"Big Brother Mo, she killed a disciple of my Ku Clan." Ku Cai tried her best to calm herself down before saying.
Mo Wuji nodded, "I know. I have some history with Dai Nanjian and her relationship with the Ku Clan is rather complicated. Nan Jian, explain the exact situation to Ku Cai. "
"Yes." Seeing Ku Cai, Dai Nanjian knew that it wasn't realistic for her to take revenge for her brother because Ku Cai was more than ten times stronger than her.
Ku Cai told Mo Wuji how her brother gave up the fragment of the Darkwood to Dark World and how Ku Chu of the Ku Clan tricked her into stealing the fragment of the Darkwood. Eventually, after she passed the fragment to Ku Chu, she and her brother became the scapegoats. The Ku Clan led the group to kill her brother in front of her and nailed her outside the Darkness Origin Hall to burn her soul for countless years.
Ku Cai's expression remained calm and she didn't seem to be moved. She knew about this a long time ago because she came to the Ku Clan to look for the fragment of the Darkwood. After investigating, she found out that even though the fragment of the Darkwood was taken by Ku Chu, Ku Chu escaped the Ku Clan with the fragment and arrived in God Domain.
Ku Chu was her ancestor so she wouldn't say anything to her ancestor no matter what. Even though Ku Chu stole the fragment of the Darkwood back then, she was still the number one expert of the Ku Clan due to her incredible strength.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart when he saw that Ku Cai was no longer as happy as before. He was extremely disgusted with the way the Ku Clan did things but since Ku Cai was a descendant of the Ku Clan, he couldn't say anything for the sake of the Ku Clan.
As for Dai Nanjian, he definitely wouldn't let Ku Cai kill her.
"Big Brother Mo, on account of you, I won't kill her today." After some time, Ku Cai finally heaved a sigh of relief and said.
Mo Wuji nodded as he no longer felt the joy of reuniting with Ku Cai. He turned to Dai Nanjian and said, "Nanjian, let's go."
"Yes, Senior Brother Mo." Dai Nanjian knew that she wouldn't be able to take revenge today and not only that, she would have to face the pursuit of the Ku Clan in the future. Just now, Ku Cai only said that she wouldn't kill her today on account of Mo Wuji but she didn't say that she wouldn't kill her in the future.
"Big Brother Mo, I still have something that I need your help with." After Ku Cai let go of the matter of Dai Nanjian, her expression suddenly warmed up and she even bowed towards Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji said calmly, "Just say it. As long as I can do it and it doesn't go against my heart's will, I will."
Ku Cai bowed once more before saying slowly, "If it wasn't for Brother Mo, I, Ku Cai, wouldn't be alive. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be saying such words. However, that Darkness Origin Bead is simply too important to me. I hope that Big Brother Mo can lend it to me. "
Mo Wuji looked at Ku Cai and didn't speak for a long time.
He understood the meaning behind Ku Cai's words. Ku Cai was implying that her strength had long surpassed his and if they were to forcefully snatch it, she would still be able to do so. Because of his debt of gratitude back then, she only said that she wanted to borrow it. Although he said he wanted to borrow it, it was more like he wanted to go over.
Noticing that Mo Wuji didn't speak for a long time, Ku Cai spoke again. "Big Brother Mo, even though my cultivation level is slightly higher than Big Brother Mo because of some opportunities, I will definitely not mention this matter if Big Brother Mo faces any difficulties."
At this point, Ku Cai hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Big Brother Mo, the universe is about to undergo a huge change and many peerless experts would appear. I cultivate a darkness-type technique and without the Darkness Origin Bead, it would be very difficult for me to take that step. Back then, it was because my cultivation level was too weak that I didn't know how useful the Darkness Origin Bead was to me. "
Mo Wuji remained silent. If it wasn't for him back then, Ku Cai wouldn't even be able to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest, let alone the location of the darkness source. Ku Cai's only use was to help him sense the direction of the darkness source laws.
Following which, he brought Ku Cai into the darkness source space. He was the one who left the primal darkness source crystal for Ku Cai to cultivate with. Even the Darkness Origin Bead was discovered by him first and he was the one who obtained it. Back then, he told Ku Cai that the Darkness Origin Bead was useful to him and he wanted to keep it. It wasn't because the Darkness Origin Bead belonged to Ku Cai but because he respected Ku Cai and didn't treat her as a weakling.
He was a sentimental person and friendship was the most precious thing to him. Moreover, he cultivated the Mortal Dao so he valued friendship and kinship even more. If the Darkness Origin Bead was still with him, he wouldn't have hesitated to give it to Ku Cai before bidding his farewells.
He didn't understand what Ku Cai experienced during this period of time. In the face of power and the Dao, she chose to give up her friendship.
This reminded him of Pan Jie. Even though Ku Cai wasn't as heartless as Pan Jie, she also made him feel that in the face of the Sage's Dao and power, friendship wasn't worth mentioning.
Mo Wuji sighed. He thought of Han Qingru, who would rather die than warn him, Yan Li, who risked his life to save Mo Qingche, and Yuan Zhenyi and Aunt Eleven, who were willing to risk their lives with him …
Not all friendships would change. Most friendships would become more precious with time.
Mo Wuji took in a deep breath and said to Ku Cai, "I'm sorry but I am unable to take out the Darkness Origin Bead now."
Ku Cai jolted slightly. In her eyes, Mo Wuji was an extremely generous person. Since she asked for it, Mo Wuji would definitely give it to her. She immediately came to an understanding. Mo Wuji also cultivated her Dark World's darkness-type technique so the Darkness Origin Bead would be extremely useful to Mo Wuji.
Who wouldn't want to step into the Sage Stage? She wanted to step into the Sage Stage, and Mo Wuji also wanted to do the same.
At the thought of this, Ku Cai said calmly, "Since that's the case, Ku Cai shall not make things difficult for Big Brother Mo. I haven't seen Big Brother Mo for a long time. Since Big Brother Mo came to Tian Ku City today, why don't you stay with me in the city for a few days? "
Mo Wuji said faintly, "There's no need. We will meet again someday. I shall be leaving first."
When Dai Nanjian saw that Mo Wuji was about to leave, she hurried to say, "Senior Brother Mo, my brother still has an item in the Ku Clan."
She was anxious to get the Primal Mothersteel back for Mo Wuji. In her eyes, Senior Brother Mo wouldn't be any weaker than Ku Cai.
"There's no need. Let's go." Mo Wuji knew that Dai Nanjian was referring to the Primal Mothersteel but he suspected that Dai Nanjian might have made a mistake. He saw the Primal Mothersteel under Moni God City so it was very likely that it belonged to the Ku Clan.
"Are you looking for the Primal Mothersteel?" Ku Cai suddenly took out a fist-sized piece of metal and said.
The moment Mo Wuji saw this fist-sized piece of metal, he knew that it was the Primal Mothersteel. He was sure that this piece of Primal Mothersteel came from the mountain-like Primal Mothersteel. However, he didn't know if it was dug out by Dai Fang or the Ku Clan.
"This was originally my brother Dai Fang." Dai Nanjian's voice was slightly cold. The Ku Clan killed her brother but they still dared to talk about her brother's item in front of her.
Ku Cai said calmly, "I'm not sure who this belongs to but I would like to ask you where did your brother Dai Fang get this Primal Mothersteel from."
Mo Wuji's face turned solemn because Ku Cai's words were too much. All along, he was the one who was indebted to Ku Cai. Besides letting him take a look at her darkness technique, Ku Cai had never repaid him for anything else. Moreover, from Ku Cai's words, he could tell that this Primal Mothersteel belonged to Dai Nanjian's brother, Dai Fang.
"Senior Brother Mo, let's go." Dai Nanjian couldn't even be bothered to speak as she turned and said to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji, who originally wanted to say a few words, suddenly felt dispirited. With a wave of his hand, he brought Dai Nanjian along. He whipped out the Time Plate and instantly disappeared from the outskirts of Tian Ku City.
Treasure of fortune, Time Plate? When Ku Cai saw Mo Wuji's Time Plate, her eyes started twitching. Following which, she took in a deep breath and sent out a message. Thereafter, she said to everyone else, "Everyone from the Ku Clan, return. Ku Xie, stay behind."
In less than half an incense's time, a skinny and tall man descended from the sky and landed in front of Ku Cai. He bowed and said, "Greetings Sage Lord."
Ku Cai retrieved a jade token and handed it to this skinny and tall man. "Follow this spiritual will imprint and bring this woman here. Remember that this man has some relationship with me. Don't kill him and let him go. You just need to bring his storage ring and flying treasure over. "
"Yes!" The skinny and tall man bowed respectfully.
After the skinny and tall man left, Ku Cai took out another talisman and handed it to Ku Xie. "After you activate this talisman, tell me the exact situation when you return."
Ku Xie hurried to receive the talisman and casually reattached his broken arm. Thereafter, he left swiftly.
…
"Senior Brother Mo, I'm sorry. I didn't know that the Ku Clan's Ku Cai was acquainted with you." After leaving Tian Ku City, Dai Nanjian said uneasily.
She could tell that Mo Wuji's relationship with Ku Cai had become estranged because of her.
Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "This has nothing to do with you. Even without your help, she would still be estranged from me."
When Ku Cai asked him for the Darkness Origin Bead, Mo Wuji understood that even if they didn't meet today, Ku Cai would still look for him for that bead in the future. This was because Ku Cai was ambitious. Her ambition was to become a Sage. Without the Darkness Origin Bead or the Darkwood, it would be hard for her to step into the Sage Stage.
Seeing that Dai Nanjian was about to speak, Mo Wuji raised his hand to stop her from speaking. He stopped the Time Plate and said, "Someone is chasing us."
