Axe-Lord felt a deep sense of helplessness rising in his heart. Even though he hadn't sensed any killing intent radiating from Mo Wuji, he was sure that Mo Wuji wasn't lying. If he had known that Mo Wuji dared to hit even Meng Tianyu, and even dared to take Meng Tianyu's magical treasure, he would have been crazy to provoke Mo Wuji.

Whether he spoke or not, it was still a dead end. If he didn't speak, he would die now. If he spoke and Mo Wuji didn't go, he would still die.

Thinking of this, Axe-Lord gritted his teeth and simply said directly, "Fellow Daoist Mo, that's right, I was indeed lying to you. The truth is, it's not me who wants you to go out, but my superior. You should know that every time the Immortal Realm comes to trade for Black Stones, they trade with Guang Quan. I accidentally got acquainted with one of the people from the Immortal Realm. That person wanted me to privately acquire Black Stones and then sell them to him personally. Last time, because I compensated you with some Fragmented Spirit Stones, I didn't have the ability to continue acquiring Black Stones. That person wants you to see him."

Mo Wuji said calmly, "You're afraid that if I don't go to see him, he'll take your life, so you want to trick me out, is that right?"

"That's right." Axe-Lord, having already given up, could only tell the truth.

"What's his name? Can you roughly know his cultivation level?" Mo Wuji wasn't surprised at all by Hong Fuye's idea. If it were anyone else, Hong Fuye's thinking would indeed be correct. But he wasn't anyone else. He happened to need a large number of Fragmented Spirit Stones. It would be best if a Celestial Realm immortal came directly to trade with him.

As long as the other party's cultivation wasn't too much higher than his, his life wouldn't be threatened. At worst, he could escape into the Death Mineral Area. Unless the other party's cultivation was far higher than his, leaving him no chance to escape.

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, which seemed to indicate that he was considering going, Hong Fuye immediately said, "His name is Gong Hou, and his cultivation should be at the Celestial Immortal level. It's rumored that the highest cultivation on the other side of the Immortal Chasm is only Celestial Immortal Perfection. As for the reason, it should be related to Black Stones."

"Oh, do you know the purpose of Black Stones?" Mo Wuji immediately became interested. Knowing that the other party was a Celestial Immortal cultivator, he was even less afraid.

Hong Fuye quickly shook his head and said, "I only know that Immortals and Black Stones are related. I'm not very clear about the specific relationship."

Mo Wuji nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you now. Lead the way."

"Ah... alright, Fellow Daoist Mo, follow me." Hong Fuye was struck by a huge surprise. He hadn't expected that Mo Wuji would really dare to go with him.

Thinking about how Mo Wuji had even dared to attack Meng Tianyu before, he understood some things even more. Mo Wuji was just an ignorant youth, possessing some strength but never having seen someone stronger. This time, he would definitely let him know what a Celestial Immortal really was. Thinking that Master Gong Hou could finally avenge him, Hong Fuye's steps trembled with excitement.

Mo Wuji casually sent a flying sword message to Shopkeeper Da Shi, telling Shopkeeper Da Shi that he was going to meet the Immortal. If he didn't return within a day, he told Shopkeeper Da Shi and the others to leave Half-Immortal Domain immediately.

Shopkeeper Da Shi and the others were able to survive in Half-Immortal Domain now mainly because of him. Once he escaped, Shopkeeper Da Shi and the others would be in grave danger.

Mo Wuji had just walked to the entrance of Half-Immortal Domain with Hong Fuye when an extremely powerful Spiritual Will swept over. Mo Wuji quickly restrained his aura. This kind of powerful Spiritual Will aura was definitely not Guang Quan, nor any Earth Immortal cultivator in Half-Immortal Domain. It must be a strong cultivator from the Immortal Realm.

"Was that an Immortal Realm Immortal who came to Half-Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji asked after leaving Half-Immortal Domain.

Hong Fuye nodded. "That's right. This kind of trade usually happens once every six months to a year. The Spiritual Will that swept over us just now was from a strong cultivator from the Immortal Realm."

As expected, Mo Wuji felt a hint of apprehension in his heart. He was probably no match for this kind of strong cultivator. It seemed that his Earth Immortal Level 5 strength could only make him a king in Half-Immortal Domain. He still needed to be careful when encountering a real Celestial Immortal powerhouse.

...

Axe-Lord was worried that Mo Wuji would change his mind halfway, so he almost pushed his flying treasure to its limit. Mo Wuji's flying car was refined by Shopkeeper Da Shi using a whole piece of Immortal Sunflower Refined Gold. No matter how fast Axe-Lord was, he could easily keep up. This made Axe-Lord even more vigilant. If he was chased by Mo Wuji outside, he would probably have a hard time escaping.

Half a day later, Axe-Lord stopped, and Mo Wuji also put away his flying car. He saw a gray-clothed man sitting cross-legged on a huge Black Stone. The gray-clothed man had lowered his eyes, and his aura was restrained. Mo Wuji's Spiritual Will couldn't detect even a trace of his cultivation.

This person must be the Immortal Realm strong cultivator who traded with Axe-Lord. Mo Wuji was calm on the surface, without even a hint of spiritual rhyme or Yuan energy fluctuation. But his Spirit Storage Channel and Yuan Storage Channel had already been operating at their peak, ready to unleash their greatest potential at any time.

"Master Gong, I've brought Mo Wuji here. Is this the person?" Hong Fuye stepped forward and knelt on the ground, his tone humble and respectful. Mo Wuji could even hear a sense of relief in his tone.

"You're Mo Wuji? The newcomer who robbed Hong Fuye of Black Stones and Half-Immortal Stones?" Gong Hou raised his head and looked at Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji stared at the Immortal in front of him. His narrow eyes and short, collapsed nose were extremely ugly.

"That's right, I'm Mo Wuji. The Half-Immortal Stones were what I deserved for selling Black Stones to Hong Fuye. As for robbery, although I, Mo Wuji, am not rich, I'm not so despicable as to do such a thing." Mo Wuji cupped his fists and said calmly. He wasn't going to kneel to this person like Hong Fuye. He, Mo Wuji, had never knelt to anyone except his parents. Was a mere Celestial Immortal, even a fake Immortal as Shopkeeper Da Shi had said, worthy of him, Mo Wuji, kneeling?

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Hong Fuye trembled and quickly said, "Master Gong, because Mo Wuji robbed me of my Half-Immortal Stones, I no longer have any Half-Immortal Stones to buy Black Stones, so I have no way to collect Black Stones for you, Master."

Originally, he still had some Black Stones, but in order to persuade Guang Quan to allow him to deal with Mo Wuji last time, they all ended up in Guang Quan's pocket.

Gong Hou nodded and said kindly to Hong Fuye, "It's not your fault. You've worked hard these years. Go..."

As he said the last two words, Hong Fuye felt a chill all over his body, and a sense of death permeated from the bottom of his heart. He immediately understood that Gong Hou was going to kill him. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else. His Yuan energy surged, and he was about to escape.

"Boom!" A dark light flashed, and Hong Fuye was blasted into a pile of coke by the dark light without even letting out a miserable scream.

Although Mo Wuji didn't have any Spiritual Will or Yuan energy fluctuations, he clearly felt the strength of this Master Gong. He was definitely stronger than him. The Yuan energy enveloping him seemed to exceed the scope of ordinary Yuan energy. Could this be the rumored Immortal Yuan?

Pity the once mighty Axe-Lord, who disappeared from this world in the blink of an eye.

"Mo Wuji, do you know why I killed him?" After killing Hong Fuye, Gong Hou asked Mo Wuji calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Mo Wuji sneered in his heart, wanting to give me a show of power through this? You, a mere fake Immortal, are not qualified enough.

"Why you want to kill him has nothing to do with me. If you don't have anything else, I won't keep you company." Mo Wuji said that he wouldn't keep him company, but his footsteps didn't move at all, and even his expression didn't change in the slightest.

Gong Hou laughed. "Not bad, you have guts. From the time you arrived here until now, you haven't had any Yuan energy defense around your body. You didn't kneel when you saw me, and even your tone is so strong. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"

Mo Wuji said calmly, "You can try, but I also have to say that if you try, we will have no chance for cooperation. I never cooperate with someone who wants to kill me."

After saying this, there was finally a trace of Yuan energy fluctuation around Mo Wuji's body. This fluctuation was still not obvious, just like a calm lake with a slight breeze.

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Gong Hou's anger suddenly rose. He slowly raised his hand. He didn't attack, but there was a green pill in his palm.

"Swallow this pill, and I'll talk to you about cooperation." After saying this, Gong Hou flicked the pill in his hand directly at Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji didn't even catch it and flicked the pill back again. "I never cooperate with people under threat. If Fellow Daoist Gong continues to talk like this, I won't keep you company."

Then Mo Wuji's figure flashed and appeared dozens of feet away.

"Top-level Wind Escape Technique?" Gong Hou's narrow eyes narrowed even more. "No wonder he speaks so impetuously. He has some skills. Tell me, how do you want to trade? How many Black Stones can you provide me?"

Hearing Gong Hou's words, Mo Wuji stopped and said lightly, "That depends on how many Spirit Stones you can provide me. If you provide Spirit Stones of a good enough grade and a large enough quantity, I wouldn't mind even eating poison pills that require regular antidotes. For example, the green poison pill you just took out."

"Haha, interesting." Gong Hou laughed. It was the first time he had seen such a reckless guy who valued profit above all else. This was a typical case of wanting money more than life.

Seeming to know Gong Hou's thoughts, Mo Wuji said calmly, "You guessed right, I'm the kind of person who wants money more than life. It just depends on whether you have the strength to make me do that."

"Hong Fuye provided me with thousands of Black Stones a year. Now I want ten thousand to twenty thousand. Do you have that too?" Gong Hou's narrow eyes became sharper and sharper, staring intently at Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji said without any fluctuation, "Ten thousand to twenty thousand has the price of ten thousand to twenty thousand, and one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand has the price of one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand. If you only want a few thousand Black Stones, I really don't want to do this business with you."

"What, you can get one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand Black Stones?" Gong Hou, who had always thought he was in control, suddenly stood up from the Black Stone, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He needed to know that a few thousand Black Stones was already a huge amount, let alone tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands? In fact, Hong Fuye only provided him with a maximum of one thousand to two thousand Black Stones each year.
