Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 587 Another Cultivator
Before Qian Zhicheng could answer, someone exclaimed, “Someone is walking in the air.”
Sure enough, a gray-faced man holding a horsetail whisk descended from the void. His gaze swept disdainfully over the dense ranks of besieging soldiers.
In his opinion, no matter how many there were, these soldiers were just ants.
However, when his gaze landed on the long sword in Qian Zhicheng's hand, his eyes suddenly narrowed. Immediately, he strode towards Qian Zhicheng in the void, while reaching out to grab the long sword in Qian Zhicheng's hand.
If Qian Zhicheng hadn't experienced months of great battles, he would really have been frightened by this kind of tactic. After months of great battles, Qian Zhicheng’s confidence had long been established. Seeing the man stride through the void, he quickly offered up the long sword in his hand.
Even so, his speed was unbelievably slow. By the time the man reached him, his long sword had barely been unsheathed.
The long sword transformed into a beam of white light, directly stabbing towards this gray-faced man.
The horsetail whisk in the gray-faced man's hand stirred up countless horsetail strands, which formed wave-like shapes in front of the long sword.
A series of 'cha cha' sounds came from the void, and the wave-like horsetail strands were constantly being torn apart. The gray-faced man in the void retreated rapidly in shock. By the time he retreated outside Mitch City, his horsetail strands had finally blocked the sword light from the long sword. The long sword flew back and landed in Qian Zhicheng's hand once again.
Despite having the upper hand, Qian Zhicheng was shocked. Since the beginning of the campaign, this was the first time he had encountered someone that his long sword could not kill.
“I didn’t expect that a cultivator’s magic weapon would fall into this place. Not only is it so powerful, but you can even activate it…” The gray-faced man did not continue to attack, but just said coldly.
Perhaps the long sword in Qian Zhicheng's hand was an extraordinary magic weapon, but he was not in a hurry. On this planet, nothing that he, Hong Guang, wanted had ever been prevented from him.
“Bin Lanxi greets Venerable Master Hong Guang!” Bin Lanxi, with his fair skin, had already strode out and bowed respectfully.
If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that the leader of the Simon Church would be so respectful to an ordinary man. No one knew that above the Simon Church’s leader, there was still a real person.
Fortunately, this Real Person Hong Guang never interfered in the affairs of the Simon Church. He was only concerned with whether it could help him find enough of what he needed.
Hong Guang, his face gray, nodded. “You indeed have a reason to be afraid. If you hadn’t called me, perhaps your head would soon be hanging on the walls of Mitch City.”
Bin Lanxi's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the Real Person Hong Guang before him was not a good person. But he was very clear that Hong Guang would not lie about this.
“Thank you, Venerable Master, for saving my life!” Bin Lanxi quickly thanked him again, his eyes full of respect and sincerity.
Hong Guang nodded. “I'll take a look at that sword…”
After saying that, Hong Guang strode out again, and once again reached out to grab the long sword in Qian Zhicheng’s hand. He had already seen the situation. Besides this long sword being somewhat powerful, Qian Zhicheng himself wasn’t even as good as a magus.
When the first sword failed to kill Hong Guang, Qian Zhicheng’s heart sank. He was able to lead his army here because of the long sword in his hand. Now that his long sword could not kill the opponent, it meant that he would die without a burial place.
When Hong Guang grabbed over the second time, Qian Zhicheng didn’t even have time to offer up the long sword in his hand before the opponent's palm had already arrived in front of him.
"Crack!" A subtle sound, almost inaudible to the average person, rang out. Then, Qian Zhicheng felt his hand loosen, and his long sword had been lost.
“Huh!” Hong Guang was not as flustered the second time as he had been the first time. He directly took away Qian Zhicheng’s long sword. However, he was not delighted, but more surprised.
Around Qian Zhicheng's body, there was actually a faint layer of magical energy protection. What kind of person was this, to have such great power, to leave a layer of protection around an ordinary person that would not dissipate for a long time? At least, he didn't have such great power.
If there really was such a strong person standing behind Qian Zhicheng, this place probably couldn't be stayed in for long. In any case, before things were clear, he, Hong Guang, wouldn't just leave like this. Tianwu Star was a planet he had carefully chosen, and it would be a pity to lose it without figuring things out.
……
Even though the Pan siblings and Lou Yueshuang were all exceptionally intelligent and had first-class aptitude, Mo Wuji still taught them continuously for nearly five months. As for how much each person could comprehend, that was beyond his control.
Fortunately, no matter how much they could comprehend, at least on this planet, the three of them could protect themselves. As for the three of them passing on his cultivation techniques, Mo Wuji wasn't worried. This place lacked spiritual energy, and the spirit stones, low-grade immortal crystals, and pills he gave could only provide enough for each person to cultivate to the Earth Immortal realm.
Even if they passed on the cultivation techniques, they still wouldn't be able to cultivate if they didn't leave this planet. Relying on the weak spiritual energy in demonic yuan stones, they probably wouldn't achieve anything even after cultivating for hundreds of years.
After the Pan siblings and Lou Yueshuang successively entered closed-door cultivation, Mo Wuji also prepared to enter closed-door cultivation himself. There was still a broken soul in his Undying World. Besides that, he also wanted to study the Pan clan's inherited cultivation technique.
Just at this moment, he sensed that the trace of protective magical energy he had left on Qian Zhicheng had been shattered.
In Mo Wuji's view, the strongest person on Tianwu Star was only about as strong as the leader of the Eastern Mo Church, Wu Dian. Mo Wuji was certain that even Wu Dian could not easily break his protective magical energy. Now that Wu Dian had been killed by him, there was actually someone who could break his protective magical energy shield.
Immediately, he sensed that the long sword was no longer on Qian Zhicheng. Mo Wuji, who had originally planned to enter closed-door cultivation, stood up and disappeared from Anjin City in one step.
……
“Leader Bin, you can go kill people. But send that guy with the long sword here. I'll be waiting for you at my residence.” After Hong Guang finished speaking, he turned to leave.
He was going to study the restrictions and magical energy in this long sword to see who had left them behind. Was it left behind by ancient ruins, or had someone really come to Tianwu Star like him.
“There’s no need for you to go anywhere.” Mo Wuji's gentle voice came over, and Hong Guang suddenly turned around.
“Who is this fellow Daoist?” Seeing Mo Wuji arrive here silently, Hong Guang’s scalp tingled a bit. He suspected that Mo Wuji’s strength was much stronger than his. Mo Wuji had arrived here, but with his strength, he hadn't sensed any spatial fluctuations.
Soon, he wouldn't have to doubt anymore. Mo Wuji stretched out his hand, without even using any spells. The long sword that was originally still in his hand flew out again and landed in Mo Wuji's hand.
“Senior…” Hong Guang’s gray face turned pale. He regretted getting involved in this mess. A cultivator had really come here, and such a powerful one at that.
Mo Wuji threw the long sword back to Qian Zhicheng again. “Continue doing what you were doing. I'll be leaving soon. You're a little slow.”
The instant the long sword was taken away by Hong Guang, Qian Zhicheng’s heart turned to ashes. He knew that without the long sword, no matter how many people he brought, they would all be dust before the Simon Church.
Mo Wuji suddenly appeared and then threw the long sword to him, making him thoroughly understand what it meant to be saved from a desperate situation. What explanation for being saved from a desperate situation could be more fitting than him right now?
“Yes, sir.” Qian Zhicheng bowed respectfully, overjoyed.
“Greetings, sir.” The many leaders around Qian Zhicheng bowed respectfully. They had already vaguely known that there was a super strong person behind Qian Zhicheng. Now that this super strong person had appeared, who would dare be negligent?
Bin Lanxi actually rushed over and bowed deeply to Mo Wuji. “Bin Lanxi greets Venerable Master…”
Mo Wuji had already gained some understanding of demonic yuan. At this moment, when Bin Lanxi bowed respectfully, he actually sensed that Bin Lanxi's strength was far stronger than the Wu Dian he had killed.
However, this person's whole body was cold and menacing, with a faint aura of death. This aura of death was not Bin Lanxi's own, but rather the result of him killing too many people. More importantly, he killed people without asking for a reason, purely out of impulse. This was what caused this deathly baleful aura.
Mo Wuji was too lazy to even ask about this kind of guy, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out a wind blade.
Even though Mo Wuji casually sent out this wind blade, he never expected that Bin Lanxi could dodge it. In fact, Bin Lanxi really did dodge it, and this wind blade only took away one of Bin Lanxi's arms.
Bin Lanxi's skin was already extremely white, but now that Mo Wuji had chopped off his arm, his face was even whiter than a blank sheet of paper. Even so, he still raised his head and looked at Mo Wuji, saying, “Venerable Master, Hong Guang has always wanted to plot against Tianwu Star. The reason I founded the Simon Church was to one day be able to stop…”
"Pfft!" Mo Wuji raised his hand and swept out another blade of light, and several fingers on Bin Lanxi's other hand disappeared.
“If that's the only reason, then there's no need to say anything more.” Mo Wuji would never spare this kind of person, with their deathly baleful aura. He wouldn't even frown at the thought of letting this kind of person kill everyone on an innocent planet.
“Venerable Master, I also know of a fire-attribute planet that is not very far from our Tianwu Star. There is an unparalleled treasure there…” Bin Lanxi said almost without any hesitation.
Hearing these words, Hong Guang’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Bin Lanxi to be so deeply hidden. The reason he wanted to refine Tianwu Star was for the fire-attribute planet that Bin Lanxi spoke of. He had previously thought that he was the only one who knew about that planet, but he hadn't expected that a small leader would actually know about a fire-attribute planet outside of Tianwu Star.
In fact, after realizing that Mo Wuji's strength was far greater than his own, Hong Guang was thinking about how to save his life. Now that his biggest secret had been revealed by Bin Lanxi, how could he be willing to accept it? He quickly said, “Senior, I know of a place where there is a Fire Origin Bead…”
The three words "Fire Origin Bead" made Mo Wuji's heart skip a beat.
