Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 1168: Escape

A message came from the flying sword that Mo Wuji had arrived in God Continent not long ago. Because the Ao Clan of God Continent had imprisoned Mo Wuji's senior sister, Chi Bing, and his disciple, Chi Chuan, Mo Wuji directly destroyed the Ao Clan in the Ao Clan God City, killing thirty elders and powerful individuals, including the clan leader, Ao Chou. Ao Binha and Ao Wushang, the two saints of the Ao Clan who rushed to the scene, were no match for Mo Wuji and were easily killed by him.

After the Ao Clan's powerful individuals were killed by Mo Wuji, the clan was quickly and frantically divided up by others. Now, the Ao Clan God City no longer has anything to do with the Ao Clan.

Yan Ling and Ji Ding felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave upon seeing this news. To be honest, even if Mo Wuji had destroyed the God衍 Sect and killed Xu Ping, the curator of the God Continent Cultivator's Hall, Yan Ling had not taken Mo Wuji seriously. He was at the peak of the eighth level of God Integration, and he was not afraid of even the peak of the ninth level of God Integration.

To put it arrogantly, Yan Ling had long regarded himself as the number one person below the quasi-sage. Now, Mo Wuji, whom he had not taken seriously at all, had easily wiped out the Ao Clan and killed two quasi-sages of the Ao Clan...

This meant that Mo Wuji must have entered the ranks of quasi-sages. If he had offended Mo Wuji, there would probably be no place for him, Yan Ling, in the entire God Realm. Fortunately, Si Wanshang had not left yet...

No, he had offended Mo Wuji as early as half a year ago. Thinking of this, Yan Ling felt uneasy and needed to leave immediately. No, he needed to leave God Domain immediately.

Ji Ding was equally anxious. He and Mo Wuji were mortal enemies. More and more evidence showed that his only son, Yu Zhenmi, had been killed by Mo Wuji. He had wanted to frame Mo Wuji earlier, but he didn't expect to frame the real culprit.

Si Wanshang lowered his head, not daring to look at Yan Ling, and carefully returned to his seat. Going to deal with Wei Ru at this time would be akin to courting death. Now, he had to consider the fate of Si Wanshang and the Crane Spirit God Sect.

The other sect leaders or family heads in the hall were as silent as death. After a dozen breaths, Li He finally stood up, cupped his fists, and said, "The Tianji God Sect will withdraw from the alliance."

After saying this, Li He turned around and left quickly, without waiting for Yan Ling to reply.

Following Li He's departure, the other sect leaders stood up one after another. Some made excuses to leave, while others simply withdrew from the God Domain Alliance like Li He.

Half an incense stick later, only a few people remained in the alliance hall.

Yan Ling said to the people in the hall, "Mo Wuji's strength has exceeded our expectations. Everyone, please disperse first. We'll discuss the God Domain Alliance later."

The remaining few had been waiting for Yan Ling to say this. As soon as Yan Ling said this, the hall quickly emptied, leaving only Yan Ling and Ji Ding.

"Brother Yan Ling," Ji Ding didn't know what to say.

Yan Ling waved his hand and said, "I have offended Mo Wuji too deeply. He probably doesn't know it yet. So, I must leave. We'll meet again in the future if fate allows. I heard that another terrible tribulation is coming. Perhaps we'll meet in the tribulation then."

Ji Ding Divine King nodded. He knew that Yan Ling had to leave.

...

Mo Wuji met Wei Ru a month and a half later, just after he had finished setting up the Mortal Tower and the Meridian Opening Tower.

It was simply because there were too many cultivators heading to the Mortal Sect, and the teleportation arrays in almost all places were overcrowded. Even though Wei Ru revealed his identity as the vice sect leader of the Mortal Sect, it was still much slower than usual.

Wei Ru had heard the news of Mo Wuji's return on the way, and he was truly overjoyed to see Mo Wuji at this moment.

Mo Wuji was not only his senior brother, but also his savior and the sect leader of the Mortal Sect.

After Mo Wuji briefly recounted his experiences, he listened to Wei Ru tell him everything about the God Domain Alliance. When Mo Wuji heard that Yan Ling wanted the resources of the Mortal Sect, he sneered in his heart, thinking that this guy was actually targeting the Mortal Sect, which was simply courting death.

"Don't worry about Yan Ling. I'll leave the matter of recruiting disciples to you for now. By the way, why isn't my friend Yuan Zhenyi in the sect?" Mo Wuji hadn't seen Yuan Zhenyi since he returned, and Jie Heng's cultivation was too high, so he didn't have much in common with Yuan Zhenyi. So, only Wei Ru knew where Yuan Zhenyi had gone.

Wei Ru took out a message jade slip and handed it to Mo Wuji, saying, "Sect Leader, this is what Brother Yuan asked me to give you before he left."

Mo Wuji activated the jade slip, and Yuan Zhenyi's voice came, "Wuji, due to my cultivation technique, I can't improve my strength by simply cultivating in seclusion. I originally planned to wait for you to come back before leaving, but I feel that there will be a major change in the God Realm, and if I don't improve my strength, it won't be a good thing. So, I'm leaving the sect in advance. We brothers will definitely meet in the future, Zhenyi."

Mo Wuji knew that Yuan Zhenyi cultivated the ancient martial arts path. Yuan Zhenyi's aptitude for ancient martial arts was first-rate, but the ancient martial arts path did indeed grow in adversity. Unlike cultivators who cultivated in seclusion for many years, ancient martial arts grew in life and death. This was similar to his Mortal Dao, where the faster the growth was in adversity.

Yuan Zhenyi had been fighting in the universe starry sky for many years, and even achieved such great success. Naturally, he had his own survival knowledge, and Mo Wuji knew that he didn't need to worry too much. Putting away Yuan Zhenyi's message jade slip, Mo Wuji said, "I'm going to..."

He only said three words when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did Hong Qi come here when I left?"

He had killed Xu Ping of the Cultivator's Hall and handed over the teleportation array between God Domain New City and the Crossing Nirvana Sea to Hong Qi Divine King for management, but he hadn't asked about it since.

Wei Ru quickly replied, "Senior Hong Qi comes here often. Every few months, he sends someone to deliver some divine crystals, saying that it's our Mortal Sect's share in God Domain New City. Also, Senior Li Tian, he and Senior Hong Qi come here often together. However, Senior Hong Qi hasn't come here recently, and he hasn't sent anyone to deliver divine crystals either."

Mo Wuji nodded. "Okay, I understand. I'm going to God Domain New City. After the disciple recruitment is completed, you need to seize the time to cultivate. Your cultivation is still a bit low."

"Yes," Wei Ru replied quickly.

Mo Wuji wasn't worried that something would happen to Hong Qi. He had passed through God Domain New City not long ago, and the city was well-organized. Not only was the teleportation array managed well, but the order in God Domain New City was also very good. However, Hong Qi wasn't in God Domain New City at that time, and he was anxious to return to the Mortal Sect, so he didn't stay in God Domain New City for long.

Now that the Mortal Sect was preparing to recruit disciples, he should go back and see Hong Qi.

...

In the city lord's mansion of God Domain New City, standing in front of Mo Wuji was a middle-aged man at the fourth level of Divine King. He was the city lord of God Domain New City, Bi Heqia.

Bi Heqia obviously knew Mo Wuji's reputation. He was very cautious in front of Mo Wuji, as if Mo Wuji would turn him into ashes with a wave of his hand if he displeased him.

"You're saying that Hong Qi and Li Tian haven't been here for half a year, and the income from the God Domain New City Chamber of Commerce and the Nirvana Sea teleportation has been collected by a man named Ni He?" Mo Wuji's voice already had a hint of coldness.

"Yes," Bi Heqia replied with a bow. "I heard that Ni He is responsible to Yan Ling, the Divine Master of the God Domain Alliance, but that Ni He hasn't come to collect the divine crystals in the past month and a half."

Bi Heqia had been in God Domain New City for so long. Hong Qi and Li Tian suddenly disappeared, but Yan Ling, who didn't get along well with Li Tian, came here to collect the divine crystals. How could he not see through some tricks? However, his strength was low, and he could only agree meekly in front of these powerful individuals.

A murderous intent arose in Mo Wuji's heart. It seemed that he had let Yan Ling go, but Yan Ling was courting death himself, reaching his hand into the Nirvana Sea teleportation array and God Domain New City.

Needless to say, Hong Qi and Li Tian must have fallen victim to Yan Ling. He didn't know if these two had been killed by Yan Ling or had escaped. With Li Tian's cunning, he shouldn't have been killed.

"I understand. You will temporarily be in charge of God Domain New City and the Nirvana Sea teleportation. If you need any help, immediately go to the Mortal Sect to find Wei Ru or Elder Jie Heng. If you find out any news about Yan Ling or people related to Yan Ling, give me a message immediately." Mo Wuji didn't take him down because he knew that Bi Heqia was appointed by Hong Qi.

It must be that Yan Ling had acted too quickly and hadn't found a suitable person to replace Bi Heqia, the city lord of God Domain New City.

"Yes, this junior will definitely live up to Sect Leader Mo's expectations," Bi Heqia said excitedly. With Mo Wuji letting him be in charge, no one would dare to covet this new city.

Mo Wuji didn't go looking for Yan Ling. He was 100% sure that Yan Ling had already left God Domain. How could such a cunning old fox wait for him to reap his head?

As for Hong Qi and Li Tian, Mo Wuji didn't go looking for them either. As long as Hong Qi and Li Tian were still alive, they would definitely come back to him after learning about the Mortal Sect's recruitment of disciples.

Mo Wuji was planning to go to the Burial God Valley. With his current quasi-sage strength, he wasn't a match for the Green-Clothed Saintess, but that Green-Clothed Saintess shouldn't be able to crush him either.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to cultivate. If he could continue cultivating in seclusion for a thousand years with the Time Wheel and raise his cultivation to the late stage of quasi-sage, he would be even more confident.
