Earthly Deity Chapter 88

“My pet is the one you took …… away,” the grim voice rang out.

Mo Wuji and Yin Shanyin saw clearly this time, it was a woman who was so faint that she was only a shadow. The woman’s face was blurred, and it was impossible to see exactly what she looked like.

The eerie aura within the stone cave grew thicker and thicker, and Mo Wuji subconsciously winced. He felt that the air around him was about to freeze, but the truth was that there was no half change.

Yin Shanyin suddenly threw out the cloth bag that was confining the Life Devouring Beast behind her back, ”Senior Yan Fei, I didn’t know that this Life Devouring Beast had a master, please forgive me senior. Senior Mo, we can’t stay here to disturb senior ……”

Fu Yanfei? Mo Wuji didn’t know how Yin Shanyin recognised the other party. However, when he saw the look in Yin Shanyin’s eyes, he guessed that Yin Shanyin was most likely talking blindly, and that the person in front of him was not Fu Yanfei at all. As for the purpose of the blind talk, he didn’t know.

“Since you’re here, then don’t leave. Could it be that old thing Zhuo Wuhen didn’t tell you guys that the Traceless Sword Mountain isn’t something you can just come in?” After the shadow finished speaking, it stretched out a withered white hand grip to slowly grab the top of Mo Wuji’s head.

Mo Wuji wanted to move, but he couldn’t move at all.

Yin Shanyin suddenly opened her mouth and sprayed out a mouthful of blood, the hand that was originally just as confined suddenly lifted up, followed by a stab of the longsword in her hand, and the space around Mo Wuji that was frozen by the coldness seemed to have loosened up a little.

“Senior Brother Mo, I can only help you here, hurry up and escape ……” after Yin Shanyin stabbed out this sword, her entire body turned into a line and flew out backwards.

Mo Wuji didn’t blame Yin Shanyin, at this time, even he could only save himself. Yin Shanyin couldn’t save him at all, to be able to blast away the space around him that was frozen by the Yin cold with a single sword before leaving was already considered very enough.

Mo Wuji didn’t follow Yin Shanyin to escape, he understood one thing, when the wolves were chasing after him, you don’t need to run faster than the wolves, you just need to run faster than your companion. Right now, his companion was Yin Shanyin, he couldn’t run faster than Yin Shanyin no matter what.

This one applied to Yin Shanyin, and did not apply to him. When Yin Shanyin blasted his confinement away before she left, she had the idea of saving him, not necessarily without the idea of letting him help block it.

Perhaps it was Yin Shanyin who also knew that even if she let Mo Wuji block it, she wouldn’t be able to escape this woman who was only a shadow.

Mo Wuji didn’t flee at the first moment he was able to move, instead, he quickly bent down and pulled out his sharp knife while stabbing out.

“Ah……” A miserable scream accompanied by a blue lightning arc flew out backwards, and Mo Wuji instantly came to his senses. Although the opponent was strong, he was afraid of his thunder arc.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji turned around and pulled his legs out, rushing out of this cave as fast as he could.

That shadow woman was too strong, so powerful that it was unbelievable. Although he had injured her with the lightning arc when the other party wasn’t paying attention. But if he didn’t leave, when the other party understood that he was a paper tiger, it would probably be his time for tragedy.

Perhaps Mo Wuji’s thunder arc had worked, when Mo Wuji rushed out of that vine at the entrance of the cave, the shadow woman still didn’t catch up and make a move.

Mo Wuji had just rushed out of the cave when a heavenly force wrapped him up. Mo Wuji was shocked, he thought that the shadow woman had locked onto him again. However, when he turned around and saw that the shadow woman was rushing out from the cave vines, he knew that the force that wrapped him up was not the shadow woman.

When the shadow woman’s withered hand grabbed at Mo Wuji again, Mo Wuji had already been swept away by that heavenly force and disappeared into thin air.

……

The heavy landing shook Mo Wuji backward out several steps almost falling to the ground, and then Mo Wuji realised that he had appeared in the middle of the stone hall where he had been teleported to the Traceless Sword Mountain earlier.

Other than him, he also saw Yin Shanyin, Master Qu Dan and another guy he didn’t recognise.

Thirteen people went in, and only four of them actually came out, which was less than a third of the pace. Shi Dan Shi didn’t come out either, it looked like he was in a bad way. Mo Wuji felt a little saddened in his heart, although Shi Dan Shi wasn’t a great alchemist, his qualifications were poor, and he had a big temper, he was a straightforward person without so many flowery thoughts.

When Yin Shanyin saw that Mo Wuji had actually come out, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. As a matter of fact, she felt guilty after not being able to bring Mo Wuji out. As for Mo Wuji’s little property, it was not yet in her eyes.

Master Qu Dan also saw Mo Wuji, and an expression of unbelievable surprise immediately appeared in his eyes. Mo Wuji was just a medicine boy, a medicine boy who actually survived amidst the previous transmission array going wrong.

Before a few people could speak, a group of people hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the main hall, and at the head of the group was none other than the Patriarch of the Traceless Sword Sect, Lone Ran.

Lone Ran was visibly relieved when he saw Yin Shanyin. He immediately said, “The teleportation array to the Traceless Sword Mountain suddenly went awry, causing our Traceless Sword Sect to suffer heavy losses. Luckily, there are still four people who came out, and there are still three Dan Masters, which is a blessing amongst misfortunes.”

“Patriarch, let’s just go back to the main hall and talk about it.” An elder was also relieved after seeing Yin Shanyin.

“Hehe, aren’t you Master Shi Dan’s medicine boy? Why are you still alive?” Someone finally noticed Mo Wuji.

At this moment, the Patriarch who was worried about Yin Shanyin also landed his attention on Mo Wuji, before he was also puzzled as to why Mo Wuji was still alive. However, since his entire focus was on Yin Shanyin, he didn’t bother to enquire about Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji hurriedly bowed and said, “Back to all the sect seniors, senior was saved by Master Yin Dan, and that’s how I was able to retrieve a small life.”

There were so many sect elders here, Mo Wuji reckoned that he was not qualified to call Senior Sister Yin Shanyin.

“Oh, there is such a thing?” The Patriarch and the elders all landed their gazes on Yin Shanyin.

Yin Shanyin nodded, “Indeed, I happened to meet the injured Senior Brother Mo, which led me to save him. Later on, I realised that Senior Brother Mo’s family has a great deal of learning and is also from the lineage of alchemists. Although his spiritual root qualification is a bit weaker, he has extraordinary insight into the Dao of Dan. When I met him ……”

Mo Wuji hurriedly interjected, “I also have to thank Senior Sister Yin for the grace of creation, if it wasn’t for Senior Sister Yin’s dedicated guidance, I probably wouldn’t have been able to become a true Dan Master.”

Yin Shanyin had some doubts in her heart, when she saw Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was already a First Grade Human Dan Master, and was only one step away from being a Second Grade Human Dan Master. In fact, she really didn’t instruct Mo Wuji much, she just gave a slight nod. Although she didn’t understand why Mo Wuji was putting the credit on her head, she didn’t say much.

“You’re a dan master?” Lone Ran looked at Mo Wuji in surprise, he had never heard of a medicine boy who was an errand boy disciple who could suddenly turn into a dan master.

Yin Shanyin replied for Mo Wuji, “Yes, Sovereign, not only is Senior Brother Mo a Dan Master, he is also a Second Grade Human Dan Master. I did instruct him some when he was able to advance to a Second Grade Human Dan Master. But the main thing is his alchemy talent, his alchemy talent is even a little stronger than me.”

Thinking of Mo Wuji’s previous words, Yin Shanyin took the initiative to take the credit for Mo Wuji’s advancement to Second Grade Human Dan Master.

“So that’s how it is.” Lone Ran, the Patriarch of the Traceless Sword Sect’s eyes lit up after hearing Yin Shanyin’s words, “So Wuji is still a Second Grade Human Dan Master, Shanyin, why don’t you let Wuji become my Traceless Sword Sect’s official Dan Master …….”

Qu Dan Master who was a little upset with Mo Wuji before had an ugly look on his face, a pill boy even wanted to be on par with him. It was just that after Mo Wuji became a Second Grade Human Dan Master, he simply didn’t have any reason to offer a counter opinion.

However, Yin Shanyin said at this time, “Even though Senior Brother Mo is a Second Grade Human Dan Master and his alchemy talent is extremely amazing, his spiritual root is not very good ……”

Yin Shanyin didn’t finish her words, but she reminded Master Qu Dan, and he hurriedly followed, “Patriarch, Senior Sister Yin is right. Senior Brother Mo was previously an odd-job disciple with poor cultivation qualifications. A dan master doesn’t only need alchemy talent, if the cultivation qualification is too poor, it will be difficult to advance further throughout his life. A dan master who can’t advance and joins the Traceless Sword Sect will ultimately affect the sect ……”

The Traceless Sword Sect’s Patriarch, Lone Ran, also calmed down, the sect’s own dan masters needed to invest a lot of resources, a dan master who couldn’t advance wasn’t a good thing for the sect.

“Patriarch, I think it would be best if we let Dan Master Mo become the clan’s guest Dan Master.” Yin Shanyin spoke again.

Even Dan Master Qu followed suit and chimed in approvingly, the resources that a guest dan master received in the sect were completely incomparable to the sect’s own dan masters. For a dan master to advance, apart from talent, the most important thing was alchemy resources. Without resources, what’s the point of having talent?

Lone Ran and the elders were lamenting in their hearts, although Yin Shanyin’s talent in alchemy was amazing, she was slightly inferior elsewhere. Even if they wanted Mo Wuji to become a Guest Dan Master, they couldn’t bring it up in front of Mo Wuji. That would make Mo Wuji’s gratitude towards her disappear.

Now that Yin Shanyin had brought it up, Solitary Ran had no choice but to ask, “Dan Master Mo, I wonder if you have the desire to become a Guest Dan Master of my Traceless Sword Sect.”

Becoming the Traceless Sword Sect’s Guest Dan Master was originally something that Mo Wuji and Yin Shanyin had discussed, and now that the Traceless Sword Sect’s Patriarch had inquired about him, Mo Wuji naturally didn’t have any hesitation in saying, “Thank you, Patriarch, I am willing to become the Traceless Sword Sect’s Guest Dan Master.”

The Traceless Sword Sect’s Elders and Patriarch Lone glanced at each other heartily, the miscellaneous disciples were indeed better to talk to.
