Chapter 867: Died So Simply

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Very High Heavens, Dao Emperor Palace.

Zi Changluo couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Days had passed but no news came from Gongshu Shipan.

If that wasn’t enough, the sects that regularly send him news of the Immortal World were also silent.

No. Carrying on like this is the not the solution. If Mo Wuji didn’t have the feat of killing a Dao Emperor, Zi Changluo really wouldn’t have cared too much about him. However, the key thing was that Mo Wuji’s battle records were indeed too shocking; Mo Wuji was even able to kill Lun Pa. One must know that even he, Zi Changluo, wouldn’t be able to kill Lun Pa.

”Men, get Lei Hongji here,” Zi Changluo decided not to wait any further.

”Yes.” A response came from outside the Dao Emperor Palace.

In less than half an incense’s time, a deep voice came from outside the palace, ”Master, you’re finding me?”

Zi Changluo said warmly, ”Hongji, come in. I have some matters I want you to handle.

”Yes, Master.” The tall and muscular Lei Hongji came in. Compared to when his first arrival at Very High Heavens where he had lightning bolts dancing all around him, Lei Hongji no longer had the same unbridled lightning aura.

Zi Changluo nodded contentedly, ”Not bad, not bad. Out of all my disciples, only your talent is truly spectacular. Your Immortal Emperor Stage cultivation has completely stabilised and you already have the aura of a master.”

Lei Hongji bowed respectfully and said, ”Master is over-praising me. Compared to my other senior brothers, Lei Hongji is still lacking.”

Zi Changluo pointed towards the chair opposite him and said, ”Hongji, ever since you became my disciple, I have regarded you as my son. There’s no need for you to be so polite here.”

Lei Hongji bowed once more before he sat down. Zi Changluo also sat down. After Zi Changluo took a seat, he brought out a tea set, placed it at the corner of the table and said, ”Hongji, Master is slightly sorry. Master has to borrow something from you.”

Lei Hongji stood back up and said modestly, ”If Master needs anything, there’s no need to say anything about borrowing. You only need to ask this disciple.”

When he finished speaking, Lei Hongji took the initiative to pick up the teapot and served Zi Changluo a cup of spiritual tea.

Zi Changluo accepted the tea but he didn’t drink it. Instead, he placed the teacup on the table and said, ”This thing is also very important to you, so Master feels very guilty…”

Lei Hongji laughed, ”Master, please say it. If I, Lei Hongji, have extra, I wouldn’t mind giving it to you.”

Zi Changluo jolted slightly. He could naturally tell that something was wrong with Lei Hongji’s words. What did he mean by extra?

”Lei Hongji, I know that your spiritual roots are amazing; they should be self-evolving spiritual roots, right? Honestly, in my entire life of cultivation, I, Zi Changluo, have never seen self-evolving spiritual roots. It’s been a long time since I reached the Dao Emperor Stage, and my cultivation potential has also reached its end. So, the thing I want to borrow is your spiritual roots…” When Zi Changluo finished speaking, he stared calmly at Lei Hongji.

Lei Hongji did not seem to be surprised. Instead, he said indifferently, ”I’m afraid I cannot lend you that.”

”Eh, that’s not up to you, nor is it up to me. You should be able to see that this teapot of mine is an array disc right? However, it was useless for you to have moved it away from the corner of the table. Now, even I am unable to release this trap array.” ZI Changluo sighed, stood up and tried to pat Lei Hongji’s shoulder.

He had purchased this trap array from Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos; it was an array that exceeded Grade 9. As long as it was activated, everyone else besides him would have their immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed.

When Zi Changluo tried to raise his hand, his face changed. He discovered that his immortal elemental energy and spiritual will were trapped within his body and could not be used.

”You…” Zi Changluo’s heart sunk. Even an idiot would know that something was amiss.

Lei Hongji said indifferently, ”I thought that you would have waited for some time. I didn’t think that you would be so impatient. You truly disappointed me.”

”You know?” Zi Changluo’s heart sank to the bottom of an abyss.

Lei Hongji’s voice was calm as he said, ”If I didn’t know, I, Lei Hongji, wouldn’t have gotten so far. Honestly, I really admire you. You are the first person to completely understand how heaven-defying my spiritual roots are. Even if you didn’t act today, I would have acted against you a few days later.”

”I’m your master.” Zi Changluo growled lowly. He didn’t shout; he knew that it would be useless to shout within this trap array.

Lei Hongji shook his head and said with slight disdain, ”You can only be considered my fifth master. Oh right, do you want to know what happened to my first four masters?”

”What?” Zi Changluo asked subconsciously.
