"Where is that itinerant cultivator?" Xia Mu's expression was ugly, but he didn't believe that Ceng Houyi would do such a thing.
Rode sighed. "This rumor came from the lobby of a restaurant. At that time, there were too many people in the restaurant. Everyone only knew about the rumor, but no one paid attention to who said it."
At this point, Rode paused for a moment, "Young Master, I heard from Shaoyin that Rogue Cultivator 2705's aptitude is very poor. A person with poor talent was able to defeat Shao Yin, who was ranked first on the Mortal Ranking List, at the Transcending Mortality Stage. This showed that this person must have a big secret. If Elder Zeng is aware of his secret, it's hard to say. "
Gu Shaoyin suddenly quivered. He was somewhat glad that he had left early. If he had left a little later, he might have been silenced.
Xia Mu was starting to believe Rode's words. Seeing this, Rode added fuel to the fire, "Rogue Cultivator 2705's contribution points are so high, and he's always at the top of the leaderboards. Why doesn't he show up for such a big event? I'm afraid that this person is worried that his secret will be discovered. If it wasn't for Cen Shuyin, we wouldn't have been able to find him. "
The hatred in Xia Mu's heart grew. Ceng Houyi was a member of his Xia Clan, but he actually coveted the treasure. After killing Rogue Cultivator 2705, he didn't return the treasure to the Xia Clan, and instead rebelled against the Xia Clan. He truly deserved to be killed.
"Forget it, let's prepare to go to the Heaven Seeking Palace and climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase before returning to the Zhen Mo Continent," Xia Mu's expression changed a few times before he sighed and said.
Ceng Houyi's cultivation was almost at the half-step Immortal King Realm. If he went out, no one around him would be able to restrain him. Protector Xu could kill Ceng Houyi in an instant, but Protector Xu was a Worldly Immortal King and not a retainer of the Xia Clan. He wasn't someone that Xia Clan could command.
If it was for official business, Protector Xu might have helped him a little. Because of his personal matters, Protector Xu might not even bother to pay attention to him. It was better for him not to go looking for boring things, lest he hit a wall.
As for Ceng Houyi being killed, he didn't even think about it. There was someone in the Lost Continent who could kill Ceng Houyi? Stop joking. If there really was such an expert, why didn't he appear when the Hundred Sect Alliance was on the verge of destruction?
…
At this moment, Mo Wuji was on his way to the Yu Lin Lei Clan. He believed that no matter how much Xia Mu trusted Ceng Houyi, he would still be suspicious of Ceng Houyi's disappearance. This was because no one in the Lost Continent was able to suppress Ceng Houyi. Perhaps even the Heaven Seeking Palace did not know how strong that white moustached fisherman was.
The only thing that puzzled Mo Wuji was that the white moustached fisherman's strength, was he really a Worldly Immortal King?
Wasn't it said that it was extremely difficult to even enter the True God Stage in the Lost Continent? How could there be a Worldly Immortal King?
Mo Wuji thought of the Heaven Seeking Palace's Heaven Seeking Staircase, and thought to himself: If there's something like the Heaven Seeking Staircase, why can't there be a Worldly Immortal King? Perhaps it came from somewhere else.
Fortunately, Cen Shuyin was taken away by the white-bearded elder. He could only hope that the white-bearded elder could save Cen Shuyin's life. No matter what, after he established the Tian Ji Sect, he would go to the Heaven Seeking Palace to ask about Cen Shuyin.
…
Yu Lin was a region. It was neither a feudal state nor a prefectural state. Although Yu Lin was at the border of Xing Han Empire and Tian Shang Empire, it was not under the jurisdiction of either empire.
There was a huge clan here, called the Yu Lin Lei Clan.
The Lei Clan's history was even longer than some of the ancient sects. It was said that during the ancient times, the Lei Clan was one of the top clans, with a large number of True God Stage cultivators.
It was only in recent years that the Lei Clan gradually declined. Even so, the Lei Clan was still the top Earth sect here. As the number of genius disciples in the Lei Clan increased, there was hope for the Lei Clan to return to the ranks of Quasi-Heaven sects.
In the Yu Lin region, the Lei Clan represented one thing. Whatever this thing said, everyone in Yu Lin had to do.
No one dared to go against the Lei Clan, including some of the Earth sects.
Among all the clans, the Lei Clan's battle power was the strongest among cultivators of the same stage. This was because the Lei Clan had inherited lightning spiritual roots. Once such spiritual roots appeared, one would be one of the top experts, with almost no opponents in the same stage.
The Lei Clan's surname was said to have originated from the lightning spiritual roots, and had been used till now.
Li Yi was a small town at the border of Yu Lin region. Because of the Yu Lin Lei Clan's strength, Li Yi town had always been prosperous. Other than the Lei Clan's disciples, there were almost no horse bandits or cultivators who dared to cause trouble here.
Mo Wuji, who had disguised himself as an ordinary middle-aged rogue cultivator, walked into Li Yi Town. In this place, there were almost no signs of alien cultivators invading.
Mo Wuji walked into a restaurant, and casually ordered a flask of wine in the restaurant's first floor hall. He originally wanted to find the waiter to ask for some information, but he overheard two people talking about Lei Hongji. Unfortunately, the two of them only discussed for a short while before they changed the topic to another place.
Mo Wuji gave up on asking the waiter for information, and carried his flask of wine to the two people's table. He casually clasped his fists and said, "My two friends, if you don't mind, this meal is on me."
The two of them did not even recognise Mo Wuji, and when they heard Mo Wuji's words, they looked at Mo Wuji in surprise. It was fine to treat people to a drink, but there should be a reason, right?
"My two friends, you don't have to think too much, because my favourite genius is Lei Clan's Senior Lei Hongji. To think that Senior Lei Hongji is actually a peak grade lightning-type cultivator at such a young age. Even in my Lost Continent, there aren't many like him. I believe that Senior Lei Hongji joining the Great Evolution Sect is not because the Great Evolution Sect has increased his glory, but because he has increased the glory of the Great Evolution Sect. Oh right, I just heard from my two friends that Senior Lei Hongji has already passed the selection, and is going to the Zhen Mo Continent? "Mo Wuji acted as though he had found a common topic, and the moment he sat down, he started talking non-stop.
The two cultivators who were discussing Lei Hongji heard Mo Wuji's words, and instantly understood. In a place like Yu Lin, Lei Clan's Lei Hongji had a large number of fans.
The slightly plump cultivator clapped his hands and said, "My friend is right. Senior Lei Hongji passed three rounds consecutively, and is now a genius that can head to the Zhen Mo Continent. I even heard that when the Worldly Immortal King of the Zhen Mo Continent heard that Senior Lei Hongji had peak grade lightning spiritual roots, he specially praised him. He said that with such spiritual roots, even if he didn't pass the selection, he would still be qualified to head to the Zhen Mo Continent. "
"Great!" Mo Wuji imitated the slightly plump cultivator by clapping his hands, and praised loudly. After which, he said dejectedly, "It's a pity that I didn't go to Yan City Plaza. Otherwise, I would have been able to witness Senior Lei's peerless charm, how cool would that have been."
The two did not know what cool meant, but they were sure that it was a compliment. The other cultivator with fair skin nodded, and said in agreement, "My friend is right, but now many people are heading to the Heaven Seeking Palace, and Senior Lei has also gone. If my friend goes to the Heaven Seeking Palace now, you might even be able to see Senior Lei from afar. "
"Why do we have to go to the Heaven Seeking Palace?" Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked. He originally wanted to find out more about the Lei Clan, but he found out that everyone was going to the Heaven Seeking Palace. Could it be that his plan to shift the blame had failed?
The pale cultivator chuckled, "It seems like my friend still doesn't know, but the Zhen Mo Continent's Star King Mountain's special envoy really admires the Heaven Seeking Palace's Heaven Seeking Staircase. So he wants to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase, and see if he can take first place. At the same time, all the geniuses heading to the Zhen Mo Continent must climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase once. This is to determine everyone's development potential. Senior Lei entered the top 100 in the competition, so naturally he would head to the Heaven Seeking Palace. "
Hearing that it was the Heaven Seeking Staircase, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, and asked in surprise, "Then are the Lei Clan's experts all going to the Heaven Seeking Palace?"
The slightly plump cultivator shook his head, "It's the opposite, the Lei Clan's experts won't be going."
"Why? Senior Lei Hongji is the Lei Clan's number one genius, why isn't anyone going? This is too disrespectful. "Mo Wuji put on an indignant look, and said passionately.
The slightly plump cultivator chuckled, "My friend is really a passionate person. Let me tell you the truth, the third day of next month will be the Lei Clan's ancestor's incense burning day, and all the Lei Clan's disciples must come back to pray."
When Mo Wuji heard this, he was ecstatic. Even the heavens wanted to annihilate the Lei Clan, giving him such a good opportunity.
"Then is Lei Hongji coming back?" Mo Wuji asked blankly.
The slightly plump cultivator said, "Originally, we were going to return but the Zhen Mo Continent's special envoy casually said that the selected 100 disciples are not allowed to leave the team. Once they leave the team, they would be considered to have quit. Lei Clan Head could only allow Senior Lei Hongji to temporarily not return and follow the Zhen Mo Continent group to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase. "
"I heard that Lei Clan Head is already in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. I'm not sure if that's true." Mo Wuji lied.
"Keke, that's where you're wrong. I've heard that the Lei Clan's Patriarch is at Nihility God Stage Level 3. The true Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage is the Lei Clan's number one elder, Senior Lei Guang." The slightly plump cultivator chuckled. He was very satisfied that he was able to educate Mo Wuji.
"Haha … Looks like I was too focused on Lei Hongji, so I didn't pay attention to other things. Come, let's drink. "With that, Mo Wuji picked up the cup in front of him and drained it in one gulp.
The other two were moved by Mo Wuji's forthrightness, and they also raised their cups and drained it in one gulp.
…
The Heaven Seeking Palace had once again regained its former bustle and liveliness, and the Heaven Seeking Staircase was even more packed. Many people had rushed over from Yan City Plaza, specially to watch the Lost Continent's experts climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Moreover, everyone had heard that the Zhen Mo Continent's special envoy would also be participating in the climb.
Thus, the Heaven Seeking Palace was open to the public these few days. Anyone could enter the Heaven Seeking Palace and arrive at the Heaven Seeking Staircase Plaza. Of course, they could only come to the Heaven Seeking Staircase Plaza, and could not go anywhere else.
The Heaven Seeking Board in front of the Heaven Seeking Staircase was covered by a huge red cloth, waiting for the Zhen Mo Continent's special envoy to announce the start of the climb.
Xia Mu stood on the Heaven Seeking Staircase Plaza, and lifted his head to look at the Heaven Seeking Staircase that he could not see the top. His heart was suddenly filled with an impulse and pride. He wanted to climb to the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase, so that his name would always be number one on the Heaven Seeking Staircase Board. He wanted the Lost Continent's future geniuses to think of him first when they come here.
"Take off the red cloth, and reveal the Heaven Seeking Board." Xia Mu waved his hand in high spirits, and the blow from a few days ago was thrown to one side.
The red cloth was swept away by a strong gust of wind. After the Heaven Seeking Board's rankings were revealed, the plaza below the Heaven Seeking Staircase was instantly filled with gasps of surprise.
