Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1103: Stone Turtle
Mo Wuji had indeed recognized the guy beside Xu Ping from the Cultivator Inn. He was definitely the stone mortar spirit he had encountered on Tortoise Island when he crossed the Silence Sea. That stone mortar spirit had tried to rob him back then, but he had ended up robbing a whole bunch of stuff from it instead.
“You know what I want to take back?”
“Boom!” Before Mo Wuji could answer, Xu Ping's attack slammed into the level seven Binding Kill God Formation.
Mo Wuji knew that Yuan Zhenyi couldn't interfere in this level of battle. He called out to the somewhat dazed Yuan Zhenyi and threw out several formation flags.
The furious Xu Ping couldn't wait to kill Mo Wuji immediately, but Jie Heng was extremely shrewd. While Xu Ping was attacking Mo Wuji, he roared at Xu Ping and then fled.
It was too late when Xu Ping reacted.
As he was trapped in the Binding Kill God Formation, Mo Wuji's Half-Moon Heavy Halberd drew a silver-white arc and chopped down.
Xu Ping sensed the complete chaos in the spatial rules. He became sluggish in this space. In an instant, he calmed down. Then, he realized something was wrong. It wasn't that his space was being slowed down by Mo Wuji, but that he discovered Jie Heng hadn't come to help him.
He knew how powerful Jie Heng was. No matter how fierce Mo Wuji was, he couldn't possibly be Jie Heng's opponent. As long as Jie Heng intervened, Mo Wuji's level seven Binding Kill Formation would be useless. Yet, he noticed Jie Heng was retreating.
Xu Ping had never imagined that Jie Heng would retreat when he needed help.
Terror finally filled Xu Ping's consciousness. Originally, with Jie Heng's help, he hadn't taken Mo Wuji seriously at all. With Jie Heng retreating, he truly felt the threat of death.
A white light flashed, and blood erupted from Xu Ping's glabella. Xu Ping's eyes dimmed. He knew Mo Wuji was powerful, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful. Only he knew that Mo Wuji's Binding Kill God Formation didn't affect him as much as it seemed. He had died completely under Mo Wuji's domain and divine ability.
Mo Wuji coldly stared at Jie Heng, who was standing outside the Binding Kill God Formation. What he had activated the Binding Kill God Formation against wasn't Xu Ping of the Cultivator Inn, but Jie Heng. With his strength back when he was in the early stages of God King, he could easily kill Tie Lanshan. Now that he was at the sixth level of God King, almost stepping into the late stage, why would he need a Binding Kill God Formation to deal with Xu Ping, a mere Combination God at the first level?
Unfortunately, this old tortoise was too cunning, and his Binding Kill God Formation hadn't been effective.
As soon as Jie Heng sensed Mo Wuji's powerful domain, he knew that Mo Wuji's strength far exceeded his expectations. He had drifted in the God Realm and lurked in the Silence Sea for many years, so he naturally cherished his little life more than anyone else.
Although he didn't think he would be killed just because Mo Wuji's Binding Kill God Formation had locked him down, he still chose to retreat. Now, he felt that his choice was correct. If he had really been locked down by the level seven Binding Kill God Formation, he might not have been able to escape unscathed. Even if he could escape, he would definitely suffer some injuries.
“Brother Wuji, you're so powerful now?” Yuan Zhenyi, in surprise, stepped forward and landed beside Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji put away his Array Dao Heavenly Underfoot Jade Token, deactivated the Binding Kill God Formation, and smiled at Yuan Zhenyi, “We'll talk about our matters later.”
After speaking, Mo Wuji said to the many cultivators waiting for teleportation, “Everyone, please leave the teleportation square first. The teleportation array in God Domain New City will reopen in three days. This teleportation array will be controlled by God Domain…”
Regardless of the reason why the Nirvana Learning Academy had given the authority of the God Domain New City teleportation array to the Cultivator Inn, Mo Wuji would never return this teleportation array to the Nirvana Learning Academy.
Jie Heng didn't retreat. After watching Mo Wuji deactivate the Binding Kill God Formation, he said to Mo Wuji from afar, “Mo Wuji, we have a common goal and no great life-and-death feud. How about finding a place to have a good chat?”
In his eyes, the hatred between him and Mo Wuji was smaller than the thing he was about to retrieve. As for Xu Ping being killed, it could only be said that the Cultivator Inn guy was useless. Why would a useless guy cooperate with him, Jie Heng?
“Fellow Daoist Hong Qi.” Hong Qi遁came from afar. His surprised voice arrived even before he did.
Seeing Hong Qi, Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that God Domain New City was definitely a big piece of fat meat, and he didn't have time to manage it right now. Handing it over to Hong Qi was the best option.
“Fellow Daoist Hong Qi.” Mo Wuji also cupped his fists and greeted him happily.
He ignored Jie Heng. Now he was certain that Jie Heng was on the same level as Kun Yun. He couldn't kill this kind of person if they were determined to escape. If the other party wanted to cooperate with him, he didn't need to pay attention. The other party would wait for him.
“You killed Xu Ping of the Cultivator Inn?” As soon as God King Hong Qi arrived here, he saw Xu Ping's body split in half and his primordial spirit dissipated.
Mo Wuji nodded, “That's right. This guy is from the Cultivator Inn. They're actually controlling God Domain New City in God Domain and charging fees for the teleportation array here privately.”
In fact, even if Xu Ping wasn't charging fees here, he would have found a way to kill Xu Ping if he went to God Continent. He had even destroyed the God Dao Sect, so how could he care about a mere Cultivator Inn?
Hong Qi naturally knew why Mo Wuji wanted to kill Xu Ping. The God Dao Sect had been flattened by Mo Wuji for going to the Forgotten River Dao Gate to pressure Qu You. It would be strange if Mo Wuji could spare Xu Ping after he主动found his way here.
However, he wouldn't say these words. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It's great that you're back. Li Tian and I searched for you several times, but we couldn't find you. Li Tian was seriously injured and left in order to reclaim God Domain New City…”
As he spoke, Hong Qi's gaze fell on Jie Heng in the distance.
Mo Wuji knew that Jie Heng must have seriously injured Li Tian, which was why Hong Qi and Li Tian didn't dare to manage God Domain New City.
Seeing Mo Wuji's gaze sweep over, Jie Heng spread his hands and said, “Mo Wuji, you also know that after the God Realm was restored, I basically got what I wanted. To be honest, although God Domain New City is a treasure land where countless God Crystals can be collected every day, I, Jie Heng, really don't care about it. I was just cooperating with Xu Ping. Now that Xu Ping has been killed by you, I plan to cooperate with you. As for the affairs of God Domain New City, of course you have the final say.”
Mo Wuji didn't answer Jie Heng. Instead, he cupped his fists and said to Hong Qi, “Fellow Daoist Hong Qi, I have urgent matters and need to leave here for a period of time. God Domain New City is entrusted to you. As for the City Lord of God Domain New City, it should be the guy from the Cultivator Inn. You can kill him and replace him with a new City Lord.”
With a Combination God expert like Hong Qi controlling God Domain New City, there would be absolutely no pressure.
“Okay, Fellow Daoist Mo, rest assured, I will definitely restore order to God Domain New City. I will allocate a portion of the income from God Domain New City to your Mortal Sect.” God King Hong Qi said quickly.
Although the God Realm rules were restored, God Domain, God Continent, and the God Race were still used to being separated. God Domain New City was very important to God Domain. If Jie Heng wasn't too powerful, a cultivator like Hong Qi who called God Domain home would never have stood by and watched God Domain New City fall into the hands of the Cultivator Inn.
“Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Hong Qi with this. I have some things to discuss with this old bastard.” Mo Wuji cupped his fists at Hong Qi.
After entrusting Hong Qi, Mo Wuji called out to Yuan Zhenyi, “Zhenyi, let's go.”
“Then I'll go take over God Domain New City first.” He knew that Mo Wuji had matters to discuss with Jie Heng now, and it wasn't something he could interfere with. After agreeing to Mo Wuji, he immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion and sent out several messages at the same time. As one of the top ten God Kings in God Domain, Hong Qi naturally had people around him.
“Big Brother Mo, I am Qu Xi. Thank you for avenging my sister.” Just as Mo Wuji called out to Yuan Zhenyi, a beautiful woman in a green dress walked out of the crowd and bowed to Mo Wuji.
As soon as Mo Wuji saw this woman, he knew that this was the woman who had disguised herself as Qu You back then and ambushed him at the Punishment Cliff of the Forgotten River Dao Gate. She looked nine-tenths like Qu You.
“For Qu You's sake, I won't kill you today. Get as far away from me as you can.” After Mo Wuji said this with a sneer, he signaled Yuan Zhenyi that they could leave.
Watching Mo Wuji walk towards Jie Heng, Qu Xi's face turned pale with anger. She believed that she was definitely not inferior to her sister, but this Mo was blind and ignored her so much.
“Stone Tortoise, you're not so brave now, daring to stay here and not leave.” Mo Wuji walked to Jie Heng and said indifferently.
Jie Heng's face was a little ugly, “Mo Wuji, since we are going to cooperate in the future, please respect me. I have a name. My name is Jie Heng. Moreover, my background is more than ten thousand times greater than yours. In the future, you will be the one asking me for help, not me asking you.”
Mo Wuji sneered, “Is your background very remarkable? Are you more powerful than Luo Xu or more powerful than Saintess Qingyi? Are you one of the Eight Saints, the Four Dao Sovereigns, or the Three Loose Immortals? Could it be that you are one of the Twelve God Emperors?”
“How do you know these things?” Jie Heng's face changed drastically, and he had already forgotten that Mo Wuji called him Stone Tortoise.
