After getting the two hundred contribution points from Luo Hai Merchant House, Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi returned to the Chase Shop.
Mo Wuji realised that there were at most thirty people in the fifty person Chase Shop at the moment. A sea beast attack had reduced the number of people in this room by two fifths.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressing, and after Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi returned, almost all of them stood up. Their faces were all respectful and awe-inspiring, clearly they knew about Mo Wuji’s toughness and madness.
To be able to kill two thunder beasts by oneself, other than an immortal master, only that kind of extremely strong martial artist could do it.
“What is the meaning of this?” Mo Wuji looked at the crowd in doubt.
“Brother Mo, did you really kill two six-legged thunder crocodiles?” The well-mannered Tang Bo Xian came up and asked with some disbelief in his eyes. Because he was still on good terms with Mo Wuji, he dared to take the initiative to come up and ask.
Mo Wuji smiled, “It’s just better luck, right, how come I haven’t seen Ruan Ye?”
Tang Bo Xian’s expression immediately dropped, “Ruan Ye can’t come back.”
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, people really do need some luck. In terms of resourcefulness and dexterity Tang Bo Xian was not as good as Ruan Ye, and now that Ruan Ye had not returned, Tang Bo Xian was safe and sound.
Originally, the people in the room were still just talking amongst themselves, and were not very convinced of this news brought back by the people in the same room. Now that Mo Wuji personally admitted that he had finished off the two thunder crocodiles, the atmosphere in the room was once again quiet.
“Many thanks to Big Brother Mo ……” Qin Xiangyu, who was already inside the tent, suddenly opened the tent and bowed to Mo Wuji in a salute, his tone carrying a strong sense of gratitude and respect.
Mo Wuji knew that she should have seen the scene where he had assassinated that red clothed man, he just nodded his head to signify that she didn’t need to take it to heart before he said to the rest of the group, “I’m going to take a break, everyone rest, try not to make any noises if nothing else.”
At this moment, Mo Wuji’s voice was the holy decree here, as soon as he spoke, the people who stood up all went to their own ground to rest, and the room was even quieter than before. Even when they spoke, they all whispered.
All of them were clear that this wasn’t because there were almost twenty less people, but because Mo Wuji liked to be quiet.
……
I don’t know if it was because of Qu Wan’er’s warning or because he simply didn’t put Mo Wuji in his eyes. The one Mo Wuji was worried about, Shao Feng, had not come to trouble him.
After finding out the price of the merit law, Mo Wuji never intended to go over to the auction again. The hundred thousand or so gold coins he had on him seemed like a lot, but if he were to say that he would purchase a merit law or something like that, I’m afraid that he was still too far, too far away.
Midway through the journey, he once again experienced several sea beast attacks, but these attacks were not six-legged thunder crocodiles, nor were they as large as the scale of that thunder crocodile. Although Mo Wuji hadn’t cultivated, he could often strike hidden electric arcs in times of crisis. Teaming up with Yuan Zhen and the two of them, although they didn’t dare to say that they were invincible, they hadn’t suffered any major losses either.
Several times down the line, the two of them had also killed quite a few sea beasts, but helplessly, the value of these sea beasts was far less than the six-legged thunder crocodile, and Mo Wuji had only added fifty contribution points to the orange contribution scoreboard of Luo Hai Merchant House.
Two months later, when there were only about twenty people left in Mo Wuji’s pass-through shop, the Leaping Sea ship finally arrived at the Star Han Empire’s imperial capital, Chang Luo.
Almost at the same time the ‘Leaping Sea’ docked, the people inside the cabin were the ones who swarmed out. At this time, it was the Immortal Master’s name that was no good anymore.
After two consecutive months of being suppressed by death at all times, and not being able to see land, this urgency to rush up after seeing land, no one could stop it.
Good thing those immortal masters didn’t try to stop them, even if the swarming crowd rushed towards the shore and brought some people to fall down, and finally got trampled to death, no one bothered about it.
In just half an incense stick of time, most of the boat full of people had gone. Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi didn’t bother to squeeze, instead, they left the boat and went ashore only after the crowd had been evacuated. This had already reached Changluo, what was there to rob?
“Wuji, you don’t need to go with me. After arriving at Changluo, you can walk around as you please. I’m going to stay with Ji Xing and attend the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly in a month’s time.” Yuan Zhenyi knew that Mo Wuji didn’t have a spiritual root and wouldn’t go with him to the restaurant to wait for the opening of the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly.
Mo Wuji indeed had no intention of accompanying that Ji Xing to wait together with Yuan Zhenyi, he planned to find a place to stay first, and then secretly go and test his spirit root again. Now that he had passed through three meridians, it wasn’t quite clear whether he had a spiritual root or not. Regardless of whether he had a spiritual root or not, Mo Wuji intended to do everything he could to purchase a cultivation technique to try and see if he could channel the lightning source within him.
There was another item in the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly which was the selection of miscellaneous disciples, so Mo Wuji still wanted to go and take a look. Even if he couldn’t become a true disciple without a spiritual root, it would still be good to become a handyman disciple.
“Then let’s part ways here, where do I need to find you to go?” Mo Wuji knew that Yuan Zhenyi accompanying Ji Xing would definitely not be wandering around like him and must have a fixed place to stay.
“Brother Wuji, Zhenyi and I live at the Far Guest Restaurant, if you want to find Zhenyi, go to the Far Guest Restaurant.” Standing on the side, Ji Xing took the initiative to say with a smile on his face.
In the two months on the ship, he had seen how powerful Mo Wuji was. Among so many household servants who accompanied their masters, there weren’t many who were the same as Mo Wuji who could kill two six-legged thunder crocodiles on his own. If Mo Wuji didn’t have a spiritual root, he would have pulled down his status to befriend Mo Wuji.
Unfortunately, as powerful as Mo Wuji was, without a spiritual root, he was destined to be a mortal. All he had to do was to worship his master, and in another year or two, Mo Wuji would have to look up to him. For him, being able to smile and talk to Mo Wuji was already considered the greatest lowering of his stance.
Mo Wuji didn’t care at all about what Ji Xing thought in his heart, even if he knew, he didn’t even care. He just exchanged greetings with Yuan Zhenyi and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Neither Yuan Zhenyi nor Ding Bueri needed to bother him, Yuan Zhenyi had his own opinions, and what he wanted to do in Raozhou this time was definitely planned long ago. Ding Bu Er followed by Han Ning’s side, until the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly was over, he had a chance to become a miscellaneous disciple.
He was the only one who did not have a place to go yet. Despite this, Mo Wuji was in a good mood all the same.
In Rao Zhou, he didn’t even dare to go out. It was only until now that he had truly gained his freedom. Every breath of air here was fresh to Mo Wuji.
Looking back at the vastness of the ocean he had just come over, there would eventually be a day when he would go over there again.
……
Changluo, the capital city of the Star Han Empire.
Before Mo Wuji even entered Changluo City, he felt a prosperous and honourable aura. Several spacious green stone roads were juxtaposed together, and from afar, it looked like a long green dragon.
Each road was filled with people travelling to and fro. Cheng Yu Kingdom’s capital city, Rao Zhou, was considered prosperous, but when placed in Chang Luo City, it would be a small town at best.
The majestic city buildings and the spacious and huge city gates caused a fire to well up in Mo Wuji’s heart. Here, this was the place to truly start a big scene, perhaps this was why everyone wanted to come to the imperial capital.
Mo Wuji quickened his pace and followed the crowd along the wide green stone road into Chang Luo City.
