Chapter 867: Died So Simply (2/2)

Lei Hongji said slowly, ”My first master helped me to open my spirits. He was also the first to discover that my spiritual roots could evolve. Thereafter, he died. My second master was a Star Lord. He gave me countless cultivation resources. Then, he also died. My third master was my first master in the Immortal World. He had an alias, it was Grand Emperor Venom Sky…”

”Venom Sky…” Zi Changluo’s face changed. He finally understood how he fell into such a state; he had been poisoned. How could he not know about Grand Emperor Venom Sky? This was a person that even he wasn’t willing to offend. It was rumoured that this person could even place venom in the sky and that anyone that touches his hand would undoubtedly die.

Lei Hongji continued monotonously, ”He also died. My fourth master is called Lei Guyun. I heard that he died a few days ago. He is also the only master that I didn’t kill personally. You are the fifth. Actually, you could have a few more days, ai…”

”Tell me, how was I poisoned, and how are you able to remain unaffected by my trap array? Otherwise, I will not be able to die peacefully…” Zi Changluo cried harshly.

”Who says that I am unaffected? Also, why would I care whether you die peacefully?” Lei Hongji suddenly pulled out a short sword from his sleeve and he walked next to Zi Changluo.

”So you weren’t able to break my trap array…” A hint of hope appeared within Zi Changluo’s eyes. So Lei Hongji was also the same as him; they both had their immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed.

Lei Hongji smiled with contempt, ”I’m not the same as you. You have been poisoned by me, causing your entire body to turn numb. As for me, I only have my immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed. I can still move like an ordinary person.”

”Hahaha…” Zi Changluo chuckled loudly. He was a Dao Emperor. A Lei Hongji without spiritual will and immortal elemental energy wouldn’t be able to kill him even if Lei Hongji had 100 years.

There was no need to talk about 100 years. If he didn’t come out after a few days, his subordinates would definitely get suspicious.

”...” Zi Changluo’s laughter stopped abruptly. Lei Hongji clearly didn’t have immortal elemental energy nor spiritual will. However, the sword in Lei Hongji’s hand was still able to easily pierce into his forehead, destroying his sea of consciousness and extinguishing his primordial spirit and soul…

”What’s this sword?” Zi Changluo muttered to himself. He didn’t hope that Lei Hongji would give him an answer, he only hoped that he could live.

In his life, he became a Dao Emperor, he lived in the Very High Heavens, and he ruled the Immortal World. What pleasures had he not enjoyed? What sights had he not seen?

He didn’t think that he would have died so simply, so easily. If he could turn back time, he would rather die in the battle for the Very High Heavens Cosmos City.

”This sword’s name is Tian Ji. You could consider it an honour to die under Tian Ji Sword and my Lei Hongji’s hands. Oh right, you want to know how you got poisoned? I merely helped you pour a cup of immortal tea which you didn’t drink,” Lei Hongji said indifferently.

Honour? A hint of self-ridicule and disdain flashed across Zi Changluo’s eyes. In his life, he had killed many people and he had backstabbed many friends. Today, he died by his own disciple’s hands. It could be considered a form of retribution.

”Kacha!” Zi Changluo’s primordial spirit shattered and his fleshly body collapsed. A drop of vital blood was caught by Lei Hongji. Countless of runes landed on that vital blood. In less than two hours, an array disc the size of a palm appeared in Lei Hongji’s hand.

After grabbing that array disc, Lei Hongji picked out a pearl from Zi Changluo’s body, then he sliced off Zi Changluo’s finger and grabbed the storage ring.

He then walked out the door. He carefully placed a seal on the door and said to the empty air, ”My master has some sudden insights. He needs to be left alone for 49 days. Even if there’s anything urgent, don’t disturb my master.”

”Yes.” A few voices sounded from shadows.

Lei Hongji nodded, then he calmly walked out of the Dao Emperor Palace.

…

Just as Mo Wuji walked out of Ping Fan Immortal School, four figures appeared in front of him. They were three men and one woman; he actually recognised three of them.

One was Six Paths Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor Gai Qing and another one was the Second House Master of Green Immortal House, Qing Yang. When Mo Wuji saw Qing Yang those years ago, Qing Yang was only a Quasi-Emperor. Now, she was already in the early Immortal Emperor Stage. The third person was Great Kun Buddhist Sect’s Heng Ke.

This fella, Heng Ke, actually dared to appear in front of him? It wasn’t because he was magnanimous that he chose not to exterminate Great Kun Buddhist Sect, but because he didn’t have the time.

”Sect Head Mo!” Before Mo Wuji could rage, the four simultaneously clasped their fists and paid their respects. Heng Ke, in particular, bowed deeply.

Mo Wuji sneered in his heart; even though it wasn’t Heng Ke but Guang Xing who teamed up with Jin Yusheng, Lei Guyun and Yi Minghu to deal with him, he, Mo Wuji, really wouldn’t forget about that grudge. Those years ago, if Guang Xing hadn’t blocked him, he wouldn’t even have been surrounded by the other Grand Emperors.

”The three of you, please wait. I need to settle some debts today.” Mo Wuji burst forth with killing intent.

Heng Ke seemed to know that Mo Wuji wanted to kill him. He did not wait for Mo Wuji to attack as he brought his palms together and said, ”Sect Head, the incident that happened those years ago was due to my Great Kun Buddhist Sect’s greed. As the sect head, Guang Xing actually did such a tyrannical thing. Guang Xing knew that he had sinned greatly. So as not to implicate the sect, Guang Xing has gone back into the circle of reincarnation a few days ago.”

Guang Xing had committed suicide? However, was Guang Xing’s suicide enough to make him forget about his revenge? He, Mo Wuji, wasn’t such a nice person. Those years ago, if not for that star locket that Ji Li gave him, his Revolving Star Passage Technique and his God Physique, he would have definitely died.

But this Guang Xing also knew how to act. To actually commit suicide, this Guang Xing was rather bold.

”Amitabha, we all know that Sect Head Mo had been wronged. It’s just that the Seven Immortal Domains are in grave peril. This monk boldly pleads that Sect Head Mo temporarily places aside this karma.” The one speaking was a monk; the only one of the four that Mo Wuji didn’t recognise.
