Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 922 Demanding Someone
With his current ant-like status, even Pang Jie couldn't protect him. If anyone discovered even the slightest trace, he would be dead.
……
By the Divine Domain Nest's seaside, at least tens of thousands of miles away from where Mo Wuji entered the sea, a cultivator covered in blood stumbled onto the beach.
His aura was weak, but his eyes blazed with hatred. Since his debut, Tie Zheng had never suffered such a great loss. He was severely injured by an invisible sword intent. If not for his Three Thousand Weak Water Armor, he estimated he would have been killed long ago.
Unfortunately, his Three Thousand Weak Water Armor hadn't been completely refined. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured.
Whoever dared to ambush him, Tie Zheng, in the Divine Domain Nest seabed, he would definitely get his revenge.
In Tie Zheng's view, this person was easy to find. There couldn't be many people who could use spells like him in the Divine Domain Nest seabed, maybe even no third person.
He relied on the Three Thousand Weak Water Armor, which was almost a Xiantian treasure, considered a semi-Xiantian treasure. It was semi-Xiantian because this Three Thousand Weak Water Armor was not completely formed but was refined later. This water armor came with the laws of nature, even if he hadn't completely refined it, he could still use it to penetrate his spiritual will in the Divine Domain Nest seabed.
That was why he was able to plot against Qu You. Originally, Qu You was bound to die in the Divine Domain Nest seabed. He didn't expect someone to suddenly appear and ruin his plan, even saving Qu You.
The one who severely injured him was likely some kind of spiritual will arrow intent. Fortunately, his Three Thousand Weak Water Armor blocked the killing intent of the spiritual will arrow, otherwise, his sea of consciousness might have been torn apart by this spiritual will arrow.
Since this person could extend his spiritual will in the Divine Domain Nest seabed, he could definitely find a large amount of Five Elements Sand. To find him, he just needed to see who had traded a large amount of Five Elements Sand. Even if no one was trading now, he could have people keep an eye out for anyone who came here to trade Five Elements Sand in the future.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Tie Zheng put away his water armor treasure, swallowed a few healing pills, and changed his clothes.
Half an incense stick later, the once water ghost-like Tie Zheng had transformed into a burly man. His face was covered in steel needle-like stubble, a square face with large eyes, giving people a sense of righteousness and integrity.
Just by looking at Tie Zheng's appearance, no one would have imagined that he would hide in the Divine Domain Nest seabed and plot against Qu You.
……
In the Divine Domain Nest's Affairs Hall, not long after Mo Wuji left, Qu You appeared there. She went directly to the task window and posted a task, needing some Five Elements Sand, terms negotiable, and she would definitely not let the person with the Five Elements Sand suffer.
Qu You posted the task to find Mo Wuji. Her idea was the same as Tie Zheng's, that the person who saved her, since he could extend his spiritual will in the Divine Domain Nest seabed to attack, could definitely find Five Elements Sand. Unlike Tie Zheng, she wanted to thank the person who saved her in person, and also had a sense of protecting the person who saved her.
Her own strength was indeed not very high, but her sect was the Forgetful River Dao Sect, which was a top-tier sect in the Divine Domain. If someone dared to plot against her, Qu You, how could the Forgetful River Dao Sect let it go? She simply didn't think that Mo Wuji would leave the Divine Domain Nest sea and trade the Five Elements Sand, with almost no interval in between. If she had thought of this, she could have just asked at the window.
"Junior Sister Qu, what a coincidence, you're here to post a task?" Tie Zheng had just arrived at the entrance of the Affairs Hall when he saw Qu You.
Qu You was no stranger to Tie Zheng. He was one of the core disciples of the Divine Evolution Sect and was considered the future of the Divine Evolution Sect. Moreover, Tie Zheng's character was just like his name, upright and righteous, doing things with loyalty and generosity, and despising those who plotted in the dark.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Tie. I want to find a few sets of Five Elements Sand, so I came to post a task." Qu You quickly returned the greeting. She felt that Tie Zheng seemed to be injured, and his aura was somewhat unstable.
But Tie Zheng's strength was very powerful, and his reputation was also very great. Plus, he was a very important disciple of the Divine Evolution Sect. Whether it was the snatching during the Divine Domain Nest's hatching or the dueling in the Divine Domain Nest's Heaven and Earth Plaza, who could hurt Tie Zheng, or who would dare to hurt him?
"Five Elements Sand is not easy to find. I'm here to find my junior brother," Tie Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll be going now." Qu You greatly admired Tie Zheng. She wasn't very familiar with Tie Zheng, and could only say that she knew him.
Watching Qu You leave the Affairs Hall, Tie Zheng frowned slightly. He wondered if his previous idea was correct.
Qu You came to find Five Elements Sand, obviously to find the person who saved her. And the person who saved Qu You was the person he, Tie Zheng, wanted to kill. If Qu You knew that he was also here to find someone with Five Elements Sand, she might suspect him. If Qu You knew that he was seriously injured, she would almost certainly suspect him.
He, Tie Zheng, wasn't afraid of just Qu You alone, but the sect behind Qu You was one that even his Divine Evolution Sect didn't dare to provoke casually.
How could the guy who plotted against him, being able to extend his spiritual will in the Divine Domain Nest seabed, be simple? What if he came from a sect like the Forgetful River Dao Sect? If he, Tie Zheng, was exposed, it wouldn't be good.
Thinking of this, Tie Zheng broke out in a cold sweat. If this matter was exposed, not only would his reputation, which he had built up over the years, be ruined, but even the Divine Evolution Sect would be implicated.
Tie Zheng clenched his fists, pretended to look for someone in the Affairs Hall, then turned around and left the Affairs Hall.
As soon as Tie Zheng left, Qu You came out of a building opposite the Affairs Hall. She saw clearly that Tie Zheng was really looking for someone.
This made her shake her head. What kind of person was Tie Zheng? How could he hide in the Divine Domain Nest seabed and plot against her? Even if Tie Zheng was injured, it definitely wouldn't be in the Divine Domain Nest sea.
……
"Mo Wuji?" Mo Wuji had just entered the Divine Domain Nest's sect gathering area when he heard a voice calling him.
Mo Wuji turned around and saw a familiar face, Liu Ru Ting. This woman seemed to have recovered, and her face was radiant, adding a few more points of mature woman's charm than when they first met.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Liu." Mo Wuji could see that Liu Ru Ting was at least at the Heavenly God level, much stronger than him. Although he didn't help Liu Ru Ting much in the past, he could tell that this woman was quite heartless. If he had known he would run into this woman, he would have rather hid outside for a while longer. Earlier, he had hidden for a long time before daring to come in because he saw a cultivator with a back view similar to Yu Zhen Na's.
"How did you come to the Divine Domain Nest? Aren't you an outer disciple? Did you come to help?" Liu Ru Ting asked several questions in a row.
Hearing these questions from Liu Ru Ting, Mo Wuji knew that this woman had not asked about him and Xi Nianmo at all afterward. It was indeed as he thought, extremely heartless. He, Mo Wuji, indeed hadn't helped Liu Ru Ting much, but Xi Nianmo had helped Liu Ru Ting a lot. At least Liu Ru Ting's travel expenses back to the Nine Evolutions God Sect were all paid by Xi Nianmo.
"Oh, that Lu Xing Teng just asked for me and Xi Nianmo's names, and then left," Mo Wuji said lightly.
Liu Ru Ting immediately showed anger and said, "Good, this Lu Xing Teng, daring to do this. Even if he didn't want to arrange it, he should at least tell me, and I would arrange it myself."
Mo Wuji sneered in his heart, and didn't even have the thought of speaking. If this woman was willing to arrange it herself, she wouldn't still not know that he wasn't in the Nine Evolutions God Sect.
Liu Ru Ting's anger came quickly and went even faster. "By the way, then how did you appear in this place? This is the Divine Domain Nest's sect gathering area."
Mo Wuji said calmly, "I joined the Heavenly Mortal Sect. The Heavenly Mortal Sect's Elder Wei Jie thought that my bones were unique and my talent was extraordinary. He thought I was a genius for cultivation. He took me as his chief disciple and put me in charge of the sect's reception duties."
"Pfft!" Hearing Mo Wuji say reception duties, Liu Ru Ting couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeming to feel that her laughter was disrespectful to Mo Wuji, she quickly added, "I didn't mean to."
Mo Wuji smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not the first time I've been told this. Goodbye."
After speaking, Mo Wuji was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Ru Ting and went directly into the Heavenly Mortal Sect's residence.
"Mo Wuji, if there's anything you need my help with, remember to say it!" Seeing Mo Wuji leave, Liu Ru Ting seemed to not know Mo Wuji's attitude at all, and still shouted from behind.
"His name is Mo Wuji?" A deep, gentle voice sounded in Liu Ru Ting's ear. Liu Ru Ting turned around and saw Tie Zheng.
"So it's Junior Brother Tie. Yes, his name is Mo Wuji. He's a very lucky guy," Liu Ru Ting said with a chuckle.
"A very lucky guy?" Tie Zheng looked at the Heavenly Mortal Sect's residence in the distance, frowning slightly. Mo Wuji's back view flashed by, and he felt like he had seen Mo Wuji before, but he couldn't remember where.
……
"Wuji, come to my place for a moment." Mo Wuji had just stepped into the Heavenly Mortal Sect's residence when he heard his Grandmaster Pang Jie's voice.
"Yes." Although Grandmaster Pang Jie had taken away all the spots he had promised him, Mo Wuji's respect for Pang Jie hadn't changed in the slightest. He responded and quickly went to Pang Jie's residence.
"Greetings, Senior Brother." Mo Wuji bowed after entering the room.
There were two people in Pang Jie's room. Mo Wuji knew one of them, it was Lan Ou from the Forgetful River Dao Sect. There was also a middle-aged man, whose entire body was filled with Daoist rhythms, clearly a top expert.
"Senior Brother?" The middle-aged man looked at Mo Wuji in surprise.
Pang Jie laughed and said, "Daoist Ji, I and Wuji hit it off, so we decided to be equals."
After speaking, Pang Jie said to Mo Wuji again, "Wuji, you know Senior Sister Lan Ou, so I won't say more. This is Elder Ji Yi from the Forgetful River Dao Sect, quickly greet him."
Mo Wuji also cupped his fists and said, "Heavenly Mortal Sect disciple Mo Wuji greets Elder Ji Yi."
He felt a little helpless, helpless for Pang Jie. Grandmaster Pang Jie was clearly at the God King realm, and this Elder Ji Yi's strength was definitely not at the God King realm, but he could make Grandmaster Pang Jie receive him personally. This was helplessness. The Heavenly Mortal Sect's strength was too weak, and when the Forgetful River Dao Sect sent a World God Elder, a God King had to receive him.
