Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 496 The Incident at the River of No Birth
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji grabbed the crystal ball and said, "I'll consider your three conditions fulfilled."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Mo. From now on, whenever Fellow Daoist Mo comes to my Yingbian City, you'll be my most honored guest," Bi Kang said, knowing that this calamity had passed and Mo Wuji didn't intend to kill him completely.
Mo Wuji ignored Bi Kang's insincere words and turned his attention to Hong Ju. "Hong Ju, you've stayed in Yingbian City the longest. I need to ask you a few questions."
Hong Ju quickly stood up and said, "Please ask, Fellow Daoist Mo. Hong Ju will answer everything he knows."
Hong Ju, a Golden Immortal cultivator, was extremely respectful to Mo Wuji, and Bi Kang and Hu Ming didn't look down on him in the slightest. With Mo Wuji's current strength, he could kill them with a wave of his hand. If they weren't respectful, they'd be courting death.
Mo Wuji said expressionlessly, "First question: The immortal lattice stones mined in the Half Immortal Domain are mainly supplied to the Immortal Domain. There's also a kind of sharp wood aura in the Half Immortal Domain. If you stay in the Half Immortal Domain for too long without resolving this aura, you'll gradually become petrified by the sharp wood aura. I heard that a pill called the Dissolving Wood Pill has appeared in the Half Immortal Domain to resolve this aura."
Speaking of this, Mo Wuji deliberately raised his voice sternly. "This Dissolving Wood Pill requires a Golden-attributed alchemist to refine it. I investigated in the Half Immortal Domain and found that there are no Golden-attributed alchemists at all. I also investigated these pills, and they come from here. Now tell me, are these Golden-attributed alchemists all in Yingbian City?"
As Mo Wuji raised his voice, Hong Ju subconsciously shuddered. He even felt Mo Wuji's killing intent. Even though he had just sat down, he was so frightened by Mo Wuji's words that he stood up again, cupped his fists, and said, "What Fellow Daoist Mo said is true. Those Dissolving Wood Pills were indeed supplied by Yingbian City.
"Those Golden-attributed alchemists are not in Yingbian City because refining the Dissolving Wood Pill damages lifespan and essence blood. Moreover, Golden-attributed alchemists are already extremely rare. Therefore, the Immortal Realm used means to find Golden-attributed alchemists on various low-level cultivation planets. After these alchemists were brought to Yongying Horn, they were sent to the real Immortal Realm for cultivation. Even the City Lord and I don't know where they are."
Hong Ju not only answered Mo Wuji's question but also answered the questions that Mo Wuji hadn't asked.
Hearing Hong Ju's answer, Mo Wuji knew that he wouldn't be able to find out about the Golden-attributed alchemists here. Hong Ju's words were clearly true.
Mo Wuji nodded. "Second question: Is the entry of Great Circle Earth Immortals from various star spaces into the Half Immortal Domain related to the Immortal Realm?"
Hong Ju quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Mo, I really don't know about this."
Seeing Mo Wuji's gaze sweep over, Bi Kang and Hu Ming also hurriedly stated, "Fellow Daoist Mo, we don't know about this either."
Mo Wuji didn't press further. He believed that Yingbian City was just a small ant, and it was normal for them not to know about these things.
"Third question: I once saw Yongying Prison. It seems that some top geniuses are imprisoned inside. What's going on?"
As soon as Mo Wuji asked this question, he felt the complexions of Hong Ju, Bi Kang, and the others turn pale. He suddenly had a feeling that he shouldn't have asked this question.
After a long silence, Hong Ju said in a trembling voice, "There is indeed such a thing. I've only heard about it, but such things are not something that small ants like us can know. Even if Fellow Daoist Mo kills us, I wouldn't know the specific reason. At the same time, I, Hong Ju, swear that if I ever reveal Fellow Daoist Mo's question, I, Hong Ju, will definitely die under the tribulation lightning, with no chance of reincarnation."
As soon as Hong Ju finished swearing, Bi Kang and Hu Ming quickly stood up and swore, stating that they would definitely not reveal the question that Mo Wuji had asked today.
Mo Wuji's heart sank. He knew that he shouldn't have asked that question. After asking it, the best way was to kill everyone to silence them. Hong Ju actually made a poisonous oath in advance, and with his nature, killing these three people in front of him now was really not his intention.
Mo Wuji didn't dwell on this matter and continued to ask, "Fourth question: Who told Yingbian City that I have a large number of immortal lattice stones and that Lou Chuanhe has a Crossing Immortal Warship?"
Hong Ju seemed to sense that Mo Wuji had suppressed his killing intent and didn't dare to hide anything. He immediately replied, "It's Kou Yuan, he…"
"Absolutely impossible!" Mo Wuji interrupted Hong Ju without hesitation. He had an intuition about Kou Yuan's character, and he believed that Kou Yuan wouldn't betray him. Kou Yuan became friends with him entirely based on his heart.
Hong Ju hurriedly explained, "Although Kou Yuan is very talented, he doesn't belong to the kind of top genius. The reason why he was able to transcend the tribulation and advance to Celestial Immortal in the Half Immortal Domain was because Luo Yun tampered with it. Luo Yun concealed the divine will of a Golden Immortal in his mind. After Kou Yuan came to Yongying Horn, that divine will took the opportunity to seize Kou Yuan's body when he was fighting with someone…"
"Where is Kou Yuan now?" Mo Wuji's killing intent was no longer concealed. If he didn't kill this guy who seized Kou Yuan's body, he wouldn't feel good.
"Kou Yuan has already entered the Immortal Realm," Hong Ju replied carefully.
"Is that Crossing Immortal Warship on Kou Yuan?" Mo Wuji snorted and could only suppress his killing intent.
Hong Ju quickly said, "No, Kou Yuan seems to have colluded with another person from the Half Immortal Domain. The Crossing Immortal Warship seems to be the condition of their collusion, so the Crossing Immortal Warship was taken away by another person."
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Sure enough, wealth moves people's hearts. For some cultivators, even the best of friends would be blinded by treasures. Not to mention that their combination was only a temporary cooperation.
Mo Wuji wasn't in the mood to stay any longer. He stood up and said coldly, "Originally, I was going to kill everyone to silence them today, but unfortunately, I'm not a good person to kill. Since I promised the conditions, I won't take action again. I hope you guys don't give me a reason to take action, or else I will definitely come a third time."
After saying these words, Mo Wuji stepped out of Yingbian City's guest hall and disappeared without a trace.
Bi Kang went from anger to even more anger, to helplessness, to resignation… If at the beginning, Mo Wuji had come and left so arrogantly, he would have tried everything to kill Mo Wuji. At this time, he seemed very calm. Yingbian City was just a base for him. After a while, he would leave Yingbian City, and everything here would have nothing to do with him.
As soon as Mo Wuji left, Hong Ju stood up. He stayed in Yingbian City because he was sure that Mo Wuji wouldn't come back to kill him. Now that Mo Wuji had actually returned a second time, if he hadn't cooperated well, he would have ended up like Lao Cai today. He would definitely not stay in Yingbian City anymore. He had to leave here. He had escaped from Mo Wuji twice. Who knew if there would be a third time?
……
After blasting away Yingbian City's protective formation a second time and destroying the teleportation formation from Yingbian City to the Immortal Realm, Mo Wuji didn't bother to care about how the Immortal Realm would react.
At this time, he was wandering around Yongying Horn, which created a very strange phenomenon in Yongying Horn. Originally, Mo Wuji's wanted posters were hung outside the major markets and cultivation cities of Yongying Horn. However, after Mo Wuji arrived at a place and walked past his own wanted poster, no matter how many people were around, they seemed not to see him. Some people would even stop and respectfully salute Mo Wuji. Whenever Mo Wuji left this place again, the wanted poster would disappear without a trace.
Later on, some markets and cultivation cities, knowing that Mo Wuji was currently wandering around Yongying Horn with nothing to do, simply took down all of Mo Wuji's wanted posters.
……
After wandering around Yongying Horn for three or four months, Mo Wuji came to the River of No Life again.
In the past few months, he had met some cultivators from the Half Immortal Domain, but he didn't see Bian Shuangbi, Qu Yang, or other acquaintances. As for the whereabouts of Grandmaster Pu Zi, there was no trace at all.
Moreover, Mo Wuji felt that his strength could break through to the Golden Immortal realm at any time. The cultivation resources in Yongying Horn were indeed limited. Mo Wuji decided to leave Yongying Horn and go to the Immortal Realm.
Originally, Mo Wuji planned to come to the River of No Life, enter the bottom of the River of No Life, and then enter the Immortal Realm from that golden Immortal Ascending Ladder. However, when Mo Wuji stood by the River of No Life again, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The River of No Life had always been incomparably calm. It was precisely because of this calmness that it highlighted the River of No Life's vastness. As for the bottom of the River of No Life, it was even more of a dead silence. It could be said that other than the last time he saw those two peerless experts fighting at the bottom of the River of No Life, there had been no other movements.
But at this moment, the surface of the River of No Life was churning and roaring. Even the raging sea didn't have this kind of violent churning waves.
In the sound of the rushing waves, Mo Wuji even felt a strong and profound aura.
Mo Wuji didn't quite believe that someone was fighting at the bottom of the River of No Life, because this kind of wave seemed not to be caused by fighting…
Something wasn't right, Mo Wuji seemed to have thought of something.
The surface of the River of No Life was so wide and boundless that even if there was a slight breeze, it wouldn't be as calm as death. Before, when he came to the River of No Life with Ku Ya and the others, he was always worried about who the traitor was, and he didn't think of this.
The River of No Life was now surging and roaring, and it didn't seem like a normal River of No Life either. According to conventional thinking, in this kind of calm weather, even if there were some fluctuations on the surface of the River of No Life, it wouldn't be this turbulent.
Something seemed to have happened to the River of No Life.
Just as Mo Wuji thought of this, he saw several flying magical treasures rushing over rapidly and soon landed on the edge of the River of No Life.
