Chapter 1194: The Item Which The Ku Clan Took

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Sensing the hatred in Dai Nanjian's tone, Mo Wuji asked, ”Did Ku Chu ask you for the fragment of Darkwood?”

Dai Nanjian shook his head, ”He didn't ask me for it because I was the one who gave it to him. Even up till today, I don't understand why I was so reckless.”

Mo Wuji thought to himself, it is absolutely normal for a woman in love to be so reckless. Ku Chu must have expressed his desire for the Darkwood discreetly. Eventually, it was enough for Dai Nanjian to gift it to him.

”Because the Darkness Origin Hall Lord was my brother, I was able to enter the hall to gain insights into the Dark Laws. After I handed the fragment of Darkwood to Ku Chu, he actually disappeared. Originally, I was planning to let him gain some insights using the Darkwood too. After he entered the Unity God Stage, I was going to get the fragment of the Darkwood back. I really didn't expect Ku Chu to disappear together with the fragment of Darkwood. After the Darkness Origin Hall found out that I was behind this, they locked me up…”

Dai Nanjian shed two drops of tears before continuing, ”After less than a year of being locked up, they pinned me at the entrance of the Darkness Origin Hall and had my soul burnt gradually.”

Mo Wuji didn't question further because he was certain that her brother, Dai Fang, was murdered. Otherwise, Dai Nanjian would never have been pinned there.

Dai Nanjian bowed once more towards Mo Wuji, ”The reason why I'm so desperate to live on is because I wanted to avenge my brother. All my brother said was to not pin me up. Because of that sentence, he was encircled and killed.”

Mo Wuji remained speechless because he had come across to many ungrateful people. It was too common, especially in Cultivation World.

The fragment of the Darkwood was retrieved by Dai Fang and it could be considered as his personal asset. Dai Fang brought the Darkwood out and even spearheaded the construction of the Darkness Origin Hall. In the end, nobody in Dark World recalled fondly of his contribution. Instead, they killed Dai Fang and tortured Dai Nanjian all because Dai Nanjian took the fragment of the Darkwood away.

If they wanted to punish someone, it should be that Ku Chu. What wrong did Dai Fang commit to deserve this?

”My brother died in front of me. Moments before he dies, he cried and said that he was really regretful...” Dai Nanjian wiped the tears in her eyes as she continued, ”My brother and I depended on each other ever since we're toddlers. I know why my brother said that he was regretful. Back then, he wanted to hand over the fragment of the Darkwood when he first found it. I tried to convince him not to do it and might as well give it to me. However, he told me that this concerned the entire Dark World and they mustn't be selfish. Moments before his death, he truly regretted building the Darkness Origin Hall and handing the Darkwood over.”

”Are you planning to find the Ku Clan to avenge your brother?” Mo Wuji was now certain that the fragment of Darkwood he had was the one Dai Fang found. The one Dai Nanjian gave to Ku Chu and the one Ku Chu ran away with.

Mo Wuji had no idea why Ku Chu ran away with it but he knew that Ku Chu escaped to God Domain. Eventually, he started a muddled war because of it. Ku Chu managed to escape from the war once again and vanished without a trace. Mo Wuji was certain that Ku Cai was Ku Chu's descendant.

Regardless, the fragment of Darkwood with him now came from the Dai Clan. Giving Dai Nanjian some compensation was necessary. As for whether Dai Nanjian would exterminate the Ku Clan eventually, Mo Wuji wasn't bothered at all. The Ku Clan didn't seem like a decent clan. Besides Ku Cai, people like Ku Xinren and Ku Chu gave him a terrible impression.

Dai Nanjian bowed politely once more, ”Yes, my brother gave his all for Dark World but was eventually assassinated by people of Dark World. The only reason I refuse to die was because of my brother.”

Mo Wuji took out a storage ring for Dai Nanjian, ”There are some cultivation resources inside. Cultivate till you reached the Quasi-Sage Stage before avenging your brother. Given your current strength, I doubt it will be enough to avenge your brother.”

”Bang!” Dai Nanjian suddenly dropped to her knees, ”Senior, you saved my life which gave me the chance to avenge my brother. If I still dare to accept senior's items, I, Dai Nanjian, will be the greediest junior ever. I am still unable to return the favour so how can I take these items?”

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. This Dai Nanjian truly had similar character as her brother.

Mo Wuji helped Dai Nanjian back up on her feet.

A shocked Dai Nanjian looked at Mo Wuji. Because she was tortured for countless years, she was already in Unity God Stage. This was much higher than before she was pinned. Because of the many years of torture, her spiritual will was also improved significantly. One must know that before she was pinned, she was only in the intermediate God King Stage.

Even with her current strength, she couldn't control herself but stood up when Mo Wuji helped her up. What kind of strength was this?

”There is a reason why I took out these cultivation resources for you to step into the Quasi-Sage Stage as soon as possible. It was because the fragment of Darkwood, which Ku Chu brought away, ended up with me now. It was, after all, something that your brother found. However, I am unable to return the fragment of Darkwood back to you now. Therefore, I am willing to compensate you with these resources.” Mo Wuji explained.

Given his current strength, Mo Wuji felt that he had no need to conceal such matters.
