A long-legged woman dressed in red with a trident on her back walked out, she looked Mo Wuji up and down before saying, “May I ask where my friend is going?”
Her clothes were stained with blood, and there were a few blood scabs at her neck, it looked like she had experienced quite a few fights along the way.
Mo Wuji replied, “I want to go to the Witch Snow County Kingdom, do you know the direction?”
The woman pointed to the east, “You pass along this side and keep moving forward, then you’ll reach the Thousand Thai Lords Country.After arriving at the Thousand Thai Lord Country, there are maps for sale and beast carts available for anywhere you want to go.”
“Then may I ask where this location is?”Mo Wuji asked again.
The woman pointed to the west, “Going over there, it’s the territory of the Featherlight Lords Kingdom.This is in the middle of the Chiantai Lord Country and the Featherlight Lord Country, and is called the Sickwood Plain.”
This woman seemed to be extremely clear about the surrounding directions, coupled with the fact that the other party was a mercenary or some such organisation, Mo Wuji’s heart stirred as he followed up with, “May I ask if you know of this place, Wuxue County Country?”
“Been there.”The woman’s reply was extremely simple.
“I’ve heard that the Wuxue County Country has a nest of horse thieves called the Black Tailed Bees, do you know about this group of horse thieves?”Mo Wuji hurriedly pursued.The Black Tailed Bee had killed Jing Leng Pei’s family and I heard that it was nested in the Wuxue County Kingdom.
Jing Leng Pei, Thirteen Niang and Mo Xiang Tong were all together, if they wanted to take revenge, they would definitely go to Wuxue County Country to look for the Black Tailed Bee.
“I don’t know ……,” the woman grunted and turned around, her face not as placid as before.After the woman left, there were still a few people who were vigilantly staring at Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji immediately knew that this woman must be related to the Black Tailed Bee, otherwise it wouldn’t be this kind of attitude.
“This person knows the Black Tailed Bee, should we take them out?”Even though Mo Wuji didn’t follow him over, he already heard someone whispering in the distance.He had divine thoughts and was far stronger than the other party, even if the other party’s voice was small, it still did not escape Mo Wuji’s ears.
“There’s no need to cause trouble, this person is called the Black Tailed Bee Horse Thief, they shouldn’t be in the same gang.”Another person softly murmured.
“Hmph, Black Tailed Bee was originally a horse thief.”
From the discussion of a few people, Mo Wuji could hear that this group of people had a grudge against the Black Tailed Bee.
Mo Wuji was about to go up and explain that he also had a grudge against the Black Tailed Bee when he heard a burst of animal hooves.
“Enemy attack!”A sharp cry from afar followed by two people riding their horses quickly rushed back, arriving close in an instant.Looking at the two men, they should be the sentries of this group.
Mo Wuji was secretly surprised, the beast’s hooves appeared extremely abruptly, it was him who had only just heard it.No wonder the two scouts of this mercenary group did not realise it in advance.
“Hurry up!”People including those who were still building fires and cooking food grabbed their weapons and stood up, before quickly pulling together their mounts and a carriage.Even the few people who were staring at Mo Wuji didn’t continue to stare but instead packed up with the crowd.
Mo Wuji was a little speechless as he watched, a line of people on horse beasts were already seen rushing over in the distance, and by the time they were scrambling to organise their things, the people had already surrounded them.Taking a step back, even if they waited for this side to tidy up and start escaping, could they outrun these riders?
“No need to tidy up, form up in place ……” The woman who first spoke to Mo Wuji had already realised that this time, she found out about the enemy situation late, and now she couldn’t escape.
This side had just formed up, the riders in the distance had already rushed over, there were thirty to forty riders.While the woman’s side plus the two sentries that had just returned, there were only nine people.In Mo Wuji’s opinion, these nine people were also all injured.
That team of riders rushed over and did not directly charge, but abruptly strangled their beast riders and stopped a few metres in front of the nine people.
The scene was a little weird, the nine people and the 30+ riders were facing each other, and in the middle of the confrontation, yet there was a Mo Wuji standing.
“Hand over the items.”A horse beast in the middle of the riders’ team stepped out, the robust rider on the horse beast stared at the woman and said coldly.
Mo Wuji understood that the two parties should be grabbing for an item.This thing was now being grabbed by the party with fewer people, and this group of beast riders were here to chase the thing.
Mo Wuji didn’t know exactly what kind of thing these people were grabbing, he didn’t plan to make a move immediately, instead, he turned around and left.He didn’t want to leave this place, but rather, he wanted to stand to the side and take a look first.
“Kill him.”What Mo Wuji didn’t expect was that just as he turned around, the knight who stepped out of the queue let out a stern roar.Following this stern roar was a long arrow shot over.
Mo Wuji’s head tilted and this long arrow brushed past his ear.
This arrow made Mo Wuji furious, if he hadn’t inclined his head a little, this arrow would have gone straight in through the back of his head and then through his eyebrows.
“I’m not with them, my friend struck without asking, do I need to be given a statement?”Mo Wuji turned around, a hint of killing intent in his words.If it was any other cultivator, he definitely wouldn’t have asked this sentence, he might have already made a move to kill someone.Even though Mo Wuji had become a cultivator, his means of action wasn’t used to the kind of direct killing without asking questions.
“Haha, letting me, Uncommon Wushuang, give you a statement?Who cares if you’re together or not, people from Uncommon Peerless came over, the rule is that no one can move a bit.You have broken my Uncommon Undisputed’s rules, all of you do it, let him know that no one can move my Uncommon Undisputed’s rules ……” The knight standing at the front laughed and waved his hand once again.
This time, not one arrow came over, but thirty to forty arrows shot towards Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji raised his hands, and these arrows became incredibly slow in his eyes.In the blink of an eye, all thirty or so arrows were caught by Mo Wuji.Before everyone present could regain their senses, Mo Wuji raised his hands and the thirty plus arrows were once again thrown out by him.
“Ah, ah, ah……” dozens of miserable screams came out one after another, followed by a splash of blood as thirty five knights fell to the ground from their horse beasts.In the brow of each knight, there was a long arrow running through.The thirty or so horse beasts were a little agitated for a moment because of their masters’ fall.These horse beasts were obviously extremely well trained and quickly stabilised.
That only living knight was completely frozen in place, and when he saw clearly that every knight who fell from his horse had a long arrow through his brow, and all of them went through the same place, he was immediately like falling into an ice cave.
The other nine people who were nervously facing each other on this side also froze, these thirty-six knights who could have easily reaped their lives had turned into thirty-five corpses in a matter of breaths plus one who hadn’t reacted yet.
Mo Wuji slowly walked over to this knight who was still alive and spoke out to interrupt the knight’s shock and stagnation, “What now?I’ve violated your Uncommon Wuji’s rules again.”
As he spoke, Mo Wuji raised his leg and swept it, and the front legs of the horse beast that this knight was sitting on immediately broke.The horse beast let out a neigh and flopped to the ground.This knight also fell down and plopped onto the ground.
At this moment, this knight, who looked very tall and sturdy, was no longer able to speak.The arrogance and coldness from before had turned into a laughing stock at this moment.
“Three Jiao Hunter Hua Xuan has met senior, I have eyes to recognise senior before, please forgive me.”The woman who was asked for directions by Mo Wuji and later turned around when she heard Mo Wuji asking about the black-tailed bee hurriedly walked over and bowed to Mo Wuji and said.
Mo Wuji asked, “Three Jiao Hunters, you guys are an adventuring team?”
Hua Xuan hurriedly explained, “We’re not really an adventuring team, we’re barely considered mercenaries, while we also take on some escort business.”
Mo Wuji nodded, “Then what is this Impermanent Wushuang?”
Hua Xuan said gruffly, “The Impermanent Wushuang is the largest group of mercenaries, or horse thieves, in the Sick Wood Plain.The leaders are two siblings, called Impermanent and Wushuang respectively.They have been surviving in the middle zone between the Thousand Thai Lord Country and the Featherlight Lord Country, and they are very powerful.At most, there were even ten thousand regular cavalrymen.They had done nothing but kill people in this area.Initially, any merchant travellers that passed through the Sickwood Plains would be killed by the Uncommon Wushuang.Later on, they changed their tactics, and any merchant travellers who passed through the Sickwood Plains would have half of their stuff siphoned off by them.Anyone who resists will be killed immediately.”
Mo Wuji asked suspiciously, “If that’s the case, why didn’t both Lordships exterminate them?”
Hua Xuan sighed, “It’s because the Uncommon Undisputed’s army is too powerful and swiftly moving to be exterminated.Once either Lord Country dares to propose to exterminate them, they will immediately join forces with the other Lord Country to turn on each other.Moreover, I suspect that Uncanny Wushuang is in collusion with the lords of both lorddoms.”
“Senior, our leaders, Lord Changeless and Lord Wushuang are both Immortal Masters ……”
This knight who was kicked off the horse and beast by Mo Wuji hurriedly said something opportunistically, he wanted to make Mo Wuji feel some scorn in his heart and then spare his life.However, before he could finish his sentence, he was stomped down by Mo Wuji.
“What did they come after you guys for?”Mo Wuji originally didn’t intend to ask about this matter, some fight between mundanes, where was the good stuff?However, after hearing the other party speak about how the Uncommon Wushuang were both Immortal Masters as well, he immediately wanted to know what it was that the Uncommon Wushuang were after.
Hua Xuan bowed and saluted, ”Back to senior, it’s a pair of sea charts, which point to an Immortal Mansion in the sea.This pair of sea charts is not on me right now, I have already handed it over to big sister Eleven Mother.”
The sea charts were also known to Changeless Wushuang, and there was no need for her to continue hiding it from this powerful senior.
“Eleven Niang?”Mo Wuji suddenly heard a familiar name and hurriedly asked after it.
Hua Xuan hurriedly said, “Eleven Niang is the big sister of our Three Jiao Hunters.”
“With a big sister you must have a second sister right?”Mo Wuji continued to enquire.
“Yes, my Three Jiao Hunter’s second sister is Jing Leng Pei, and my third sister is Mo Xiangtong ……”
“Where are they now?”Mo Wuji excitedly interrupted Hua Xuan’s words, seeing Hua Xuan’s astonished face looking at this, Mo Wuji explained, “Eleven Niang and I are friends, and Mo Xiangtong is my cousin.I inquired about the Black Tailed Bee because Jing Leng Bei wanted to seek revenge on the Black Tailed Bee, so I wanted to go search for the Black Tailed Bee first and ask.”
