Chapter 789: Battling A Dao Emperor
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
It hadn't even been an entire incense's time since Mo Wuji left when a grey ship stopped outside Cosmos Edge.
They're the Gods Race's Dao Emperor Wu Wang and Dao Emperor Lun Pa…” The moment the people within the shop emerged, they were immediately recognised by the people outside Cosmos Edge. These people all hurried to move to the side to make way for them.
The Gods Race was one of the most powerful races in Heaven's Beyond Cosmos. Moreover, besides Wu Wang and Lun Pa, there were still two other Dao Emperors within the ship. Everyone all knew the reason why they had come.
The Gods Race's Young Lord Wu Li had been killed in Cosmos Edge. It would be weird if the Gods Race didn't flip out.
Wu Wang, together with the wood-bark-like Lun Pa, walked into Cosmos Edge. The other two Dao Emperor experts remained outside Cosmos Edge, clearly in case Mo Wuji tried to escape.
”Feng Huang greets Dao Emperor Wu Wang and Dao Emperor Lun Pa.” Just as Wu Wang entered Cosmos Edge, Feng Huang came to welcome him with a smile plastered on his face.
”Dao Lord Feng, I wonder if that Mo Wuji is present?” Wu Wang's voice was cold; he was seemingly prepared to pummel Feng Huang under his fist.
Feng Huang sighed and said, ”He was determined to leave. Even I was unable to have him stay.”
Feng Huang only realised that the Gods Race definitely wouldn't need half a day to arrive sometime after Mo Wuji left. The reason why Mo Wuji had been so anxious to leave should also be because Mo Wuji had guessed the contents of the flying messenger sword. Honestly, Feng Huang was very impressed with Mo Wuji, to actually be able to guess the contents so accurately. At the same time, he felt slight disdain towards Wu Wang. If Wu Wang had not sent the flying messenger sword, then he, Feng Huang, would have unconsciously helped them retain Mo Wuji.
Actually, Wu Wang's predictions were right: Mo Wuji wanted to leave Cosmos Edge immediately after killing Wu Li. If not for him, Mo Wuji would have left a long time ago.
It was because he told Mo Wuji that the experts from the Gods Race wouldn't be returning temporarily. That caused Mo Wuji to stay for a little longer. However, that Wu Wang decided to be an extra; he sent a flying messenger sword over and this sword was coincidentally noticed by Mo Wuji.
”What?” Wu Wang instantly exploded with killing intent. He stared coldly at Feng Huang and said, ”Could it be that Dao Lord Feng treats my Gods Race's words like farts?”
Feng Huang sneered in his heart, but his tone remained calm as he said, ”Dao Emperor, these words of yours are inappropriate. I, Feng Huang, am merely a Dao Lord; I’m unable to control the actions of others. However, I, Feng Huang, have done the best I can. I do not ask for Dao Emperor Wu to thank me, but I’m not willing to accept Dao Emperor Wu's anger either.”
With that, Feng Huang threw a crystal ball to Wu Wang.
The flames of anger within Wu Wang's hearts cooled down. He understood what Feng Huang was implying: It's true that your Gods Race is strong, but I, Feng Huang, am not a person of your Gods Race. It's already an act of favour for me to help you, and it really wouldn't be a big deal even if I don't.
At this instant, Wu Wang sent his spiritual will into the crystal ball. He saw that when Mo Wuji left, Feng Huang had tried to get him to stay, but to no avail. Wu Wang also knew that it wouldn't be practical to think that Feng Huang would battle with Mo Wuji because of them. Moreover, Wu Wang was also feeling some regret. He knew that it was his flying messenger sword which made Mo Wuji so bent to leave. How would he know that Mo Wuji would not immediately leave after killing Wu Li? If he did, he definitely wouldn't have sent Feng Huang that flying messenger sword.
”Just now, I was too agitated because of Wu Li's death. I request Dao Lord Feng to tell me: where did that Mo Wuji go?” Wu Wang inhaled deeply, then he clasped his fists and asked.
In his heart, there was still huge amounts of anger that were enough to fill three oceans and four seas. However, if he didn't catch Mo Wuji, he had no means of venting that anger.
Feng Huang said apologetically, ”That Mo Wuji said he was finding someone. I didn't expect that he would immediately leave Cosmos Edge. He left using Ou Zhaohe’s immortal concealment boat.”
”I wonder if Dao Lord Feng knows of this Mo Wuji's origins?” Even though Mo Wuji had just destroyed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, the Gods Race couldn't be bothered to care about such a matter.
But now that Mo Wuji had killed Wu Li, Wu Wang naturally wanted to investigate on Mo Wuji.
Even though Feng Huang had some guesses on Mo Wuji's origins, he still said, ”I'm truly not sure. I only chatted with that Mo Wuji for a little bit.”
Feng Huang was clear that Mifei Trade Union would definitely have investigated on Mo Wuji's origins. However, while he had not actually befriended Mo Wuji, he didn't want to offend such an expert.
”Dao Emperor Wu, I have investigated that Mo Wuji briefly. He should be of the Human Race. Dao Emperor Wu only needs to question Zi Changluo to know of this person's origins.” Leng Ren’s voice came timely.
”Human Race.” Wu Wang snorted coldly, ”Since he's from the Human Race, then the Human Race no longer needs to exist. Lun Pa, help me to gather my troops. First, we'll occupy Very High Heavens Immortal Cosmos City; then, we'll directly destroy the Very High Heavens. As for the Immortal World, we can treat it as a place for our Gods Race to rear our cattle.”
”Yes.” That old wood-bark-like man behind Wu Wang promptly responded.
Before this wood bark could turn, one of the Gods Race experts, that was stationed at the entrance of Cosmos Edge previously, rushed over hurriedly. He said to Wu Wang, ”Grand Elder, news had just arrived. It says that Mo Wuji was heading in the direction of the Shattered Ruins. From the looks of it, he wants to hide within the Shattered Ruins.”
”Very good. We will temporarily postpone the subjugation of the Human Race. We will catch that Mo Wuji first. Lun Pa, chase after him; we will follow suit.” Wu Wang’s voice was cold.
”Yes.” Lun Pa responded promptly. Suddenly, a pair of wings grew out of his back. With a strong flap, Lun Pa disappeared without a trace.
Lun Pa’s speed was the fastest, which was why Wu Wang sent him to stop Mo Wuji.
