Chapter 865: Finger Against Finger

”Zi Changluo kept you imprisoned for so many years. Why didn’t you kill Zi Changluo before you came to me?” Mo Wuji said indifferently.

Especially vicious people have especially deep schemes. At this point, Mo Wuji was sure that Zhu Yin’s entering into Soul Seal Prison wasn’t because Zhu Yin was helplessly caught, but because Zhu Yin intentionally wanted to go into Soul Seal Prison.

The reason why Mo Wuji could think of this was because he, himself, was the progenitor of his own Dao. In his Mortal Dao, he also needed to truly immerse himself in the life of a mortal in order to understand the true meaning within this Grand Dao.

Zhu Yin’s cultivation technique which was based on devouring souls was indeed evil. However, there’s no need to judge whether a cultivation technique was evil or not. This was because to a cultivator, all Daos could lead to the pinnacle that they are aiming for.

However, all Daos have their own form of shackles; these shackles needed to be continuously broken. Mo Wuji’s own Mortal Dao also had shackles; he didn’t believe that this wasn’t the same for Zhu Yin’s Broken Dao.

His Grand Dao required him to become a true mortal in order to understand its true meaning. As for Zhu Yin’s Grand Dao, it should be related to souls and primordial spirits.

Before Mo Wuji ascertained what the Soul Seal Prison was about, he didn’t dare to make such assumptions. But after Chen San explained about Soul Seal Prison, Mo Wuji immediately knew that Zhu Yin definitely went to Soul Seal Prison because he wanted to temper his Broken Dao.

The reason why Zi Changluo didn’t think of this wasn’t because Zi Changluo was more stupid than Mo Wuji. Instead, it was because Zi Changluo wasn’t the progenitor of his own Grand Dao.

Thus, from a certain perspective, Mo Wuji and Zhu Yin were the same kind of people.

Mo Wuji didn’t believe that a vicious person like Zhu Yin wouldn’t immediately kill Zi Changluo for locking him for countless years, albeit it was within his intentions.

By now, Mo Wuji completely understood the reason why Zhu Yin didn’t kill Zi Changluo. This was because Zhu Yin wanted Zi Changluo to help him one more time. When he first left Soul Seal Prison, he would definitely have to pay a price even if he tried to kill Zi Changluo.

Now, Zi Changluo had dispatched many experts and even an entire army to attack Mo Wuji. Zhu Yin simply wanted to use these people’s souls to recover his own elemental energy.

Previously, Zhu Yin had already devoured countless souls and primordial spirits. By now, Zhu Yin should have fully recovered. Unfortunately, he, Mo Wuji, didn’t know of Zhu Yin’s cultivation technique and origins beforehand. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have allowed Zhu Yin to easily consume all those primordial spirits and souls.

Now that Zhu Yin had recovered his elemental energy, Zhu Yin probably wanted to kill him and devour his soul. Thereafter, Zhu Yin would head back to the Very High Heavens to kill Zi Changluo. From the looks of it, Zhu Yin probably thought that Zi Changluo was stronger than him.

The reason why Mo Wuji’s fear towards Zhu Yin disappeared was because he also discovered how Zhu Yin was able to easily slaughter multiple Grand Emperors.

Mo Wuji was also the progenitor of a Grand Dao. He didn’t believe that there would be a huge gap in power between the two of them despite only having a small gap in cultivation.

In reality, there should have been days of work behind those simple-looking finger attacks. How could a vicious person like Zhu Yin not plot against the experts of the Very High Heavens as they were travelling to the Immortal World? As long as he managed to plot against those Grand Emperors, Zhu Yin would naturally be able to eliminate them easily.

As for how Zhu Yin managed to plot against those Grand Emperors, Mo Wuji didn’t want to think about that. He was sure that Zhu Yin definitely had his own ways.

Even though Zi Changluo wasn’t as vicious as Zhu Yin, Mo Wuji didn’t believe that Zi Changluo would have done nothing to Zhu Yin after capturing Zhu Yin. Since Zi Changluo had done something to Zhu Yin, but Zhu Yin still remained fearless, it would mean that Zhu Yin was far more devious than Zi Changluo.

Indeed, when he heard Mo Wuji’s question, Zhu Yin laughed indifferently, ”It’s because I really want to know how strong is the person that even Zi Changluo has reservations towards…”

As he was speaking, Zhu Yin had already brought out a gigantic wooden fish. This wooden fish seemed as huge as a continent as it moved towards Mo Wuji.

Back when Zhu Yin killed more than 10,000 people, he didn’t even use his magic treasure. However, against Mo Wuji, he immediately brought out his magic treasure. Clearly, this person was very cautious.

In Mo Wuji’s perspective, Zhu Yin didn’t use his magic treasure on him because he was strong. Instead, it was because Zhu Yin didn’t understand him, but understood the people that were dispatched from the Very High Heavens.

In fact, it could even be a form of mocking when Zhu Yin used his magic treasure.

The moment Zhu Yin acted, Mo Wuji whipped out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Don’t simply look at how Zhu Yin had already killed more than 10,000 people. By now, Mo Wuji still didn’t know the true methods of Zhu Yin.

The attacks that Zhu Yin had shown so far probably wasn’t even one-billionth of his actual capabilities.

His Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured a sky-splitting halberd light; this halberd light split into nine silver rivers which cascaded down from the sky.

All of a sudden, Zhu Yin’s wooden fish suddenly exploded. The shockwaves from the explosion actually left Mo Wuji slightly shocked. These shockwaves weren’t elemental shockwaves but spiritual will shockwaves. This was actually a Law that he had never seen before…

In the blink of an eye, this Law transformed into a world of its own. Mo Wuji clearly prepared himself but he was still drawn into the world.
