Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 215 Space within the Diseased Wood Plains
Mo Wuji was also delighted, not expecting to find news of Mo Xiangtong and Shiyi Niang here.
"That's right, I am Mo Wuji. Now can you take me to see Shiyi Niang and Aunt Xiangtong?" Mo Wuji said with a smile.
He didn't expect that after leaving, Shiyi Niang and the others would form a hunter team, and he even encountered a member of this team.
Confirming that Third Sister was indeed Mo Wuji's aunt, Hua Xuan's hands trembled with excitement. After a while, she calmed down, but didn't immediately answer Mo Wuji. Instead, she bent down, picked up the knight on the ground, and tossed him backward.
The knight's sturdy body was easily swung up by Hua Xuan, drawing an arc in the air before landing behind.
"Brother Mo, what I say can't be overheard, and this person can't be killed just yet. He knows where Second Sister is being held." Hua Xuan took a breath, finally calming her excitement. Although she called Xiangtong Third Sister, she wouldn't dare treat Mo Wuji as a junior.
"Leng Bei was captured?" Mo Wuji frowned. Jing Lengbei was someone he had rescued, and had a close relationship with Mo Xiangtong. The Jing family also had a life-saving grace towards Mo Xiangtong. Now that Jing Lengbei was captured, he naturally had to pay attention.
"It was Wuchang Wushuang who took her away." Hua Xuan said through gritted teeth, "Second Sister has a deep hatred for the Black-tailed Bee, and she is determined to take revenge. Eldest Sister, who originally wanted to leave, simply stayed to help Second Sister get revenge. Later, they felt their strength was too weak, so they formed the Three Beauties Hunters."
"Did they get their revenge?" Mo Wuji secretly praised them in his heart. Although Shiyi Niang was strong, the Black-tailed Bee was able to dominate a county, so he must be extraordinary. Forming a hunter team was the best way to deal with the Black-tailed Bee.
Hua Xuan nodded and then shook her head, "At first, we sealed off the Black-tailed Bee's lair and killed all the Black-tailed Bee bandits. The leader of the Black-tailed Bee bandits was nicknamed Poison Stinger, and I personally saw Second Sister kill him at the time. We looted the Black-tailed Bee's lair and obtained a large amount of wealth. The most important thing was a sea map."
"Is it the map of the immortal mansion in the sea that you mentioned earlier?" Mo Wuji asked.
Hua Xuan nodded, "Yes, after obtaining the immortal mansion sea map, Eldest Sister wanted to go to sea."
Mo Wuji's heart sank. He suspected that Shiyi Niang had gone to sea. No matter how strong Shiyi Niang was, she was just an ordinary martial cultivator. Going to sea with such strength was like courting death. He had seen the power of the sea, and he still remembered the six-legged thunder alligator vividly.
"Second Sister and I tried our best to dissuade her. We all knew that going to sea with our strength would be a dead end. But Eldest Sister was determined to go to sea to find the immortal mansion. She said that she had seen everything she needed to see in this life, and had done everything she needed to do. If she had this opportunity and didn't try it, she would never forgive herself when she died in the future." Hua Xuan's tone became lower and lower as she spoke.
"So Shiyi Niang went after all?" Mo Wuji had drunk and chatted with Shiyi Niang, so he naturally knew her character. Although she was a woman, she was actually more heroic than a man. Otherwise, Shiyi Niang wouldn't have given up the opportunity to go to Changluo and actively sent Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei instead.
Now Hua Xuan said that Shiyi Niang had actively stayed to form the Three Beauties Hunters to help Jing Lengbei get revenge. None of these things were what Shiyi Niang wanted to do herself; she was doing them all for her friends.
Hua Xuan nodded with a dejected expression, "Yes, Eldest Sister insisted on going, and we couldn't dissuade her. In the end, Third Sister wanted to go with Eldest Sister, and we couldn't dissuade them at all. Third Sister said that she had a sea of blood and deep hatred on her shoulders. If she could find an opportunity in the immortal mansion, she would be able to avenge herself in the future. If she died in the sea like this, she would have no regrets."
Mo Wuji sighed. He could understand Mo Xiangtong's desire to avenge the Mo family. In some ways, Mo Xiangtong's sense of belonging to the Mo family was even stronger than his own.
"Later, Second Sister also decided to go with Eldest Sister and Third Sister. Eldest Sister and Third Sister dissuaded Second Sister, saying that the Three Beauties Hunters had thousands of people seeking a livelihood. What would happen to the rest of the Three Beauties Hunters if the three of them left? Second Sister listened to the persuasion, and then I stayed to help Second Sister manage the Three Beauties Hunters..."
Hearing Hua Xuan's tone become a little choked up, Mo Wuji quickly asked, "Where are the rest of the Three Beauties Hunters?"
Hua Xuan shook her head, her tone even more low and painful, "Only nine of us are left in the Three Beauties Hunters. The rest are all gone..."
Mo Wuji's eyes turned cold, "Was it done by Wuchang Wushuang?"
Hua Xuan nodded, "Yes, at first we thought we had completely wiped out the Black-tailed Bee. After all, Poison Stinger was killed by Second Sister. Later, we learned that Poison Stinger was not dead at all. Second Sister killed a substitute. He escaped to Wuchang Wushuang's command and told Wuchang Wushuang about the sea map..."
"We were surrounded by Wuchang Wushuang's army that time. Second Sister fought to the death and was captured. She tried to commit suicide but failed... In the end, only thirty or so of us escaped. These thirty or so people fled all the way, and now there are only nine people left... I originally planned to go to sea to find Eldest Sister and Third Sister, but I didn't expect to be blocked. If it weren't for meeting Brother Mo, we..."
Without needing her to finish, Mo Wuji completely understood.
"When did Shiyi Niang and Xiangtong go to sea? How many people know about the sea map?" The killing intent in Mo Wuji's heart grew stronger.
Hua Xuan replied, "Only Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, and I know. The rest only know that there is a map that Wuchang Wushuang needs. I don't know how many people Poison Stinger told later. Eldest Sister and Third Sister have been at sea for more than three months."
"Okay, we'll go to Wuchang Wushuang's lair now." Mo Wuji decided to destroy Wuchang Wushuang first. Shiyi Niang and Xiangtong had been at sea for several months, and it would be difficult to find them.
"I'll force that person to tell us where Wuchang Wushuang's lair is..."
Hua Xuan said as she walked towards the only survivor, but Mo Wuji waved his hand, "No need, he just needs to lead the way."
Mo Wuji walked to the tall knight who had been tied up and thrown on the ground by Hua Xuan's companions, raised his hand, and tore off the ropes on his body, "Lead the way to your lair."
Mo Wuji's words were simple. If this knight dared to say half a word of disagreement, he would directly tear off one of his meridians until he agreed. He had created the means to open up and cultivate the meridians of a mortal root, so he was very familiar with the meridians of the human body.
Mo Wuji had experienced the pain of having his meridians torn apart, and it was simply inhuman torture, and he had endured it when the meridians were not completely broken. Once they were broken, the torture would be even more terrifying.
"Yes, junior obeys..." To Mo Wuji's surprise, he didn't need any means at all. With just one sentence, this seemingly burly guy directly agreed.
...
Led by this knight of Wuchang Wushuang, a group of eleven people galloped across the deserted Sick Wood Plains. Because of Mo Wuji's appearance, Hua Xuan abandoned their carriage, which was loaded with supplies for going to sea.
The Sick Wood Plains were vast, and everywhere looked the same, desolate and empty. An average person would get dizzy after running in this kind of place for half an hour. This knight who was leading the way obviously traveled in the Sick Wood Plains all year round, and he basically didn't stop to check the direction along the way.
The stamina of the beast-horses was far stronger than that of ordinary horses. The eleven people only rested for four hours in the middle, and then ran for two full days in the Sick Wood Plains before stopping in front of a huge rock. This huge rock was several zhang high and wide, and it looked like a small mountain.
"Why aren't you moving?" Mo Wuji's face darkened. If this person dared to fool him, he would not hesitate to tear apart all the meridians in his body.
The knight hurriedly said respectfully to Mo Wuji, "Senior, we have arrived."
"You're talking nonsense..." Hua Xuan reached behind her, and the trident appeared in her hand. The next moment, the trident was pointing at the knight's throat, "Do you think we're all idiots? There's nothing else in this place except a rock."
Mo Wuji didn't believe that this knight dared to trick him like this. He swept his divine will around and immediately noticed something wrong. There seemed to be traces of formations around the huge rock.
Before Mo Wuji could stop Hua Xuan, a cold voice came over, "You are indeed idiots. Besides this rock, there is also Wuchang Wushuang."
As the voice fell, the huge rock suddenly split open. A man in brocade clothes was standing in front of everyone. Behind him, hundreds of guards were standing on both sides.
Mo Wuji raised his eyebrows. It was indeed a large formation. This concealment formation was so exquisitely arranged that even he couldn't see it through in a hurry, let alone arrange it himself. From this, it could be seen that this concealment formation was at least an intermediate-level formation. Although this concealment formation was exquisite, it wasn't enough to shock Mo Wuji too much. What really shocked him was the space formation here.
After the huge rock was opened, it was like a new world inside. The flowers were fragrant, the birds were singing, and everything was full of life, looking much more beautiful than the Sick Wood Plains outside.
Mo Wuji quickly understood that the reason why the Sick Wood Plains were full of messy weeds and everything looked lifeless was not because the place was not suitable for growing plants, but because the growing nutrients here had been absorbed by the space inside the concealment formation.
If he could still see through a thing or two about the concealment formation, then he couldn't understand anything about this space formation. He even suspected that even if Chu Xingzi came here, he might not be able to arrange such a large-scale space formation, concealing the real space under a huge rock.
As for Hua Xuan and the others, they were completely dumbfounded. They stared blankly at everything in front of them, as if they were dreaming.
After the rock was broken open, it was actually a bluestone road that was several zhang wide. On both sides of the bluestone road, greenery was lush, and small rivers flowed. Some wild animals were running around, this was simply a paradise.
Hua Xuan opened her mouth wide. Behind this rock was clearly the same empty wilderness of the Sick Wood Plains, how could so many people and such a beautiful scene suddenly appear?
"Lord Wuchang..." The knight who led the way quickly stepped forward. He only said four words before a ray of light flashed across his neck. A stream of blood shot up, and his head rolled to the ground. This guy named Wuchang directly killed the knight.
It was indeed a cultivator, Mo Wuji saw clearly.
