“Where is that loose cultivator?”Xia Mo’s face did not look good, but he did not quite believe that Zeng Hou Yi would do such a thing.
Luo De sighed, “This matter was spread out in the hall of a restaurant, there were too many people in the restaurant at that time, everyone only knew to spread this matter, no one paid attention to who actually said it.”
Speaking here Rod paused for a moment, “Young Lord, I heard Shao Yin say that Scattered Cultivation 2705’s qualifications are very poor.For someone with very poor qualifications to be able to defeat Young Yin, who is number one on the Human Ranking, at the Dematerialisation Realm, it is evident that this person must have a great secret.If Elder Zeng had perceived his secret, it would be hard to tell this kind of thing.”
Ancient Shao Yin suddenly winced, he was somewhat glad that he had left early.If he had left later, he might have been silenced.
Xia Mo’s heart was already somewhat convinced of Luo De’s words, and when Luo De saw this, he even added more fuel to the fire and said, “Scattered cultivator 2705’s contribution score is so high, and he has always been ranked at the top of the list, so why does he never show up for this kind of big publicity?I’m afraid that this person is just worried about his secret being discovered.This time, if Cen Shuyin hadn’t gone to him, we wouldn’t have been able to find him all the same.”
Xia Mo heart more and more hate, Zeng Hou Yi is his Xia family’s people, actually see the treasure up, kill the casual cultivator 2705 after not return the treasure to the Xia family, but instead out of the Xia family, is really killable.
“Forget it, prepare to go to the Heavenly Academy Palace to climb that Heavenly Steps, and then return to the True Stranger Continent.”Xia Mo’s face changed several times, and could only sigh and say.
Zeng Houyi was almost a half-step Immortal King’s cultivation, and if he went out against him, there was simply no one around himself who could restrain him.Protector Xu would be able to kill Zeng Hou Yi in seconds, but Protector Xu was an Earthly Immortal King, and not a vassal of his Xia family, so it was simply not something he could command to move.
If it was for his official business, Protector Xu might even come out to help him a little.Now, for his personal matters, Protector Xu might not even bother to pay attention to him.He’d better not go looking for fun, lest he run into a wall.
As for Zeng Hou Yi being killed, he didn’t even think about it.Someone from the Lost Continent could kill Zeng Hou Yi?Don’t joke about it.If there really was such a strong person, would he not come out when the Hundred Sect Alliance was almost destroyed?
……
Mo Wuji was currently on his way to the Yulin Lei Clan, and he believed that Xia Mo, no matter how much he trusted Zeng Hou Yi, would still be suspicious about his disappearance.Just because there was no one in the Lost Continent who could restrain Zeng Hou Yi, the strength of that white-bearded fishing man might not even be known to the Heavenly Enquiring Academy.
The only thing that made Mo Wuji doubtful was, the strength of that White-bearded Angler, could it really be an Earthly Immortal King?
Wasn’t it said that it was difficult to even enter the True God Realm in the Lost Continent?How could there be an Earthly Immortal King?
Mo Wuji thought of that Heaven Enquiring Steps in the Heaven Enquiring Palace and secretly said that even something like the Heaven Enquiring Steps existed, why couldn’t there be an Earthly Immortal King?Maybe it’s not necessarily from somewhere else.
It was good that Cen Shuyin was taken away by this white-bearded old man, he only hoped that the white-bearded old man could save Cen Shuyin’s life.In any case, after he established the Tian Ji Sect, he would also have to go to the Heaven Inquiring Academy to ask how Cen Shuyin was doing.
……
Yulin, was an area.It neither belonged to a lord country nor a county country.Although Yulin was in the place where the Star Han Empire and the Heavenly Merchant Empire met, it was not under the control of the two empires.
There was a huge family here called the Yulin Lei Clan.
The Lei Clan’s inheritance is even longer than the history of some ancient clans, and it is rumoured that in ancient times, the Lei Clan was one of the top clans, where a whole lot of True God Realms existed.
It was only in recent years that the Lei Clan gradually declined.Even so, the Lei Clan was still the topmost Earth-level clan here.With more and more talented disciples from the Lei Clan, the Lei Clan was expected to return to the ranks of quasi-heaven ranked clans once again.
In the Yulin area, the Lei Clan represented a word, and whatever that word said, then all the people in Yulin had to do.
There was no one who dared to fight against the Lei Clan, including some of the Earth-level clans.
Among all the clans, the same rank cultivator Lei Clan had the strongest fighting strength.This was because the Lei Clan had inherited a Lei Spiritual Root in their family, and once this kind of Spiritual Root appeared, they were one of the top-tier powerhouses, with almost no rivals at the same rank.
The surname of the Lei Clan was also said to have arisen because of the Lei Spiritual Root, and it has been used to this day.
Lei, is a small town at the edge of the Yulin District.Because of the power of the Yulin Lei Clan, the town of Lei has always been very prosperous.Apart from the Lei Clan’s children, almost no horse thieves or cultivators dared to cause trouble here.
Yi.Mo Wuji, who had disguised himself as an unusual middle-aged casual cultivator, walked into Ri Yi Town, and in this place, there were hardly any traces of extra-territorial cultivator invasion to be seen.
Mo Wuji walked into a restaurant and casually ordered a pot of wine in the ground floor hall of the restaurant.He originally wanted to find a fellow here to ask for some information, but instead, he heard two people beside him discussing Lei Hongji.It was a pity that these two people only discussed for a few sentences before they took the topic elsewhere.
Mo Wuji gave up on asking the mate for news and carried his own jug of wine to these two people’s table, casually cupping his hands and saying, “Two friends, please, if you don’t mind, this drink is on me.”
These two people didn’t know Mo Wuji at all, and when they heard Mo Wuji’s words, they both looked at Mo Wuji with some surprise.It was naturally fine to buy someone a drink, but there had to be a reason for it, right?
“The two friends don’t have to think much, because my favourite genius is Lei Clan’s Senior Brother Lei Hongji.To think that Senior Brother Lei Hongji is so young that he is a top tier lightning cultivator, even my Lost Continent doesn’t have many of them.I think that Senior Brother Lei Hongji joining the Great Diffusion Sect is not the Great Diffusion Sect adding to his lustre, but rather him adding to the lustre of the Great Diffusion Sect.By the way, I just heard from my two friends that Senior Brother Lei Hongji has passed the screening and is going to the True Stranger Continent?”Mo Wuji looked as if he had found a common language, and as soon as he sat down, he was gushing.
These two cultivators who were discussing about Lei Hongji were instantly relieved once they heard Mo Wuji’s words.In this part of Yulin, the Lei Clan’s Lei Hongji even had a large number of fans.
The slightly chubby cultivator clapped his hands and said, ”My friend is right, Senior Brother Lei Hongji has passed three rounds in a row and has become a genius that can travel to the True Stranger Continent.I also heard from someone that when that Earthly Immortal King of the True Stranger Continent heard that Senior Brother Lei was an Extreme Thunder Spirit Root, he even praised him specifically.It said that with this kind of spirit root qualification, even if you don’t pass the screening, you’re still qualified to travel to the True Stranger Continent.”
“Good!”Mo Wuji also followed the slightly fatter cultivator’s example of clapping his hands and praising loudly, after which he said in a somewhat downcast manner, “It’s a pity that I didn’t go to Yindu Plaza, or else, I could have witnessed Senior Brother Lei’s peerless style, how windy it would have been.”
The two of them didn’t know what pulling style meant, but it was definitely a tone of praise.The other cultivator with paler skin nodded and said approvingly, “What my friend said is true, but many people are heading to the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace right now, and Senior Brother Lei has also gone there.If my friend goes to the Heaven Asking Academy now, he might even be able to see Senior Brother Lei in the distance.”
“Why do we need to go to the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace?”Mo Wuji was shocked in his heart and hurriedly asked.He originally wanted to enquire about Lei’s news, but instead he asked out that everyone was going to the Heaven Enquiring School Palace, could it be that his grafting scheme had failed?
The white-skinned cultivator laughed, ”It looks like you don’t know, my friend, that the envoy of the True Stranger Continent’s Star Emperor Mountain admires the Heaven Asking Steps of the Heaven Asking School Palace.So he’s going to climb the Heaven Asking Steps to see if he can take first place.At the same time, all the geniuses travelling to the True Stranger Continent were also required to climb the Heaven Asking Steps once.In this way, everyone’s potential for development would be determined.Senior Brother Lei entered the top 100 in the competition, so naturally, he will also be travelling to the Heaven Asking Palace.”
Hearing that it was the Heaven Asking Steps, Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and asked with slight surprise, “Then aren’t all of Lei’s powerhouses going to the Heaven Asking Academy Palace?”
The slightly chubby cultivator shook his head and said, “Quite the contrary, none of the Lei Clan’s powerhouses will be going over there.”
“Why?Senior Brother Lei Hongji is the Lei Clan’s first genius, so why isn’t anyone going over there, this is too little importance.”Mo Wuji said impassionedly with a look of righteous indignation.
The slightly chubby cultivator laughed, “My friend is truly a man of nature, I’ll tell you the truth, the third day of the beginning of next month is the day of the incense of the Lei Clan’s Old Ancestor, all the Lei Clan’s sons and daughters must come back to offer incense and worship.”
Mo Wuji’s heart was ecstatic when he heard this, the heavens were trying to destroy the Lei Clan, allowing him to catch such a good opportunity.
“Then, is Lei Hongji going to come back as well?”Mo Wuji asked, still at a loss.
The slightly chubby cultivator said, “Originally, he was going to come back, but the envoy from the True Stranger Continent casually said that the one hundred disciples selected were not allowed to leave the group, and once they did, they would be treated as quitting.The Lei Clan Chief could only let Senior Brother Lei Hongji not return for the time being, and follow the True Stranger Continent’s team to climb the Heaven Asking Steps.”
“I heard that the Lei Clan Chief is at the Void God Perfection realm, I wonder if it’s true.”Mo Wuji babbled.
“Hehe, that’s where you’re wrong, the Lei Clan’s Clan Chief is said to be at the third level of the Void God, the real Void God Perfection is the Lei Clan’s First Elder, Elder Lei Guang.”The slightly chubby cultivator laughed, he was satisfied that he was able to educate Mo Wuji.
“Haha…… looks like I was too focused on Lei Hongji, so I didn’t focus on anything else.Come on, drink.”After saying that, Mo Wuji picked up the cup in front of him and drank it all in one go.
The other two both resonated with Mo Wuji’s bravado and also picked up their cups and drank it all.
……
The Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace had once again regained its usual prosperity and bustle, and the front of the Heavenly Enquiring Steps was even more overcrowded.Many people had rushed over from Yindu Square, coming specifically to watch the Lost Continent powerhouses climb the Heavenly Questioning Steps.Moreover, everyone had also heard that the envoys from the True Stranger Continent would also participate in climbing the Heavenly Questioning Steps.
Therefore, these days, the Questioning Heaven Academy Palace was open to the public, and anyone, could enter the Questioning Heaven Academy Palace and come before the Questioning Heaven Steps Square.Of course, one could only come to the Questioning Heaven Steps Square, and could not go anywhere else.
Ask the Heavenly Steps before the Ask the Heavenly Ranking was even covered by a huge red cloth, waiting for the envoy of the True Stranger Continent to announce the start of the climb.
Xia Mo stood in the square of the Heavenly Steps, looking up at the Heavenly Steps that could not see the top at all, his heart suddenly surged with an impulse and bravado.He wanted to climb to the top of the Heavenly Questioning Steps, so that his name would always be engraved on the first place of the Heavenly Questioning Steps Ranking, so that the geniuses from the Lost Continent in the future would be the first to think of him, Xia Mo, when they came here.
“Lift off the red cloth and reveal the Heavenly Enquiring Ranking.”Xia Mo waved his hand in a spirited manner, the blow from a few days ago was thrown aside.
The red cloth was swept away by a strong wind, and after the Ask the Heavens Ranking came out, the plaza under the Ask the Heavens Steps immediately resounded with the sound of astonished echoes.
