"Many thanks senior apprentice brother Ju," Zhu Kaifu hurried to express his gratitude. To be honest, he was not afraid that Mo Wuji would surpass him. He was only worried about Mo Wuji's identity in the Heaven Seeking Palace. For a rogue cultivator in the Yuan Dan Stage like him, a random mission from the Heaven Seeking Palace would kill him within a month.
"Come, everyone drink to your heart's content. This is our Cheng Yu State's best wine …" Situ Qian finally felt assured as he raised his wine cup.
"Your Majesty, there's an urgent letter …" A woman hurried over and handed a letter to Situ Qian.
Situ Qian saw a lump of red on the letter and his hand trembled, almost dropping his wine cup. The red colour on the letter represented the country's most urgent news. Only such a letter could be delivered to him without any prior notice.
"I know, you may leave." Situ Qian quickly regained his composure. He thought about the fact that the Heaven Seeking Palace inner disciple Ju Qijian was here, what was there to worry about?
Ju Qijian and Zhu Kaifu's expressions were very calm. To cultivators like them, no matter how important the Cheng Yu State's affairs were, it was nothing much. At the very most, an army could attack the Cheng Yu State's capital, Rao Zhou. To them, this was not even worth mentioning.
Situ Qian opened the letter and when he saw the contents, his hand became agitated and he directly knocked the untouched wine cup to the ground.
"Ding dang!" The wine cup shattered and the fragrance of the wine filled the air.
"State Lord Situ, as the state lord of a state, you should have a calm demeanor," Ju Qijian said with a frown.
To be honest, he really did not place a state lord in his eyes. The reason why he came here was not because of Situ Qian's face, but because the Ju Clan was in Situ Qian's state territory. Situ Qian's impatient look made him suspect that there was a problem in giving Situ Qian face.
Situ Qian hurriedly passed the letter in his hand to Ju Qijian and said with a trembling voice, "Immortal Master Qijian … The remnants of the Mo Clan killed their way to the Northern Qin Prefecture's capital, Luo An, and slaughtered the entire Ju Clan. Now, the Northern Qin Prefecture belongs to the Mo Clan …"
"What?" Ju Qijian's eyebrows twitched. He suddenly stood up and immediately slapped the table in front of him. A fine white jade table, under his slap, turned into fine powder. As for the letter that Situ Qian handed to him, he did not even glance at it.
"The one with the surname Mo, just you wait …" Ju Qijian said through gritted teeth. Thereafter, he stared at Situ Qian, "How long does it take for the letter to reach you from Luo An?"
Now that the Ju Clan had been exterminated, Ju Qijian no longer had any good feelings towards Situ Qian.
Facing Ju Qijian's overbearing attitude, Situ Qian did not dare to speak any nonsense as he hurriedly replied, "This letter was sent by a flying beast, it would only take half a day."
Ju Qijian said coldly, "From the looks of it, he hasn't left Luo An. I will go to Luo An now. If he dares to leave, I will kill every single person in Luo An City. "
"Ah …" Hearing that Ju Qijian wanted to kill an entire city's worth of people, Situ Qian's heart jumped, but he did not dare to refute Ju Qijian's words.
Zhu Kaifu, who originally wanted to curry favour with Ju Qijian and follow him to Luo An, immediately shut his mouth when he heard that Ju Qijian wanted to kill every single person in Luo An City.
Ju Qijian would do such a stupid thing in a fit of anger, and he did not want to court death by following behind him. Don't think that cultivators were high and mighty in the mortal world. If they really dared to massacre a city in the mortal world, there would be people who would take care of them. He was sure that even if Ju Qijian was from the Heaven Seeking Palace, he would not have a good ending after massacring a city.
Seeing that Zhu Kaifu did not continue to follow Ju Qijian to Luo An, Situ Qian heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that Ju Qijian and Zhu Kaifu would leave. If they left, Mo Wuji would take the opportunity to come over, and then he would be dead for sure.
"Boom!" An intense explosion could be heard, and even the entire ground started to shake. Ju Qijian, Situ Qian and the other two hurried to the side.
"Crash …" Countless building debris and broken pieces of wood fell to the ground, and a huge hole appeared in Cheng Yu State's grand and magnificent lord's palace. Following which, the palace shook, and completely collapsed.
Countless screams for help could be heard from the lord's palace, and many guards started to run out.
A young man in blue linen robes stood on top of a huge pillar in front of the lord's palace, staring at Ju Qijian and co. His hands were empty, and no one knew what he used to destroy the lord's palace.
"Ju Qijian, it's truly a small world ah. I believe you should have received the news right? Are you thinking of going to Luo An City? Look, you don't need to go now, I'm already here. "The young man stared at Ju Qijian with his hands behind his back, and his tone was filled with sarcasm.
"Mo Wuji …" The ashen-faced Situ Qian blurted out. His entire body was trembling, but it was unknown whether it was because of anger or fear.
When Zhu Kaifu heard the three words Mo Wuji, he immediately knew who this person was. Mo Wuji's spirituality was not apparent, but as he stood on top of that pillar, he actually felt an unwillingness to make an enemy out of him.
The blue robed youth was Mo Wuji, who had just arrived from Luo An. When he heard that Ju Qijian was here, he did not stop to rest, and immediately rushed over. Only by killing Ju Qijian, could he leave this place in peace.
As for Cheng Yu State's palace, it was naturally destroyed by his Tian Ji Pole. Back when he was almost killed by Situ Qian in this palace, he had already planned to destroy this palace one day. Today, he finally managed to vent his anger.
He did not want to reveal his Tian Ji Pole here, so after destroying the lord's palace, he kept his Tian Ji Pole.
"Surnamed Mo, let me see who else can help you today …" Ju Qijian's long sword drew out, and a sword flower appeared, directly cutting the pillar that Mo Wuji was standing on.
Mo Wuji had already landed far away. He did not even say a word, and directly fled out of Rao Zhou City. With Ju Qijian's arrogance, he would definitely chase after him.
He was not willing to fight in Rao Zhou City. If the two of them fought first, many innocent people would die. Secondly, his Tian Ji Pole could not be exposed in Rao Zhou City. Once it was exposed, everyone would know that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. Now that he had another enemy, the Yu Lin Lei Clan, he did not want others to know that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705.
Indeed, after Mo Wuji left the city, Ju Qijian did not hesitate to chase after him.
Zhu Kaifu's face was very calm. He did not follow Ju Qijian out. Don't underestimate him just because he was a rogue cultivator, and his talent was far from Ju Qijian's. But he had experienced much more than Ju Qijian. The moment he saw Mo Wuji, he felt a sense of fear. Even though Mo Wuji did not have any spirituality around him, he did not believe that Mo Wuji was only in the Spirit Building Stage.
A Spirit Building Stage cultivator dared to tell Ju Qijian to go out of the city, was he crazy?
Seeing Situ Qian's changing expression, Zhu Kaifu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Senior Ju is an inner sect expert of the Heaven Seeking Palace. It would be a piece of cake for him to kill a small outer sect disciple. I will stay here to protect Your Majesty. I will definitely not let that person have the chance to take advantage of you. "
Situ Qian's expression finally turned slightly better, "Then I'll have to thank the State Protector."
Zhu Kaifu smiled faintly. He had already made up his mind. If he did not see Ju Qijian return within an hour, he would immediately leave Cheng Yu State and go as far as he could.
With his experience and foresight, if Mo Wuji really could not withstand a single blow, then Ju Qijian would definitely be able to kill Mo Wuji within an hour. If he could not kill Mo Wuji within an hour, then it would mean that Mo Wuji's strength was not below Ju Qijian's.
Mo Wuji's strength was not below Ju Qijian's. No matter who won or lost, he did not want to get involved in this mess. He might as well go as far as he could. The reason why he chose to stay here as a State Protector was because of the riches of the mortal world and some scarce cultivation resources. A mere Situ Qian was not worth it for him to risk his life for.
…
Mo Wuji stopped in a desolate forest outside of Rao Zhou City. He was plotted against on Earth. When he woke up, he appeared on a mound of soil here.
Now, the mound of soil seemed to still be here. However, Yan 'Er, who stood behind the mound of soil and called him' Your Majesty ', was no longer here.
"Did you choose this place to be your burial ground?" Ju Qijian landed not far from Mo Wuji and said with a cold tone.
Mo Wuji stared at Ju Qijian and said calmly, "This is a burial ground. However, it's not mine, but yours. Back when I left this place, I thought that it would be good to bury something here. Until today, I finally have one. "
"Haha …" Ju Qijian laughed maniacally. Following which, his aura exploded and a suppressive aura swept towards Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji felt this powerful aura and instantly frowned, "I didn't think that you would actually step into the Earth Realm and reach Yuan Dan Stage Level 1."
The longsword on Ju Qijian's back drew an arc in the air and landed in his hands, "You guessed correctly. Is it out of your expectations? Or should I say that I made you afraid? I believe that since you have the guts to lure me here, you should have already advanced to the Transcending Mortality Stage right? A mortal with trashy spiritual roots like you actually advanced to the Transcending Mortality Stage. That's not simple. "
"You don't need to tell me. I will find it on your body myself …" As he spoke, the longsword in Ju Qijian's hand had already transformed into a sword screen that enveloped Mo Wuji.
Ju Qijian's entire body seemed to be sublimated within this sword screen as he charged into the sky, "When you die, I will find a scapegoat for you. No matter what, he's still a State Protector Mage of a state so you don't have to worry about no one accompanying you on the road to the Yellow Springs …"
The moment Zhu Kaifu did not follow, Ju Qijian's killing intent towards this person grew. Zhu Kaifu actually dared to play such petty tricks in front of him. A mere Yuan Dan Stage cultivator was nothing in the eyes of a Heaven Seeking Palace inner disciple like him.
"Sword technique? I know it too. "Mo Wuji flicked his hand. Even though he did not have a longsword in his hand, sword radiance after sword radiance was shot out. These sword radiance landed on Ju Qijian's sword screen, tearing the originally flawless sword screen into pieces and scattering it.
"What sword technique is this?" Ju Qijian looked at the empty handed Mo Wuji and was incomparably shocked. His sword screen was originally a sword technique and the sword screen was just a facade. He did not expect that before his sword technique could fully display its might, it was broken by Mo Wuji's bare hands.
That's not right. Ju Qijian immediately thought of something else. Mo Wuji should have just advanced into the Transcending Mortality Stage and was only at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1. Even if Mo Wuji had a sword technique that specifically countered him, Mo Wuji shouldn't have the ability to display it in front of him.
