Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 202 You're Right

Xue Tongsi hesitated for a moment before saying, "He has dark skin and a scar on his face, dressed as a Confucian scholar... When I saw him, he was covered in wounds, barely a good spot left. To save Yan'er, he was even pierced through the right chest by that extra-territorial True Lake cultivator..."

The reason for her hesitation was that Xue Tongsi wasn't sure if Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705. After all, she was just guessing.

Regardless, after hearing Xue Tongsi's words, all the cultivators on the tenth floor were filled with respect. They all imagined the situation she described. They could imagine that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was able to get so many points, not by overwhelming power, but by risking his life.

"I think he earned so many points with his life..." Xue Tongsi's final sentence finally won almost everyone's admiration for Rogue Cultivator 2705.

"His points were earned with his life. I, Liu Man, want to learn from him," a robust male cultivator said passionately after a long silence.

"That's right. We chose the path of cultivation. Now that extraterritorial cultivators are invading our home, what face do we have to continue cultivating on this land if we don't fight with our lives? Even a rogue cultivator can do this. Why can't disciples from large sects do the same?"

"We cultivators should act like that. That rogue cultivator could risk his life to save people and to kill extraterritorial cultivators. Compared to this Rogue Cultivator 2705, I am ashamed."

"If he is truly a Mortal Shedding cultivator, I think Rogue Cultivator 2705 is even more worthy of my admiration. Compared to Senior Brother Xi Yixuan, who is ranked first on the Contribution Board, and Senior Brothers Feng Luojian and Gou Zihan, who are ranked second and third, his blood is hotter."

...

A pale-faced scholar sitting in the corner of the tenth floor was dumbfounded when he heard the discussions. He hadn't expected his fame to reach such heights. In fact, ever since he entered Yin Capital City, he had been hearing discussions about Rogue Cultivator 2705.

This pale-faced scholar was none other than Mo Wuji. After leaving the Thunder Fog Forest, Mo Wuji spent more than a month healing before he recovered. He didn't want to deal with that old woman Shi Jinwen, so he simply changed his Confucian scholar appearance to that of a scholar.

He also admired Xue Tongsi for guessing that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705.

Mo Wuji came here not to earn more points, but because after his injuries recovered, his strength made no progress. After cultivating in seclusion for a month, he was still only at the first layer of the Mortal Shedding Realm. Even with Heavenly grade spirit stones, he couldn't advance his cultivation any further.

Mo Wuji stopped cultivating. He believed that the main reason his cultivation was stagnant was that there was a problem with his cultivation technique. His Immortal Mortal Technique was unable to continue to improve his cultivation after entering the Mortal Shedding Realm.

Another point was that he didn't know enough about the Mortal Shedding Realm.

That's why Mo Wuji wanted to come to Yin Capital and use his contribution points to exchange for cultivation techniques. In his opinion, the Hundred Sect Alliance was a union of thousands of sects. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a successor technique for the Immortal Mortal Technique.

"Hou, even if you escape to the ends of the earth today, my Lei Clan will not let you go..." Hurried footsteps and angry curses interrupted the people on the tenth floor who were still discussing Rogue Cultivator 2705.

Then five or six people rushed up. At the front was a young man with disheveled hair and blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth. Behind him were five young cultivators, including a woman.

The five people surrounded the young man in a corner. A look of despair flashed in the young man's eyes. He knew he had nowhere to go.

Mo Wuji looked at the young man with blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, puzzled. He felt that this person was somewhat familiar.

Seeing the many cultivators staring at them in the hall on the tenth floor, one of the five people who rushed up cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, this humble one is Lei Chenghe from the Yulin Lei Clan. This man is called Hou Yucheng. He was injured and fled during the battle with the extraterritorial cultivators in the Thunder Fog Forest. My Lei family saw that he was injured fighting for the Five Great Empires, so we tried our best to save him. We never expected this person to be a beast in disguise. After his injuries healed, he actually defiled my Lei family Hongji's fiancée, Xiujie..."

"Lei Hongji? Is that the number one genius disciple of the Grand Evolution Sect, the Lei Hongji with the top-grade Thunder spiritual root?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Lei Chenghe cupped his fists around him and said, "That's right. Hongji was fortunate enough to join the Grand Evolution Sect and was valued by the Grand Evolution Sect. He is already one of the top ten true disciples of the Grand Evolution Sect."

Mo Wuji suddenly realized when he heard that the cultivator with blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth was Hou Yucheng. No wonder he felt somewhat familiar. It turned out to be Hou Yucheng.

He also understood why Hou Yucheng couldn't use his sect to suppress the Yulin Lei Clan. It turned out that the Lei family had a Lei Hongji who had joined the Grand Evolution Sect and was one of the top ten true disciples of the Grand Evolution Sect. Although Hou Yucheng was also an inner disciple of the Questioning Heaven Academy, he was only a barely qualified inner disciple. After all, he had obtained it with a True God Flower. It wasn't that his aptitude had met the requirements of an inner disciple of the Questioning Heaven Academy.

Hou Yucheng pursed his lips and didn't bother to say a word. Or rather, he knew that nothing he said would be of any use.

Seeing the many cultivators show respectful gazes, Lei Chenghe said even louder, "This person is ungrateful and after defiling Xiujie, he killed her to silence her, cruelly killing Xiujie. Not only that, because Xiujie's mother and sister saw what he had done, he defiled Xiujie's sister and mother, and then killed them again... Such actions are outrageous..."

When Lei Chenghe said this, many cultivators were filled with righteous indignation. What Hou Yucheng had done was truly against the natural order. Cultivators valued clear gratitude and grudges. Very few cultivators would do such an ungrateful thing.

Lei Chenghe didn't end there. His tone became even more furious as he said, "Later, I found out that he was originally a demon spawn from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Today, I don't need everyone's help. I only hope that when this scum escapes, everyone can help stop him."

"Don't worry. Even if Brother Lei doesn't say so, we won't let this kind of scum escape," someone in the crowd immediately echoed.

Mo Wuji frowned slightly. He didn't know Hou Yucheng's character very well, but he was sure of one thing. Hou Yucheng was definitely not the kind of person who would commit rape and murder, let alone do such a thing to his savior. With Hou Yucheng's handsome and dashing appearance, why would he do such a strange thing? He could have any woman he wanted.

Mo Wuji also knew about the Yulin Lei Clan. During the auction, he and the Yulin Lei Clan competed for the Seven Styles of Heavenly Thunder. The guy who appeared at the time was called Lei Mang. From Lei Mang's arrogant words at the auction, Mo Wuji knew that he wasn't a good person. Now that this Lei Chenghe was also from the Lei Clan, they were probably all from the same pot.

Hou Yucheng suddenly laughed and raised his hand to tear off his mask, revealing his handsome face. "Your Lei Clan's deception is not the first time. Your Lei Clan would save me, Hou Yucheng? Bah! Your Lei Clan knows why you framed me. I, Hou, have a clear conscience. Even if your Lei Clan kills me today, I will have brothers to avenge me."

"Hou, stop trying to gild your own face. In Heavenly Demon City outside the Heavenly Demon Sect, you had many friends and brothers, right? Why didn't a single one stand up to speak for you? I'll tell you today. It's because what you did was so inhumane that even the people in your sect couldn't stand it..."

After Lei Chenghe finished speaking, he directly waved his hand. "Go up and take this person to Xiujie's grave to pay tribute..."

The reason he hadn't acted until now was that Lei Chenghe felt that he had said enough. Saying any more would be excessive.

Hou Yucheng stopped talking and a folding fan appeared in his hand. Even knowing that he was no match, he had to fight once.

"Let's see who dares to act?" A voice filled with murderous intent rang out.

Everyone turned their gazes to the corner where the voice came from. A slightly pale-faced scholar stood up.

Lei Chenghe, who was startled, was relieved after seeing that there was no spiritual aura around Mo Wuji. He immediately said with disdain, "Anyone who dares to stop my Yulin Lei Clan from seeking revenge will be killed without mercy. A mere ant dares to stand up and speak for a demon spawn. Are you tired of living? Do you think you're that Rogue Cultivator 2705? Kill..."

When Lei Chenghe said the word "kill", a Azure Dragon long saber had already been summoned by him.

Mo Wuji stared calmly at Lei Chenghe and said, "You're right, I am Rogue Cultivator 2705."
