Chapter 721: Escape Or Die (2/2)

”What’s the matter?” Even though Mo Wuji was responding to Su Rou’Er, his spiritual will had already reached the site of the explosion. It was actually a ruins that was not much different from the third level’s Broken Ruins. This ruins seemed to be concealed by some array.

In front of these ruins, there were at least 1 to 2 hundred people. That explosion just now was due to the combined attack of these people on that array.

The aura of the Book of Luo seeped out from the ruins, and he definitely wasn’t the only one that caught that aura.

As he was responding to Su Rou’Er, Mo Wuji took out to Dry Wimple Pills and handed them to Su Rou’Er and Dou Hualong, ”The two of you, first eat these Dry Wimple Pills, then change your appearance. We will revert back only when we return back to the sect.”

Mo Wuji also wiped his face as he turned back to Rogue Cultivator 2705.

Mo Wuji wasn’t worried that Lei Hongji would reveal his identity. If Lei Hongji was the one who won the previous battle, that Lei Hongji would like have informed the experts of Lightning Sect to wait at the entrance of the fourth level to ambush and kill him, Mo Wuji.

But since Lei Hongji was the one who lost, then with his stellar talent and his immense pride, he would want to rely on his own power to eventually get back at Mo Wuji. If Lei Hongji didn’t even have such a mentality, his future would have been limited, and he definitely wouldn’t have gotten to where he was today.

Thus, Mo Wuji was sure that Lei Hongji would come back to battle him; not only would Lei Hongji do it to build his self-confidence, he would do it to realise his own Dao. If it was him, he would also have done the same. If he wasn’t able to defeat an opponent that was at the same stage, he would rely on his own power to get back at his opponent.

Su Rou’Er swallowed the Dry Wimple Pill and changed her appearance. Then, she said, ”These years, Junior Brother Hualong and I have been hiding in Water Ying Immortal City. Originally, we wanted to pay a visit to Senior Sister Wen Lianxi. However, we found out that Water Ying Immortal City was being surveilled, and the Water Ying Castellan does not seem to be able to leave the city…”

Mo Wuji frowned; Water Ying Immortal City should be a high grade immortal city; so who would dare to surveil the city? However, it was true that Wen Lianxi’s father’s, Wen Hou’s, cultivation was slightly too low. After they returned, he would find some time to pay a visit to Water Ying Immortal City. After all, Wen Lianxi’s family is not bad.

…

Water Ying Immortal City.

When compared to the rest of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, this immortal city was truly unremarkable. Back then, this place had some geographical importance since it was located near to the Corner of Yong Ying. Thereafter, the Corner of Yong Ying had become trashed, and Water Ying Immortal City had become the city right at the fringe of the Immortal Domain.

If not because of the results attained by Mo Wuji during the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition which allowed this city to be promoted to become a high grade city, fewer people would know of this place.

At this moment, Water Ying Immortal City’s Castellan Wen Hou was sitting in his residences. His entire face was filled with fatigue and worry; his eyes were clearly brimming with anxiety. On his table, there was a bright red invitation card. The veins on his hand were protruding; clearly, his heart was not at ease.

A few years ago, Water Ying Immortal City avoided a crisis when it was promoted to a high grade immortal city. Back then, Wen Hou thought that Water Ying Immortal City would continue on this trajectory and continue to get better. He also thought that within a short time, his cultivation would reach the Immortal Reverent Stage. However, after all these years, his cultivation did not rise even a single bit; it was exactly the same as he was previously. It wasn’t because he had a lacking talent, but because Water Ying Immortal City was currently even worse than a low grade immortal city.

By his side, were his wife Yan Qianling and his best friend Tan Liang. Because of his time with several Pill Emperors, Tan Liang’s Pill Dao had reached a higher level; he was currently a Tier 5 Pill King.

”Wen Hou, Lianxi has gone to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. If she gets chosen by the Very High Heavens, that guy wouldn’t dare to do anything to us even if he already advanced into the Immortal Emperor Stage,” Yan Qianling sighed and advised softly.

This red card was an invitation card from Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun after he advanced into the Immortal Emperor Stage. In the seven Immortal Domains, only Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun who had a name that sounded greater than his actual capability. This was because he wasn’t an Immortal Emperor. Originally, he wanted to make his of the alchemy competition to obtain an Emperor Dao Fruit from Yunxian Immortal Valley. However, it was actually snatched away by Mo Wuji.

Without the Emperor Dao Fruit, he could only behave like a little kid and cultivate assiduously. Fortunately, his Breath of Hongmeng managed to help him, allowing him to realise his Dao and step into the ranks of Immortal Emperors.

Water Ying Immortal City’s Wen Hou had close ties with Mo Wuji. It was precisely because of Mo Wuji that Water Ying Immortal City could become a high grade immortal city. After Mo Wuji took away his Emperor Dao Fruit, Kui Fengyun directly started monitoring Wen Hou’s family. The reason why he hadn’t made a move on Wen Hou previously was because he had yet to advance into the Immortal Emperor Stage then. Additionally, Mo Wuji’s name had been spreading throughout the Immortal World all these years, which caused him to be afraid to act.

Now that he had advanced and become an Immortal Emperor, and now that he also heard that Mo Wuji had been crushed by the coalition of several Grand Emperors, the first thing he wanted to do was kill Wen Hou.

Naturally, he, Kui Fengyun, wouldn’t go to Wen Hou to kill him. Since he wanted to kill them, he wanted Wen Hou and his family to present themselves in front of him. Thus, this invitation card appeared in front of Wen Hou. It wasn’t inviting them to a banquet, but inviting them to their deaths.

Wen Hou sighed, ”I’m already very satisfied that Lianxi was able to escape Water Ying Immortal City. But for her to be selected by the Very High Heavens, ah, that’s far too difficult. Back then, I thought that I would be able to spring into the heavens when my Water Ying Immortal City became a high grade immortal city. But now, I finally now that I’m only able to see the heavens through a foggy mist.”

Yan Qianling frowned slightly, ”Wen Hou, if not for Pill Master Mo, our family would have been done for many years ago.”

Wen Hou shook his head, ”Qianling, I’m not blaming Pill Master Mo. Towards him, my Wen Family only has gratitude. How can I blame him? I’m only lamenting the fate of my Wen Family.”

Tan Liang suddenly said, ”Brother Wen, I don’t think that we should wait here like sitting ducks. Why don’t we escape Water Ying Immortal City.”

”Escape Water Ying Immortal City?” Wen Hou stared at Tan Liang in aghast; he had never thought of escaping. Being surrounded by so many experts, how could he escape? Moreover, he was no longer the one in control of the protective array around Water Ying Immortal City.

”If you don’t escape, you will die undoubtedly. If you do, there would at least be a thread of hope,” Tan Liang said resolutely.
