Chapter 769: One Versus Three

Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Pavilion Head Min Cheng, Wen Li and Ran Yushui were standing respectfully by the side.
Sitting at the central position were two men and one woman. The one at the centre of the three was a man with triangle shaped eyes. His age was not discernible; he had ashy red hair; his aura was surging, and there seemed to be an indescribable dao energy revolving around him.
On this red-haired man's left was a middle-aged woman who simply looked average, while on his right was a slightly pudgy old man.
Min Cheng stood by the side, his heart was palpitating in unrest. Wen Li and Ran Yushui only knew these three as Immortal Emperors from Mifei Trade Union. He, however, knew more.
This was especially so for the ashy-red-haired man in the centre. His name was Ou Zhaohe, and he was reputed to have an explosive temper. If you behave against his wishes, then there was only death for you. His cultivation was the strongest among the three; he was in the late Immortal Emperor Stage.
Min Cheng had once heard that Ou Zhaohe once explored a ruins with a long-time friend. However, because they didn't agree with how they were going to split the treasures, Ou Zhaohe directly killed that friend. Because of that incident, everyone knew that this man was ruthless. Within Heaven's Beyond Cosmos, the number of immortals killed by him was more than one's hands could count.
That middle-aged woman was second among the three; she was an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor. Min Cheng only knew this woman's name was Ling Rong. Back then, to validate her dao, she killed everyone that she had close ties with. Don't simply look at her sunken eyes and her innocuous appearance, this woman was a devil who would be willing to do anything in her pursuit of cultivation.
Min Cheng only wasn't very familiar with that pudgy old man; he only knew that the old man's name was De Pingsha.
”You're sure that after Du Hong left the city square with Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji returned by himself half a day later?” The one speaking was Ou Zhaohe.
Min Cheng hurriedly and respectfully replied, ”Answering the Elder. That's exactly the case.
Ou Zhaohe nodded, then he stood up, ”Let's go. I want to see how many heads and arms does this Mo Wuji have. To think he actually ambushed an Immortal Emperor of my Mifei Trade Union.”
Ou Zhaohe was clearly the leader among the three Immortal Emperors. With Ou Zhaohe standing up, the other two also followed suit.
”Three Elders, that Kuang Jin is already an Immortal Emperor.” Ran Yushui's cultivation was the lowest. Originally, she didn't have the rights to talk. But when she saw Elder Ou completely disregarding Mo Wuji, she could not help but say that sentence.
Back then, Du Hong also underestimated Mo Wuji. As a result, it was still unknown whether Du Hong was alive or not.
”Only a living Immortal Emperor is a true Immortal Emperor.” Ou Zhaohe's voice was icy cold.
There was no need to talk about a mere early stage Immortal Emperor. Even if he was facing another late-stage Immortal Emperor, he, Ou Zhaohe, had nothing to fear.
…
”House Master, I'm worried that the two of us might not be able to hold for long.” Kuang Jin's worry could be heard in his voice. If Mo Wuji decided to go through with this, there might be a possibility that they could be trapped and that he wouldn't be able to escape. He, Kuang Jin, did indeed promise to serve Mo Wuji for a hundred years, but he didn't promise to sell his life.
Mo Wuji handed an array flag to Kuang Jin and said, ”Immortal Friend Kuang, I installed all the arrays around here. Even if we aren't able to match them, we still have a chance to escape. That array flag is the Life Gate Flag. If a threat arises, you can throw that flag and escape from the Life Gate.
Facing three Immortal Emperors, Mo Wuji couldn't ensure that he would have the chance to remind Kuang Jin to flee. If the case really called for it, he didn't want to obstruct Kuang Jin's escape.
It was true that he had battled several Grand Emperors before; however, those sorts of battles were meaningless to him. This was because he didn't even have a chance to resist.
”Alright.” Kuang Jin accepted Mo Wuji's array flag and heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing Mo Wuji continue to install various array flags, Kuang Jin had to initiate the question, ”House Master, are you able to lend me some green crystals. I had only just advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage and I haven't properly stabilized my cultivation.”
”Of course I can…”
Just as Mo Wuji uttered those four words, the outer layer of arrays trembled loudly.
Kuang Jin looked at Mo Wuji anxiously. How could Mo Wuji not know what this fella was thinking? This fella was waiting for him to hand over the cultivation resources.
Mo Wuji laughed ruefully in his heart. This fella took his True Emperor Pill and hadn't done anything for him, now this fella wants green crystals too?
Moreover, even if Mo Wuji was to give Kuang Jin some green crystals, it should be Mo Wuji that raised the matter; it was not something that Kuang Jin should take the initiative to suggest. Back when he recruited Kuang Jin, he didn't say anything about providing Kuang Jin with cultivation resources; he only said that he would help Kuang Jin step into the Immortal Emperor Stage.
