do anything detrimental to Ping Fan.”

In reality, among Pang Hong, Wei Zidao, and Shang Hegao, Wei Zidao was the person that Mo Wuji was most willing to befriend.

People are inherently selfish. There was nothing wrong with Wei Zidao’s actions if you looked at it from his perspective. According to Wei Zidao’s belief, if he didn’t take back the 5 kilometers of land, then Pang Hong and Shang Hegao wouldn’t cooperate with him. On the other hand, if he took back the 5 kilometers of land, he would be able to obtain large amounts of Sword Qi River river water, large enough to point of recovery. Thus, it wasn’t a hard decision to choose to offend someone he just got to know.

”Sect Head Mo.” Wei Zidao looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment.

Mo Wuji didn’t say a word, he only waited for Wei Zidao to make his decision. There were several reasons why he wanted to take in Wei Zidao. For one, Wei Zidao’s character was not bad. Secondly, Wei ZIdao was a late stage Immortal Emperor; just one more step and he would be a Grand Emperor. If they managed to leave, his Ping Fan would need Grand Emperors, and multiple Grand Emperors at that.

”Wei Zidao is willing to join Ping Fan. From today onwards, Wei Zidao swears to not do anything which may be harmful to Ping Fan, nor to treat Sect Head Mo as an enemy. If I violate these oath, then inner demons would enter my body, and I would be struck to death by lightning.” Wei Zidao immediately reacted and he did not hesitate to swear an oath.

After being trapped in Sword Prison for so many years, how could not know what to choose at this point? If they couldn’t escape, then what’s the difference if he swore or not? But if swearing was able to get him out, then he wouldn’t mind even if he had to swear to worse terms.

Moreover, he had never intended to go against his words. This sort of oath was of no influence to him at all.

Mo Wuji said contentedly, ”From today onwards, Brother Zidao will be the Revered Right Protector of my Ping Fan. If we manage to get out of here, I will definitely find some ways to help Brother Zidao to advance and become a Grand Emperor.”

It was extremely meaningful to Mo Wuji that Wei Zidao joined Ping Fan. Wei Zidao was already so powerful within a place like Sword Prison. If he were to leave Sword Prison, then an average late stage Immortal Emperor definitely wouldn’t be able to contest against him. Moreover, Wei Zidao was very sincere with his oath; he also swore that he wouldn’t treat Mo Wuji as an enemy.

”Yes, sect head.” Wei Zidao had already weighed the costs and benefits and he had firmed his decision. Since he entered Ping Fan, he was going to be a man of Ping Fan. Before entering Sword Prison, he was a rogue cultivator. Previously, he didn’t join a sect because he was afraid of the constraints and restrictions of a sect.

Fortunately, he was the Revered Right Protector. Above him, there was only the sect head. He would still be able to maintain a high degree of freedom. Even if there was a Left Protector, that Left Protector would only be on the same level as him.

Mo Wuji’s eyes then turned to the other people, ”My Ping Fan still isn’t established. But the moment we leave Sword Prison, Ping Fan will be the number school in the entire Immortal World. Those that are willing to join Ping Fan, express your intentions. If you are unwilling, you can still stay here in this plaza. Even though it cannot be compared to the Vine Mountain of Safety, it’s still a thousand better than the rest of Sword Prison.

Joining Ping Fan was the only good option. Excluding Su Zi’An, the remaining six people all didn’t show any dissent. All six of them swore to never betray Ping Fan.

Mo Wuji nodded. These people had been staying in Sword Prison for a long time. By now, they already know how terrifying Sword Prison was. If he was the one tortured in Sword Prison for millennia, he would have the same thoughts.

”Sect head, four of us are actually from Tian Ji Sect. It’s just that Tian Ji Sect has been exterminated, and we were thrown into Sword Prison. This was also why we didn’t dare to reveal our origins. But now that sect head is our leader, Su Zi’An would no longer continue hiding this truth.” After Su Zi’An brought the other three people to join Ping Fan, he directly revealed the truth about his origins.

”You all are from Tian Ji Sect?” Mo Wuji asked in astonishment.
