Chapter 987: Rogue Cultivator Alliance
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
The hearts of all the spectators went cold. Since when did this fire-type Nascent God get so powerful? Soon, most of them understood what was going on. Previously, this cultivator had been showing mercy. But this time, because the other party came in wanting his life, this Nascent God decided to be vicious.
The crowd momentarily went silent. The previous scene of someone rushing up onto the stage temporarily disappeared.
Mo Wuji had actually killed a person that was half a step into the Heavenly God Stage with a single punch. That act had left everyone transfixed. At the moment, no one dared to challenge him.
However, this did not last for long. A grey robed cultivator at the Great Circle of Nascent God Level 9 went up on stage. After he stepped onto the stage, he didn't say a word. He simply shot his magic treasure towards Mo Wuji. Killing intent filled the entire stage. Although the stage had seals, the cultivators by the side of the stage could still feel it. This cultivator was clearly determined to kill Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji still intentionally dodged a few of his opponent's attacks before releasing a punch.
Without exception, this grey robed cultivator was sent flying out of the stage. This time, no one looked at Mo Wuji, but at the grey-robed cultivator.
Indeed, this grey robed cultivator exploded in mid-air and faced complete soul extinguishment.
All the spectators started to engage in discussions. No one continued believing that Mo Wuji was a Mr Nice Guy.
Almost everyone could see that this rogue cultivator was enraged. The next to go up on stage would definitely face the same outcome of soul extinguishment.
An incense's time passed but no one dared to challenge Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji saw that his name went from the bottom of the screen to the 9th one. He had ended up above the red line.
Now that the placing was safely in his hands, Mo Wuji lightly stepped off the stage and disappeared.
Mo Wuji didn't regret showing mercy in his first 20 to 30 battles. He knew that it wasn't because he killed two people in a row that no one dared to challenge him now. Instead, it was because he won 29 times consecutively without killing anyone. This let everyone know that he had the ability to kill 29 people in a row. It was just that he didn't choose to do it.
It was the combined act of sending 29 people off the stage and killing 2 which caused others not to dare to challenge him. Now, even an idiot could see that he was showing mercy previously and he was no longer doing so. If anyone still dared to challenge him, they would really be courting death.
…
After Mo Wuji left the plaza, he directly headed to where the assessment jade tokens were being distributed.
He knew that those with King Titles could directly come and collect their jade tokens. Even though he didn't have a King Title, he was a person that was above the red line on the Rogue Cultivator Duel Competition. According to the rules, cultivators above the red line would automatically get a placing to Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment.
”You are not a King Title holder. Although you have obtained a placing for the assessment, you would need to collect your jade token from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.” The cultivator at the distribution site was a middle-aged woman at the late Heavenly God Stage. She spoke coldly after understanding Mo Wuji's situation.
Mo Wuji's heart sunk. He didn't want to deal with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Clearly, some of the people in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance were being controlled. These people put on the pretence of a rogue cultivator, but in reality, they were doing underhand and shady deals.
However, he was truly too weak. Besides going to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he had no other options.
In Nirvana Dao City, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance might be called an alliance but it couldn't hold a candle against big sects and huge family clans.
The Rogue Cultivator Alliance's encampment wasn't very big; they only occupied one floor of Nirvana Dao City's Affairs Guild.
”Pill Master Mo…” Just as Mo Wuji reached the Affairs Guild, a voice suddenly called out to him.
Mo Wuji turned and saw that it was actually Minor High Firmament Sect's Sect Head Xi Lingru. Xi Lingru was dressed in brown robes and he approached Mo Wuji smilingly.
Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists and said, ”I truly didn't think that I would meet the sect head in Nirvana Dao City.”
Xi Lingru eagerly said, ”Pill Master Mo, I have specially come to find you.”
Mo Wuji could guess that Xi Lingru was probably here due to the peak-grade Green Dew Rice. However, he did not mind. His relationship with Xi Lingru was not bad, and it was unlikely that Xi Lingru would lay hands on him here, much less expose the fact that he could grow peak-grade Green Dew Rice.
Moreover, he wasn't a person without backing anymore; he had Chi Bing with him. Don't underestimate Chi Bing because she was only at God King Level 1; she was definitely one with explosive combat power.
Noticing the look of amazement on Mo Wuji's face, Xi Lingru hurriedly formed a sound-inhibiting seal around them, ”I came here to thank you for your generous gifts. Also, I thought that Pill Master Mo would come to participate in Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment, so I specially came here to wait for you. Oh right, I wanted to give this to Pill Master Mo.”
As he said that, Xi Lingru handed Mo Wuji an ancient-looking book.
Mo Wuji flipped open the book and three words greeted him - Grand Array Dao.
A gift of an array book? What's the meaning of this?
