Chapter 265: Mo Wuji's Methods
Dong Luohua's face was deathly pale. Although his Dong Family was powerful, it lacked a True God Realm expert. This was a point Dong Luohua couldn't understand. Ever since the Dong Family had acquired the Soul Grafting technique, they had consistently produced top-grade spiritual roots. Because of this, the direct descendants of the Dong Family cultivated at an extremely rapid pace, but strangely, they never had a True God Realm expert.
It was also for this reason that the Dong Family had been quietly developing, never wanting to be the first to take the lead in anything. If the Dong Family had a True God Realm expert, even in the face of the current unfavorable situation, Extreme Sword City wouldn't be in such a passive position.
Feng Zhenqiu's expression was extremely unsightly. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Dong Mingzi, who was cowering to one side and trembling, took out a spiritual root testing instrument, and threw Dong Mingzi into it.
Mo Wuji noticed that this spiritual root testing instrument was different from the ones he had seen before. This one had two crystal pillars, one behind and the other slanted, forming a Y-shape with the one behind.
Feng Zhenqiu slapped the spiritual root testing instrument, and soon both crystal pillars behind Dong Mingzi lit up. The earthy yellow light of the pillar behind him rose less than two feet before stopping. However, the slanted crystal pillar had a golden light that reached all the way to the top.
"Bang!" Feng Zhenqiu kicked Dong Mingzi off the testing instrument and coldly said, "Your spiritual root is indeed grafted."
After saying that, Feng Zhenqiu cupped his fists towards all the cultivators in the plaza and said, "Fellow Daoists, although the cultivation civilization of my Lost Continent is relatively backward, Heavenly Realm cultivators still occasionally appear here, though rarely. And among all the cultivation continents, what is the most despicable thing that people despise? It is those who transfer other people's spiritual roots. These scoundrels specialize in doing things that harm others without benefiting themselves."
Hearing this, even Mo Wuji was a bit puzzled. How was this harming others without benefiting oneself? Transferring a good spiritual root to oneself was naturally a case of harming others and benefiting oneself.
Feng Zhenqiu snorted coldly, "Does everyone think that transferring a good spiritual root to oneself benefits them? I can tell you that those who transfer spiritual roots will never be able to sense the lightning tribulation. Therefore, they can only wander in the Earth Realm forever, and they can never step into the Heavenly Realm. When their lifespan ends, they will suffer the pain of spirit dispersion, which is ten times stronger than the pain of those who had their spiritual roots stripped away in the first place..."
Dong Luohua trembled all over. No wonder the Dong Family had never produced a True God Realm expert, and according to records, the ancestors of the Dong Family suffered extreme pain when they died. He never expected that those who transferred spiritual roots could not advance to the True God Realm at all.
At this point, Feng Zhenqiu's tone suddenly turned severe, "Those who transfer other people's spiritual roots, everyone has the right to punish them. Are the enforcers of the Hundred Sect Alliance present..."
Several Void God Realm experts landed on the conference platform from nowhere, their murderous aura emanating out, and even Mo Wuji felt a chill.
"Immediately execute the Dong Family of Extreme Sword City, and wipe out this poisonous family from this land." Feng Zhenqiu's tone was filled with intense killing intent, without the slightest bit of leniency.
"Yes." Several Void God Realm experts flashed and disappeared instantly.
Dong Luohua pointed at Mo Wuji, trembling, "What grievances does my Dong Family have with you, that you want to destroy my Dong Family?"
He was unwilling, the Dong Family was being destroyed so inexplicably, and the culprit was this Heavenly Mechanism Sect ant in front of him.
Mo Wuji coldly said, "Because Jing Feilan's disciple Yan'er is my family member. Your Dong Family actually wanted to strip Yan'er's spiritual root. From the moment Yan'er's spiritual meridians were destroyed and she lost her mind, appearing in Changluo City, I vowed to destroy your Extreme Sword City."
"So it was you..." Dong Luohua muttered to himself. When Dong Lun unscrupulously moved the Soul Grafting to Changluo, he felt that something was wrong. Later, someone did cause trouble, but fortunately, it only resulted in the loss of one victim. Now he finally understood that the lost victim was called Yan'er, and she must have been taken away by Mo Wuji. It turned out that the seeds of disaster were sown at that time.
"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you," Mo Wuji continued. "Yan'er is now the number one genius of the Pill Tower of Wentian School, and your son Dong Lun was killed by me. I killed him in the Five Elements Barren Domain, and he told me that the Dong Family of Extreme Sword City would avenge him. Today, I'm waiting for you to take revenge, you old dog."
Dong Luohua opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt so much hatred in his heart, why couldn't he have known earlier and killed this ant?
Logically speaking, even if Feng Zhenqiu was the Dean of Wentian School, he should have discussed such matters with the person in charge of the Hundred Sect Alliance and Jiang Xiushan of the Great衍 Sect.
However, Feng Zhenqiu did not discuss it and issued the order directly. Jiang Xiushan was unhappy, but could not refute it.
He then stood up and said, "From now on, anyone in my Lost Continent who sees a member of the Dong Family of Extreme Sword City has the right to punish them. Someone, nail Dong Luohua and Dong Mingzi outside the Five Elements Domain City as a warning to others."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiushan raised his hand and shot out two rays of light, which passed through the foreheads of Dong Luohua and Dong Mingzi, whose faces were already ashen. The two men, now dead, were quickly taken away. It was believed that in the next moment, they would be nailed to the city gate of the Five Elements Domain City, becoming a disgrace that could never be erased.
Jing Feilan's one eye shed a tear. In order to take revenge, she had been hiding for years, but she had not made any progress. But when Mo Wuji wanted to take revenge, it only took a little over an hour for the Dong Family of Extreme Sword City to be completely wiped out from the Lost Continent.
Moreover, the revenge was satisfying. Not only was the Dong Family of Extreme Sword City wiped out, but they were also nailed to the pillar of shame, never to rise again. This kind of revenge was a hundred times better than directly attacking Extreme Sword City.
Fortunately, she didn't see Mo Wuji's potential back then, otherwise, Mo Wuji might have been killed by the Dong Family long ago. How would he have the chance to stand here?
...
"Is that Mo Wuji? Am I seeing things?" Han Ning, standing in the plaza, rubbed her eyes vigorously, not daring to believe that Mo Wuji would be standing on the conference platform of the Hundred Sect Alliance and had directly eliminated Extreme Sword City.
Wasn't Mo Wuji just a small mortal pharmacist? It was already outrageous that he could come here, but he was actually here as the leader of a sect? What was going on?
Wen Manzhu, standing beside her, took a long breath and said in a tone that she couldn't even recognize, "Yes, that's Mo Wuji."
Although she didn't contact Mo Wuji after the fall of the Mo Family, she had been secretly paying attention to him. It wasn't because she liked Mo Wuji, but because she felt guilty and wanted to help him a little. However, Yan'er, Mo Wuji's maid, was extremely proud and would never accept anything from her, even when she was living in hardship with Mo Wuji.
So, as soon as Mo Wuji appeared in the middle of the conference platform, she recognized him.
Then both of them fell silent. They hadn't returned to Chengyu Lord Country and didn't know what Mo Wuji had done. But here, they both knew that Mo Wuji was in a different world from them now. That's right, they had always thought that Mo Wuji was in a different world from them, and now it was true. The only difference was that they thought they would be on the stage, and Mo Wuji would be watching from afar. Now, it was the opposite.
For Han Ning, she was silent because Mo Wuji had helped her so much, but she had abandoned Mo Wuji for the sake of the Han Family and her own interests.
For Wen Manzhu, it was the same, because of the fall of the Mo Family, she had taken the initiative to distance herself from the childhood friendship that she had with Mo Wuji.
In contrast, Qu Wan'er, standing further away, was just as shocked, but not surprised.
"This child has really soared to the sky, and he has become the leader of a sect." An old man standing beside Qu Wan'er sighed.
Qu Wan'er smiled and said, "Master, he is only a Profound Grade Sect Master."
"Even if it is a Profound Grade Sect, it is remarkable that he can take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Extreme Sword City. However, he was too impulsive in this matter. A Profound Grade Sect can be destroyed at any time, yet he dared to take such a big risk to do such a thing. He is still young and vigorous." The old man shook his head.
Qu Wan'er said, "Master, do you think that Alchemist Mo has ever done anything risky? I feel that many things he has done from the beginning to the present seem risky, but in fact, he will always be safe and sound."
The old man was stunned. Yes, wasn't that the case? Then he said, "Let's see how he faces the questioning of the Great 衍 Sect and Wentian School. Don't think this will be the end of it. A small Profound Grade Sect Master dares to disregard the experts here and stand up alone to announce the affairs of Extreme Sword City. This is already a kind of insubordination."
...
"Sect Master Mo, the matter of the Dong Family of Extreme Sword City is over. Now, is it time to talk about your Heavenly Mechanism Sect?" As expected, as Qu Wan'er's master predicted, after dealing with the matter of Extreme Sword City, Jiang Xiushan's gaze fell on Mo Wuji, his tone somewhat unkind.
Mo Wuji said neither humble nor arrogant, "My Heavenly Mechanism Sect exposed Extreme Sword City, which was originally for the sake of the safety of countless talented cultivators in my Lost Continent. I never thought of asking for any compensation. Sect Master Jiang doesn't need to be so polite."
After saying that, Mo Wuji unhesitatingly walked to the seat occupied by Zhuang Yan and sat down, while signaling Xing Huang and Jing Feilan to sit behind him.
Jiang Xiushan was extremely angry, how shameless! Reward? Reward your head.
What made him helpless was that this platform had a sound amplification array, and Mo Wuji's words would be directly transmitted to the entire Five Elements Domain City. If he couldn't find a good reason, he really couldn't deal with this Heavenly Mechanism Sect that didn't take the many Quasi-Heaven Grade Sects seriously.
"Sect Master Mo, the first row is for the great sects, those who have made great contributions to the Lost Continent in this extraterritorial war. Your Heavenly Mechanism Sect should sit in the back." Knowing that there was a sound amplification array, Jiang Xiushan suppressed his inner displeasure and softened his tone.
Mo Wuji stood up and looked at Jiang Xiushan calmly, "Sect Master Jiang, are you saying that my Heavenly Mechanism Sect has not made any contribution to the Lost Continent?"
