Chapter 874: Fifth Mark Of Tian Ji (2/2)
”Wait…” Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, Yu Zhenna was truly anxious.
Mo Wuji didn't have any intentions of stopping. He even brought out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as he raised his guard against Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng.
Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng had originally already had some reservations towards Yu Zhenna. After hearing Mo Wuji's words, they were even less inclined to join hands with her to deal with Mo Wuji.
When Yu Zhenna saw the situation, she hurriedly said, ”I admit that I have been too cautious. But don't tell me that all of you have been 100% honest with me? Dao Friend Mo, when you saw us previously, didn't you also leave secretly for a few days in order to prepare a plan against us? I have always proposed the idea of working together. Working together is beneficial for everyone and I won’t gain any benefits from having any malicious intentions.”
Mo Wuji stopped retreating but he was still wary as he said, ”Since that's the case, then let me take a look at your mark and see if there are any problems with it.”
When Yu Zhenna heard Mo Wuji's words, her voice turned cold, ”Pass my mark to you? Your idea is truly good…”
Mo Wuji brought out his Yang Mark and said, ”To prevent any mishaps, I will pass my Yang Mark to you. If you still don't dare, then that would only show that there's a problem with you.”
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Yu Zhenna frowned. Then, she turned and saw the wary Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng. She hesitated slightly before she said, ”Ok, but you must return it immediately after you look.”
Mo Wuji didn't say anything as he directly placed his Yang Mark on the floor.
Yu Zhenna could only place the square brick on the floor. The moment her square brick touched the ground, Mo Wuji's hand swept over. However, that square brick was protected by her domain. At the same time, Mo Wuji's Yang Mark was swept away.
When they saw Yu Zhenna's actions, Hu Chisheng and even Lei Hongji who had an enmity with Mo Wuji brought out their magic treasures.
Yu Zhenna had thoughts that Mo Wuji's Yang Mark would also be defended by his domain and she would have used that as an excuse to reject handing over her Tian Ji Mark. She didn't think that Mo Wuji wouldn't even extend his domain and she would only need a slight movement of her spiritual will to sweep the Yang Mark into her hands.
By this point, if she still insisted on keeping her Tian Ji Mark then things would get problematic. As she thought of this, she could only let go of her Tian Ji Mark. At the same time, she prepared herself. If Mo Wuji dared to retreat, she wouldn't hesitate to attack him.
The moment Mo Wuji grabbed this square brick, he saw the two words: Tian Ji. He was very clear that this square brick was the most valuable mark of the five.
The value of this square brick definitely far exceeded that of his Yang Mark.
”You should have taken a good look by now. Return it to me.” Yu Zhenna had already blocked Mo Wuji's path of retreat.
When they saw Yu Zhenna pass the square brick to Mo Wuji, Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng didn't say anything further. From the looks of it, Yu Zhenna really wanted to work together with them.
Mo Wuji didn't even have any intentions of retreating. Instead, he took a step forward and came in front of the biggest groove on the sheet, ”I want to take a look and see if it's fake.”
”Idiot, we're still lacking one mark. Even if you try now, it would be useless,” Yu Zhenna berated.
Mo Wuji said coldly, ”Dao Friend Yu Zhenna, do you still think that I don't know that this is a land of fate and that there are five grooves here? I have a spiritual eye and I only need a moment to verify it. Also, I have something to add. I am able to obtain that Yang Mark because of my fortune. Also, I know of an item that can replace the Tian Ji Pole.”
”What item?” All three of them seemed to exclaim at the same time.
”Everyone, stand at your respective positions. I will stand at the position of the Tian Ji Mark. In at least six hours and at most one day, I can allow everyone to experience the suction force of fate.” Mo Wuji started to bullsh*t.
Yu Zhenna's voice was icy cold, ”Return my Tian Ji Mark to me, then share your method.”
Mo Wuji chuckled and said with contempt, ”Why? Since you didn't manage to deceive us, you decided to go the hard way?”
”My abilities are the highest. Naturally, I will be in charge of such matters.” Yu Zhenna forcefully tried to suppress her anger. She was highly suspicious with Mo Wuji’s incoherent words. Previously, he didn't know anything, but now he suddenly seemed to know how to open this Tian Ji Sheet of Fate.
Mo Wuji continued his bullsh*t, ”Idiot, who told you that you require cultivation to open this place? This place requires the combined forces of the Array Dao, the Dao of Changes, and the Dao of Conning [1]. How many of them do you know?”
Yu Zhenna instantly frowned. She was proficient in both the Array Dao and the Dao of Changes. But what was the Dao of Conning?
[1] The word for Conning here is 忽悠 (Hu You) which also has other meanings such as flickering and swaying. Thus, she might not immediately get that Mo Wuji was referring to the ‘conning’ meaning.
