Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 171: Intercept and Kill
The mission hall of the Questioning Heaven Academy was much more impressive than the Traceless Sword Sect. Here, various missions were displayed on huge array screens, and the difficulty levels of the missions and the corresponding contribution points were all clear at a glance.
Soon, Mo Wuji saw the missions related to the Lost Heaven Ruins. There were various tasks for collecting spiritual herbs and ores, and even missions for collecting maps of the Lost Heaven Ruins. Mo Wuji was puzzled that he didn't see any Sky Meridian Flowers. Could it be that Cen Shuyin was deliberately deceiving him to obtain his Thunder Tempering Technique?
However, Mo Wuji quickly dismissed the possibility of Cen Shuyin deceiving him. Cen Shuyin spoke with great certainty, not like she was making it up on the spur of the moment.
"Looking for teammates to go to the Lost Heaven Ruins. Cultivation level must be no lower than the seventh level of the Spiritual Building Realm. Team meeting location: Room 31 on the second floor."
"Going to the Lost Heaven Ruins, still missing one person. Cultivation level requirement: at least the first level of the Transcending Mortal Realm..."
"Lost Heaven Ruins team, cultivation level must be no higher than the fourth level of the Spiritual Building Realm. Address: Room 64 on the second floor."
...
Mo Wuji checked all the information about forming teams to go to the Lost Heaven Ruins and finally settled on Room 64. His cultivation level was the Meridian Opening Realm, so it was definitely not higher than the fourth level of the Spiritual Building Realm. Moreover, this team required everyone to be below the fourth level of the Spiritual Building Realm, which meant that the overall cultivation level of this team was not very high, making it safer for him.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to go to the second floor, a figure rushed into the mission hall. Soon, he saw Mo Wuji, who was looking at the mission array screen.
"Senior Brother Mo, your residence has been sealed off. There are two Transcending Mortal Realm experts openly guarding your residence, just waiting for you to return..." This figure walked up to Mo Wuji and said urgently before quickly leaving.
Mo Wuji recognized him from his back as Chao Buheng, the one who came to warn him. A feeling of gratitude arose in his heart. If Chao Buheng hadn't come to warn him, he would have fallen directly into the hands of two Transcending Mortal Realm experts if he had returned.
It was indeed forbidden to kill each other in the Questioning Heaven Academy, but there was no rule against private duels. Every year, countless disciples were injured or crippled in such duels. However, these duels were usually between those of the same level.
Mo Wuji deeply felt the sorrow of having a low cultivation level. He really thought that these kinds of disputes between disciples would only be resolved through challenges, so he didn't take it seriously because he didn't severely injure those inner sect disciples. All he needed to do was be careful when leaving the Questioning Heaven Academy. In fact, the method of challenging those of the same level was very common in the Questioning Heaven Academy. In terms of challenges, he really didn't fear anyone of the same level.
He didn't expect this kid to be so ruthless, actually calling Transcending Mortal Realm experts to destroy him. It seemed that he was too naive and had overestimated the Questioning Heaven Academy. If he, an outer sect disciple, was beaten to the brink of death by someone with a much higher cultivation level, even to the point of having all his meridians broken, who could he turn to? He guessed that no one in the Questioning Heaven Academy would stand up for him.
Mo Wuji didn't continue to go to Room 64. Finding people to form a team would take at least an hour or two.
If Cen Shuyin could find him before, those who wanted to cause trouble for him could also find him now. After understanding that the situation was much more cruel than he had anticipated, he really couldn't afford to delay.
Mo Wuji turned around and left. He left the mission hall as quickly as possible. Could it be that he couldn't go to the Lost Heaven Ruins without joining a team?
After leaving the sect, Mo Wuji increased his speed. He planned to go to Questioning Heaven City first and then to the Lost Heaven Ruins. A place like the Lost Heaven Ruins must have access from Questioning Heaven City.
Questioning Heaven City was the closest cultivation city to the Questioning Heaven Academy. Generally, those with fast footwork could reach it in just two hours.
...
"Huh? How did this person come out unscathed?" Outside the Questioning Heaven Academy, a young man in brocade clothes stared at Mo Wuji's back in surprise.
"Young Master, who is this person?" Standing beside the young man in brocade clothes were two sturdy young men. The one who spoke was one of them.
The young man in brocade clothes said through gritted teeth, "It's that bastard who snatched my seat in the Transmission Hall and slapped me in the face. I asked people to ambush him at his residence in the Outer Sect Peak's Ding District, intending to extract all his bone marrow and tear apart all his spiritual meridians. I didn't expect that before I could check the results, this ant actually left the Questioning Heaven Academy. Those two wastes..."
"Then isn't it even better that he left the sect? We can kill him now," said another man beside the young man in brocade clothes immediately.
The young man in brocade clothes frowned slightly, hesitating. Mo Wuji's words still echoed in his ears, and he could even feel the burning pain on his face. Because he was afraid of Mo Wuji, he had called two Transcending Mortal Realm experts to deal with him.
"This person should have entered the Spiritual Building Realm, most likely at the first level..." The young man in brocade clothes' tone was hesitant. He really wanted to call back the two Transcending Mortal Realm experts who were ambushing outside the Outer Sect Peak. However, this round trip would take too much time. What if this guy got lost?
The young man standing on the right side of the young man in brocade clothes chuckled and said, "Young Master is too generous with his praise. Jian Wei and I are both at the fourth level of the Spiritual Building Realm. If the three of us can't kill a mere disciple from the Outer Sect Peak, it would be too laughable. Just now, that person had almost no spiritual aura around him. Even if he barely reached the Spiritual Building Realm, he's just trash. Just think about it, he can only live in the Ding District of the Outer Sect Peak."
The young man called Lu Sa also rubbed his hands and said, "Young Master, Jian Wei is right. The three of us can't even kill a trash outer sect disciple. We're too weak. Moreover, we've already left the Questioning Heaven Academy, so..."
After saying that, Lu Sa made a wiping motion on his neck with his hand.
Perhaps he felt that what the two people beside him said was right, the young man in brocade clothes finally nodded. "Okay, chase after him now and kill him. I won't feel good until I kill this ant. Damn it, he dared to take my seat and slap me in the face in public."
...
The distance between the Questioning Heaven Academy and Questioning Heaven City was not far. If you took a flying beast carriage in the Questioning Heaven Academy, it would take less than half an incense stick to arrive at Questioning Heaven City.
Mo Wuji didn't want to alarm anyone, so he left the Questioning Heaven Academy silently. There were three roads from Questioning Heaven City to the Questioning Heaven Academy. Mo Wuji didn't want to be seen by more people, so he chose the most remote one. What he didn't expect was that as soon as he left the Questioning Heaven Academy, he was discovered by the young man who wanted to take revenge on him.
After walking for half an hour, Mo Wuji felt that something was wrong. He seemed to sense a trace of killing intent.
"Not bad, kid, you're quite alert." After Mo Wuji stopped, three figures rushed out from the side path and blocked Mo Wuji in the middle.
This place was right between the Questioning Heaven Academy and Questioning Heaven City. Both sides were sparse forests, making it a relatively secluded place.
"It's you, I always feel a trashy smell." Mo Wuji wiped his hand, and the Heavenly Mechanism Staff appeared in his hand.
He didn't pay any attention to the young man in brocade clothes. What he was concerned about were the two people beside the young man in brocade clothes. From the aura of these two people, Mo Wuji vaguely guessed that they were both in the Spiritual Building Realm. As long as they were not in the Transcending Mortal Realm, he would still have a chance. If these two people were in the Transcending Mortal Realm, he would have to accept his fate.
"Oh, you even have a storage bag?" The man called Lu Sa's eyes lit up.
"Break all his bones, I want to kill him inch by inch." The young man in brocade clothes' eyes were filled with crazy killing intent. The slight fear he had just felt when he saw Mo Wuji disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Without the young man even ordering them, the two Spiritual Building Realm men had already rushed towards Mo Wuji with their weapons.
The directions in which the two attacked were completely different. Lu Sa's weapon was a long whip, while Jian Wei's weapon was a ring-backed saber. Lu Sa charged towards Mo Wuji head-on, and that whip also swept away all the momentum of the space he rushed through, which was equivalent to blocking one of Mo Wuji's escape routes.
And Jian Wei's saber did not actually slash at Mo Wuji's body, but at a place three feet to the right of Mo Wuji.
Although Mo Wuji's cultivation level was lower than these two, his strength was not weaker than any one of them. Moreover, he also possessed spiritual will, which the two could not compare to.
As soon as these two made their moves, Mo Wuji knew that the two cooperated very well. If he fought normally, even if he won, it would be a difficult victory. Moreover, he didn't have that much time to fight with these two. The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
He had to kill these two in the shortest possible time, and he couldn't even give these two a chance to cooperate again.
In the eyes of others, it would be a joke for a Meridian Opening Realm cultivator to kill two Spiritual Building Realm cultivators who cooperated well in the shortest possible time.
Mo Wuji didn't think it was a joke. He swung the long staff in his hand, trying to smash the long whip away. However, the power of Lu Sa's long whip seemed to be far greater than Mo Wuji's. The iron staff in Mo Wuji's hand only blocked it for a moment, and his entire body was blasted away by the Yuan Force on the long whip.
Seeing Mo Wuji fly out, Lu Sa sneered in his heart. This guy was indeed stronger than the average Meridian Opening Realm cultivator, but he was still far from being able to compare with the early stages of the Spiritual Building Realm, let alone with the two of them joining forces at the fourth level of the Spiritual Building Realm.
Just as he expected, the direction in which Mo Wuji flew out was exactly the direction in which Jian Wei's ring-backed saber was slashing. At first glance, it looked as if Mo Wuji was sending himself under Jian Wei's ring-backed saber.
Only Lu Ping and Jian Wei knew that Mo Wuji was not sending himself under Jian Wei's ring-backed saber, but that their joint strategy was originally to make Mo Wuji send himself over.
"Clang!" A sound of weapons colliding came, and Jian Wei suddenly felt a trace of foreboding.
According to the joint calculation of him and Lu Sa, after Lu Ping forced Mo Wuji back, Mo Wuji would retreat under his ring-backed saber. And in fact, this was indeed the case. Mo Wuji was blasted over by Lu Sa, and he was indeed under his ring-backed saber.
Logically speaking, this saber should have cut Mo Wuji in half at the waist, and he even prepared to pull back his strength. After all, Mo Wuji had offended the young master, and even if he wanted to kill Mo Wuji, he had to let the young master humiliate him first.
However, the sound of metal colliding made him feel uneasy. Jian Wei saw what was going on in the first instant. An iron staff was lying on Mo Wuji's back, almost贴ing (tiē - to paste, to glue, to stick) on his back.
Mo Wuji's iron staff was clearly blasted open by Lu Sa, so how could it suddenly appear behind Mo Wuji?
Not good, this kid was not blasted over, but deliberately sent over.
Just as Jian Wei thought of this, a faint white light flashed before his eyes. Jian Wei, who had originally regarded Mo Wuji as a dead man, never expected that Mo Wuji would make a full-force move at this time? The next moment, he felt as if his heart was torn apart, and the pain almost made him faint.
