Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 191 Old Acquaintances from the Star Han Empire
"Okay." Mo Wuji agreed without hesitation. Even if Cen Shuyin didn't invite him, he would have actively requested to go with Cen Shuyin to register for the contribution points card.
Although he was a disciple of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, he didn't even know if an outer disciple could have a say. With Cen Shuyin, a true disciple, going, it was practically like an elder of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect.
"And this is for you." Cen Shuyin said, handing the flying car in her hand to Mo Wuji, "This flying car was left to me by my master. If you ever want to sell it, please look for me."
"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Cen. If I ever want to sell this flying car, I will definitely return it to Senior Sister Cen." Mo Wuji said, putting away the flying car.
He exchanged this flying car with a cultivation technique, so there was no need to be polite. From a certain perspective, the value of the first move of the Seven Thunder Styles was definitely more valuable than a low-grade spiritual weapon flying car.
...
Cen Shuyin said that An Yang was the second largest capital city in the Xinghan Empire, second only to Changluo. After Mo Wuji entered An Yang, he felt that it was far inferior to Changluo. Whether it was the degree of prosperity or the sense of historical weight, it was far inferior to Changluo.
Upon entering An Yang City, the most eye-catching thing was a large square.
Under normal circumstances, mortal capitals rarely build a large square at the entrance of the capital. This square in An Yang was not only large, but it had also not been built for very long.
The square and the surrounding areas were filled with cultivators, with very few mortals.
In the very center of the square, two tall stone tablets stood erect. The base stone under the left stone tablet was inscribed with the words "Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Ranking." The stone tablet was filled with names. Mo Wuji subconsciously focused his gaze on the first name, a cultivator named Xi Yixuan, with a score of 12251 points.
Mo Wuji was familiar with the second name, Feng Luojian, with a score of 9921 points. Mo Wuji had seen this guy on the Heaven Asking Stairs Ranking in the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, and he seemed to be ranked second there as well.
Mo Wuji was still familiar with the third name, Gou Zihan, with a score of 8672 points. This guy was the first on the Heaven Asking Stairs Ranking in the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, but he had been relegated to third place here.
Where did this guy named Xi Yixuan come from? If he was from the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, why hadn't he seen him on the Heaven Asking Stairs?
"I've seen this person Xi Yixuan. He's a true disciple of the Dayanzong of the Qianyang Empire. The Heaven Asking Sword Sect even invited him to join the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, but he refused. He said that the Heaven Asking Sword Sect couldn't teach him anything, and he didn't need to go to the Heaven Asking Sword Sect." Cen Shuyin also saw the ranking list and sighed on the side.
She might be thinking in her heart that Xi Yixuan's arrogance was justified. Even if he didn't join the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, he was still the first on the Hundred Sect Alliance Ranking.
"It seems that this Dayanzong is very remarkable." Mo Wuji also sighed.
Cen Shuyin explained, "All the genius disciples of the five great empires will definitely join the Heaven Asking Sword Sect. There is only one exception, and that is the Dayanzong. It is rumored that the number of True God Realm experts in the Dayanzong is no less than that in the Heaven Asking Sword Sect. I don't know if it's true or not."
Mo Wuji thought to himself that it was probably true. This Xi Yixuan could occupy the first place and exceed the second place by so many points, it was definitely not a fluke.
His gaze fell on the right stone tablet. The base stone under the right stone tablet was inscribed with the words "Five Great Empires Sect Contribution Ranking."
When Mo Wuji saw this contribution ranking, he was almost certain that the first place would be the Heaven Asking Sword Sect. When he actually saw the sect ranked first, he exclaimed in surprise. The sect ranked first was not the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, but the Dayanzong. The Heaven Asking Sword Sect was ranked second. This Dayanzong had some tricks up its sleeve, occupying the first place on both rankings.
Cen Shuyin naturally heard Mo Wuji's surprised exclamation and said calmly, "The Dayanzong may be the most powerful sect after the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, but it is still far from replacing the Heaven Asking Sword Sect. The reason why the Dayanzong can be ranked first is because, in the beginning, the Heaven Asking Sword Sect did not send out more true disciples and inner disciples. As long as it doesn't take a month, this ranking will change."
Mo Wuji didn't quite agree with her. He didn't refute Cen Shuyin on the spot. He was also a member of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, so he couldn't say that the Heaven Asking Sword Sect was not good.
"Senior Sister Cen, how are these points calculated? Are there so many extraterritorial cultivators killed with more than ten thousand points?" Mo Wuji asked casually.
Cen Shuyin nodded, "After the extraterritorial cultivators settled down in the five great empires, there was a constant stream of spaceships sending people over. I heard that they also established extraterritorial teleportation arrays. I think, the number of cultivators who died in the five great empires should be even greater."
Mo Wuji fell silent. When he was seeking contribution points, he might also become someone else's contribution points.
"May I ask if you two are immortal masters from the Heaven Asking Sword Sect?" Just as Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin were still looking at the contribution point rankings, a middle-aged man wearing red official robes walked over and asked very respectfully and politely.
Cen Shuyin replied, "That's right, we are disciples of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect."
"Thank you very much for the visit of the two immortal masters to the Xinghan Empire. My Xinghe Emperor is hosting a banquet for all the immortal masters. Upon learning that the immortal masters from the Heaven Asking Sword Sect had arrived, he specially invited you." This red-robed middle-aged man was obviously an ordinary mortal, and his words were extremely respectful and polite.
Cen Shuyin nodded, "Then lead the way."
Although she was cold and indifferent, she was not unreasonable. The Emperor of the Xinghan Empire was, after all, the master of a great empire. She might have to live here often in the future, so she had to give him some face.
Mo Wuji naturally would not say much. He wanted to follow behind Cen Shuyin to apply for an identity jade token so that he could use it for points.
The two followed the red-robed official through the square and walked along a wide bluestone avenue before entering a magnificent and spacious hall.
Although this was only the temporary palace of the Xinghan Empire, it was still much wider and more majestic than the palace of the Chengyu Lord's Kingdom.
"Please enter, two immortal masters." The red-robed official said, bowing and standing outside after leading Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin to the entrance of the hall.
Cen Shuyin immediately walked in. As a true disciple of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, she was treated with the highest level of respect wherever she went. She was already used to this.
The hall was filled with people on both sides, each with a table setting in front of them.
"Haha, welcome to the two genius disciples of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect to the alliance base of my Xinghan Empire." A hearty laugh came, and Mo Wuji saw a strong man in yellow standing up from the seat at the end of the hall.
Mo Wuji was thinking that this person should be the Emperor of the Xinghan Empire when Cen Shuyin cupped her fists and saluted, "Cen Shuyin, a disciple of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, greets the Emperor."
Cui Qianjun, the Emperor of the Xinghan Empire, was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, the disciples of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect would not be so rude. When greeting him, they would usually take the initiative to announce which Dao lineage they belonged to in the Heaven Asking Sword Sect and what the identity of the disciple was.
Cen Shuyin actually only said a sentence about being a disciple of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, which seemed a little impolite. Fortunately, he already knew who Cen Shuyin was. She was the number one beauty of the five great empires, a true disciple of the Sword Lake of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, a famous figure.
Mo Wuji also cupped his fists and said, "Mo Wuji of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, greets the Emperor..."
As soon as Mo Wuji finished speaking, his gaze fell on a person. Among the people in this room, he actually recognized one.
"You two don't need to be so polite, please take your seats. Someone, add seats." Cui Qianjun waved his hand enthusiastically and ordered. The title of Emperor was very grand, but in the eyes of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, it was really nothing. He dared not have any objections to Cen Shuyin and Mo Wuji's brief greetings.
Two seats were quickly added, and the positions were very forward, almost in the top three. This showed how high the status of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect was.
Cen Shuyin was just about to ask about Ni Nan, the person in charge of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect here, when she saw Mo Wuji walking directly to a seat at the back.
"Your Majesty, we meet again." Mo Wuji said with a chuckle, standing in front of a spiritless, beardless man.
The man looked as if he had seen a ghost when he saw Mo Wuji coming over. In fact, from the moment Mo Wuji stepped into this hall, he seemed to have seen a ghost.
"Pharmacist Mo, I really didn't expect... to see you here..." The white-faced, beardless man quickly stood up, his tone stammering.
Mo Wuji chuckled, "We'll meet sooner or later. Even if we don't meet here, I'll go to the Lord's Mansion in Raozhou City to see you."
Cui Qianjun saw Mo Wuji talking to a lord of a Lord's Kingdom and said with a chuckle, "So, Dao Friend Mo and Lord Situ Qian of the Chengyu Lord's Kingdom are old acquaintances. This is a good thing, a good thing..."
Mo Wuji cupped his fist at Cui Qianjun and said, "Your Majesty is right, Lord and I are indeed old acquaintances. My ancestors were originally a County King under the Xinghan Empire, the County being Bei Qin. Many years ago, my grandfather, Mo Tiancheng, the County Lord of Bei Qin, went to Raozhou, but he disappeared. Then my father, Mo Guangyuan, went to Raozhou to find the County King of Bei Qin and requested Lord Situ to transfer the Bei Qin County to the Mo family..."
Speaking of this, Mo Wuji deliberately paused before continuing, "Fellow Daoists, Your Majesties, I don't know if this request of my Mo family is too much?"
Most people here could tell that Mo Wuji seemed to be looking for trouble with Situ Qian, but Mo Wuji was now a disciple of the Heaven Asking Sword Sect, and no one dared to speak up to help Situ Qian.
Cui Qianjun, the Emperor of the Xinghan Empire, also understood Mo Wuji's meaning, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "The position of County King has always been passed down from father to son. How can it be said to be excessive?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for speaking frankly, but Lord Situ completely ignored my Mo family's request and directly handed over the position of Lord of Bei Qin County to someone else. That's not all, he also wiped out all the members of my Mo family, detained my father and me in Raozhou City, until we died of poverty and illness, and drove me crazy."
After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he stared coldly at Situ Qian. He knew that the Mo family was not directly destroyed by Situ Qian, but he temporarily blamed Situ Qian for this debt. After finding trouble with Situ Qian, he would find the guy who occupied the Bei Qin County Kingdom.
