Chapter 722: Emotionless Woman (2/2)

A gorgeous woman was standing in front of the Luo God Shrine. Her graceful immortal aura made her look like a fairy that could drift away with the wind at any moment.

Mo Wuji instantly jolted; he knew this woman.

Mo Wuji wasn't the only one, everyone else were also stunned. No one expected that a woman would appear here, and she was already in the ancient shrine. It seems like this woman had already been in this shrine even before the Broken World's fourth level opened.

This white robed woman's gaze swept across the crowd; her gaze seemed to linger on Mo Wuji for a few breaths of time before she said slowly, ”Is everyone here to snatch my Book of Luo?”

”The Book of Luo is a treasure of the Heaven and Earth. Since it has appeared in front of everyone, we would naturally compete for it fairly,” An early stage Grand Luo Immortal did not hesitate to step forward to say; there was a hint of desire in his voice. It didn't matter who this woman was, he had no fear. He was from a peak sect of Gods Immortal Domain. How could a strange and random woman deserve to have the Book of Luo more than him?

So what if she was pretty? Was that enough to earn a living?

Before this Grand Luo Immortal's words could finish, the surrounding air instantly turned cold. Everyone subconsciously retreated as they saw a white light shoot out.

This Grand Luo Immortal immediately felt a cold and deadly energy wrap around him. He desperately tried to retreat, but it seemed like the entire space around him had been frozen solid. And at the very next instant, a white silk cloth shot through his Mind Palace. He died at that very spot.

”That was Zuo Lan'An...” A frightened murmur sounded within the crowd.

Following which, everyone started to subconsciously retreat; that terrified voice only said a single name, but a majority of the crowd knew what he was going to say next. Zuo Lan'An was a disciple of one of Gods Immortal Domain's most powerful sects, the God Moon Immortal School. Moreover, his personal power was also impressive. Such a powerful person didn't even survive a single move of this woman's; one could clearly see how terrifying this white robed woman was.

At this moment, some of the weaker immortals had already started to retreat as they tried to leave.

”Since you're here, how could you all leave so easily?” The moment this white robed woman finished speaking, she rose both of her hands. Immediately, the entire sky above all of them was covered in white.

All the cultivators could feel the air around them freezing; every step they took was difficult.

Sharp light shot out like stretches of shining silk, and every time one was shot out, an aggrieved cry would be heard. In this short moment, more than a hundred immortal were killed. Only a few Grand Luo Immortal's that used peak grade talismans had already escaped.

”Boom!” This white robed woman's silk attack bad finally been stopped. The crowd instantly felt the frozen space around them go loose and everyone anxiously fled. No one was willing to stay behind for even another breath of time.

Soon, there were only four people left.

Mo Wuji stood there, unmoving. By his side, Dou Hualong and Su Rou'Er were still there.

”You're not bad. You're actually able to defend against my attack, and you even dispelled my frozen space.” The white robed woman's gaze landed on the youth that initially volunteered to Luo God Shrine's array.

”You're not bad too. An Immortal King was actually able to enter the Broken World's fourth level,” This honest-looking youth didn't even care about how impressive this white robed woman was. His tone remained cold as he continued, ”Since the Book of Luo already has an owner, then I will forget about it. Farewell.”

With that, this honest-looking youth turned and left.

The white robed woman sneered, ”You still think you can leave?”

”HAHAHA!” This honest-looking youth chuckled loudly, ”If I, Meng Yinsan, wants to leave, even an Immortal Emperor can't stop me. A mere Immortal King like you dares to stop me, Meng Yinsan? Try it if you dare.”

As he was speaking, Meng Yinsan's figure flashed and he instantly disappeared.

Meng Yinsan? Mo Wuji never thought that he would meet Meng Yinsan here. Even though they both didn't know one another, Mo Wuji was very familiar with Meng Yinsan's name.

This fella was caught into Half Moon Prison, but he actually managed to kill the warden and escape. Just from this point alone, Mo Wuji was sure that this Meng Yinsan wasn't a simple person. In his ring, there was still that introduction of Meng Yinsan written by the warden:

”Meng Yinsan, Red Lightning Star earth-type cultivator. Yong Ying 845 Calendar, Year 3111, 14th day of the 6th month, ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying’s 11th Prison, Half Moon Prison Room 31.

Honest personality; Five Star Genius. Ever since he started cultivation, he took 196 years to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Stage.

During his time in Half Moon Prison, Meng Yinsan performed extremely well. He was well-behaved and not rebellious. On Yong Ying 845 Calendar, Year 3224, 2nd day of the 7th month, he formed a blood oath, forever willing…”

There were no longer any words after that. Because it was at this point that the warden got murdered by Meng Yinsan.

It was unknown whether this white robed woman believed Meng Yinsan's words, or whether she had some other concerns, she actually didn't chase after him.

”Mo Wuji, long time no see. Life is so unpredictable; I never thought we would meet again in the Broken World. You are the only man that left me in regrets for many days. Thus, I won't kill you, or the two beside you. Just take out the two pages of the Book of Luo that I gave you,” This white robed woman said calmly as she stared at Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji's eyes turned cold; he didn't think that Murong Xiangyu would be so shameless. The reason why she didn't kill him was actually because he had previously left her feeling regret. As for his saving grace, this woman didn't even mention a single word about it. Clearly, it wasn't that she wasn't willing to mention it, but that matter wasn't even placed in her heart.

The people from the emotionless sect were truly emotionless out and out. It was enough that she forgot his saving grace, but now she even wanted to take back the compensation she gave him for saving her - the two pages of the Book of Luo.

If the previous Murong Xiangyu still had a bit of emotions, then this woman in front of him was completely ice cold.

As for how Murong Xiangyu was able to recognise him, Mo Wuji didn’t find it weird. Murong Xiangyu must have refined all her pages of the Book of Luo, and due to that, she seemed to be able to detect the aura of his page on him.
