Chapter 871: Familiar Woman (2/2)
Yu Zhenna didn't need to continue speaking any further for Hu Chisheng and Lei Hongji to understand her meaning. She was saying that one must possess a certain level of heavenly fate and luck in order to obtain any one of the Four Marks of Tian Ji.
”Since that's the case, we will wait here.” With that, Hu Chisheng retreated ten steps, closed his eyes and stopped speaking.
The instant Hu Chisheng sat down, Yu Zhenna and Lei Hongji also retreated. They each found a spot to cultivate.
…
Following Mo Wuji's continuous advancement, the pace of his physique tempering got increasingly faster. However, no matter how far he walked, the huge stone would always be in front of him.
Five days later, Mo Wuji stopped. He had walked to the end of the swamp.
Even at the end of the swamp, that huge stone was still erected in the distance. But at this point, it looked far taller.
Mo Wuji didn't pay attention to that huge stone. Instead, he was looking at the black door which was at the end of the swamp. This door was like an array gate; it stood alone at the end of this dried-up swamp.
Mo Wuji's Array Dao had long exceeded Immortal Grade 9. He was very clear that this wasn't an array gate. This door was an ordinary door. However, there was dao energy flowing within this door, giving it an indescribable aura.
Mo Wuji did not immediately step into the door. By this point, he had already calmed down significantly.
He didn't think that traversing this swamp would take him five days. Now that so many days had passed, Lei Hongji might already have found the treasure and it would be useless for him to go in and fight for the treasure. On the other hand, it was better for him to be careful and to use this opportunity to eliminate Lei Hongji.
If Lei Hongji hadn't even obtained the treasure, then there was even lesser need for him to worry.
Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye and carefully peeped through the door.
Behind the door was actually a vast and spacious hall; he couldn't even see where the hall's walls were. Within the hall, there were three people. These three people were sitting in a triangle, seemingly on guard against one another.
Previously, Heavenly Emperor Zizai said that there were only two people that entered. But now, he clearly saw three and one of them was even a woman.
Yu Zhenna seemed to notice Mo Wuji's gaze; she actually opened her eyes.
In an instant, Mo Wuji closed his spiritual eye. At the same time, his figure flashed, retreating by tens of kilometres and landing back within the swamp.
If he didn't guess wrong, the two young men inside should be Hu Chisheng and Lei Hongji. He had never seen Hi Chisheng before while he had battled with Lei Hongji once.
On the other hand, he felt a strange sense of familiarity from that woman. That woman gave him a sense of danger, so huge to the point where he felt that he would immediately die if he walked through that door.
As he inscribed hundreds of array runes around himself, Mo Wuji thought: Who’s that woman?
In merely a few breaths of time, Mo Wuji's face turned pale. He finally remembered. Before returning to the Immortal World, he killed a mysterious brown-haired youth.
That brown haired youth’s cultivation was far higher than his. If not for that brown-haired youth's cultivation being sealed by the regulation talisman and that talisman causing the youth's entire body to tear apart, there was no need to talk about killing the youth, Mo Wuji might not even be able to withstand a single of his sacred arts.
This woman actually looked similar to that brown-haired youth.
By this time, if Mo Wuji didn't know where that chilling sense of impending doom came from, then he would be too much of an idiot.
Clearly, that brown haired youth was related to this young woman. If he went in, that young woman would definitely kill him to take revenge for that brown-haired youth...
That's still not right, Mo Wuji frowned. Only those with him would know that he killed that brown-haired youth. None of them would reveal that news, so how would this woman know about it?
Mo Wuji shuddered. He finally came to an understanding. There was a 100% certainty that some sort of imprint latched onto him after he killed that brown-haired youth.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji was increasingly sure that he was right. No one would have noticed the spiritual will imprint besides that brown-haired youth's family. Now that it was likely that this young man was a relative of that brown-haired youth, she would definitely discover the spiritual will imprint if he appeared before her.
Mo Wuji's expression turned slightly unsightly. He stood up and retreated another tens of kilometres before he stopped.
This wasn't his first or second time that someone left a spiritual will imprint on him. Thus, after he killed the brown-haired youth, he checked himself for any imprints but he didn't find any.
From the looks of it, he had been too careless. The imprint was still there; it was just that he didn't locate it.
As for the threat that this young woman posed to his life, Mo Wuji didn't suspect it. The brown-haired youth was in the cultivation world; the pressure from the regulation talisman in the cultivation would definitely be at least two times the pressure here in the Immortal World. When he saw that young woman just now, he saw that there weren't any blood cracks throughout her body like that brown-haired youth. With such power, would she even face any difficulty in killing him, Mo Wuji?
