Mo Wuji didn't want to provoke anyone right now, so why would he follow Murong Xiangyu? He pretended to be dumbfounded for a while before sighing, "You go back first, I have a lot of things to deal with here. I'll find time to come to you after I'm done."
After saying that, he also said to Ji Yue, "Junior Sister Yue, you should go back first too. I have a few things to tell Tianyu."
Mo Wuji's plan was simple: get the two women out of the way so he could fly freely.
However, neither of the two women was easy to deal with. Ji Yue seemed to have noticed that Yan Ye was different from before, and even sensed that once she went back, it would be difficult for her to see Yan Ye again. Although she guessed that Yan Ye's change was caused by being poisoned and disheartened, she needed Yan Ye's help. If Yan Ye didn't help, how could she leave the Ji family?
Only the favor Yan Ye held for her clan could allow her to leave the Ji family, and not just leave casually, but with a suitable and reasonable excuse. She didn't expect that Yan Ye's attitude towards her would change because he was ambushed, and that woman who couldn't even be considered Yan Ye's wife would come to make trouble, casting a shadow over her plan.
"No, I don't want to go back anymore, Brother Ye, I..." Ji Yue's eyes were filled with heartbreaking anticipation as she stared at Mo Wuji, stopping short of saying what she wanted.
Mo Wuji directly ignored Ji Yue's pitiful expression. Take her to the Yan family? He, Mo Wuji, wanted to live a few more years. He was just a mere Golden Immortal ant, anyone could crush him to death. He didn't have time to deal with such nonsensical things.
"Yan Ye, you don't have to come with me. But once I leave, I believe it won't be as simple as me inviting you," Murong Xiangyu's tone was even colder.
Mo Wuji said angrily, "My Yan family is still a large family, why should we be afraid of you? If you push too hard, I'll go directly to my Yan family head."
He remembered that the current family head, Yan Qi, was Yan Ye's grandfather. This tiger skin should be useful, right?
Murong Xiangyu was silent after hearing Mo Wuji's angry words. On the other hand, Yan Tianyu beside Mo Wuji carefully whispered in Mo Wuji's ear, "The family head is in seclusion trying to break through to Immortal Reverent, and there has been no news. Junior Sister Xiangyu's sect is the Supreme Dao Sect. It is said that at its peak, there were many Immortal Emperor experts. Even the One Sword Sect can only look up to them. Even now, the Supreme Dao Sect is not inferior to the One Sword Sect..."
Mo Wuji was silent. He understood Yan Tianyu's meaning, which was that Yan Ye's grandfather, Yan Qi, was like an ant in the eyes of the Supreme Dao Sect. At the same time, he also understood that after Immortal King there was Immortal Reverent, and it seemed that Immortal Emperor was even more powerful than Immortal Reverent.
This Immortal Realm was indeed too terrifying. Anyway, he was just an ant.
"Does the Supreme Dao Sect still have Immortal Emperors now?" Mo Wuji asked cautiously.
Yan Tianyu looked at Mo Wuji with confusion. He didn't understand why Mo Wuji still had time to ask such a boring question. However, he still cautiously replied, "Although some people say no, others say yes. For such a supreme sect, who can know if there are Immortal Emperors? Moreover, the Supreme Dao Sect values supreme detachment. Junior Sister Xiangyu has only been a disciple for a short time, so she still has some emotional ties. Junior Sister Xiangyu is a six-star genius. Once you anger Junior Sister Xiangyu's master or the Supreme Dao Sect, not only will you suffer, but even my Yan family won't be able to bear it."
After saying that, Yan Tianyu's eyes showed worry. He didn't care if Murong Xiangyu ignored Yan Ye, and neither did the Yan family. But if Yan Ye dared to ignore Murong Xiangyu, that would definitely be no small matter.
Mo Wuji understood Yan Tianyu's unspoken meaning, which was that if he dared to offend Murong Xiangyu, not to mention telling Yan Qi, Yan Qi might break his legs and throw him to the Supreme Dao Sect without even being told.
Mo Wuji sighed, knowing that he was destined to be an ant. He didn't even bother to reply to Ji Yue and said faintly to Murong Xiangyu, "If that's the case, please lead the way."
He was very tempted to ask what a six-star genius was. He had seen this term in the records of the Half-Moon Prison. At that time, those imprisoned in the Half-Moon Prison were all star-level geniuses. This kind of genius seemed rare. Mo Wuji also knew that he couldn't ask. This was definitely the simplest common sense question, and if he asked, he would expose his ignorance.
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Murong Xiangyu didn't offer a single explanation and turned to leave again.
Seeing Mo Wuji follow Murong Xiangyu without a word, Ji Yue lowered her head. Her eyes turned gloomy, and an extreme anger and hatred rose from the bottom of her heart.
It was a small matter that Yan Ye hadn't mentioned his promise to enter the Unborn Secret Realm. But now, he didn't even bother to pay attention to her. Had this guy forgotten why he wanted to enter the Unborn Secret Realm? It was for her, Ji Yue.
"Miss..." Ji Yi sighed and called out softly.
Ji Yue took a deep breath, looked at the bustling spirit herb trading place in the distance, then turned to the direction where Mo Wuji disappeared and said slowly, "This person is no longer reliable. We'll take the second path."
Yan Ye, this man who dared to deceive her, she would make him never forget it. She, Ji Yue, was not someone who could be deceived by anyone, especially not a man she sincerely wanted to believe in.
However, that was just her idea. From Mo Wuji's perspective, it wasn't a man she sincerely wanted to believe in, but a man she sincerely wanted to use. According to her theory, it was Yan Ye's blessing and honor to be used by her, Ji Yue. Yet Yan Ye didn't appreciate it and dared to ignore her.
...
Mo Wuji followed Murong Xiangyu for a long time before arriving in front of a sect with a seemingly small residence. He didn't even see the signboard of the Supreme Dao Sect outside the sect.
Murong Xiangyu glanced back at Mo Wuji, took out a pill and threw it to Mo Wuji, saying faintly, "This is a Complexion Restoration Immortal Pill. Take it and follow me in."
After saying that, she took the initiative to walk into the not-so-large gate.
Mo Wuji threw the pill into his ring. He had this kind of pill himself, and it was even a bottle of top-grade pills. Did he, Mo Wuji, need a pill to restore his appearance?
His mood wasn't on restoring his appearance at the moment, but on guessing whether this was the residence of the Supreme Dao Sect. According to Yan Tianyu, this didn't seem right. How could the residence of the Supreme Dao Sect be much smaller than the residence of the Yan family? It was even hard to see if you weren't paying attention.
Even with so many doubts in his heart, Mo Wuji could only follow Murong Xiangyu into this small gate.
As soon as he entered the gate, Mo Wuji felt a chill all over his body. Then, the door behind him disappeared. Mo Wuji's first reaction was to retreat quickly. This was not a good place.
Fortunately, he calmed down in time and knew that with his status and cultivation, there was no need for them to put in so much effort to plot against him. Maybe they could just find an excuse and crush him to death. Not to mention this Murong Xiangyu's master, even Murong Xiangyu herself should be stronger than him. Mo Wuji estimated that she should at least be in the middle stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm. Against Murong Xiangyu, he only had one way out, which was to escape.
After calming down, Mo Wuji began to look around. To Mo Wuji's surprise, the inside was incredibly spacious, like a huge palace. It seemed to be a spatial treasure.
The only thing that didn't resemble a palace was that it was too monotonous, lacking the grandeur and luxury of a palace.
In the middle of the main hall, sat a fair-looking woman in purple. In Mo Wuji's opinion, this woman was only two or three years older than him at most. However, Mo Wuji was sure that this woman in purple was more than two or three years older than him, maybe even tens of thousands of years.
Murong Xiangyu stood behind this woman in purple, and beside this woman in purple sat a middle-aged man in brocade robes. Similarly, behind this middle-aged man stood a person, a handsome young man whose imposing manner obviously suppressed Mo Wuji's face full of lightning scars.
Murong Xiangyu seemed to frown slightly when she saw that Mo Wuji hadn't used her pill.
"Yan Ye, you married Xiangyu before she started her cultivation path, and you also helped Xiangyu cut off her worldly ties. If you have any requests, tell me, and I can grant them for you." The woman in purple looked at Mo Wuji, her tone indifferent without any emotion.
Grant? Mo Wuji admitted that he was a vulgar person, and he couldn't help but think of some unhealthy things. Fortunately, he immediately turned his thoughts away. These guys were all old monsters, and if they spied on his thoughts, he would die without a burial place.
Although he didn't understand why marrying Murong Xiangyu helped Murong Xiangyu cut off her worldly ties, he didn't want to figure these things out. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yan Ye greets senior. I have no requests. It is the Yan family's honor and my dream to help Fairy Xiangyu cut off her worldly ties."
Requests my ass. For Mo Wuji, the greatest request now was to let him go. What detachment, what cutting off, it was none of his business.
Hearing Mo Wuji's answer, the woman in purple was obviously pleased with Mo Wuji's lack of desire. She nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I have another matter that requires your agreement today."
"Senior, please instruct me. If there is anything I, Yan Ye, can help with, I, Yan Ye, will go through fire and water without hesitation." Mo Wuji only thumped his chest, attributing everything to Yan Ye. He just wanted to get away as soon as possible.
"Very good. As the saying goes, 'he who tied the bell must untie it.' You and Xiangyu were childhood sweethearts. Before Xiangyu cut off her worldly ties, you also helped Xiangyu achieve a flawless Dao connection. Now it's time to completely sever this karma..."
When the woman in purple said this, Mo Wuji completely understood. It turned out that Yan Ye and Murong Xiangyu were childhood sweethearts. Murong Xiangyu was later favored by the Supreme Dao Sect. Before Murong Xiangyu began cultivating the Dao, her childhood sweetheart relationship with Yan Ye became a shackle in Murong Xiangyu's heart. Therefore, Yan Ye had to stand up and marry Murong Xiangyu to untie the shackle in Murong Xiangyu's heart.
If he wasn't mistaken, then the reason he was brought here today was to have him take the initiative to dissolve the karma of marriage between him and Murong Xiangyu, completely releasing Murong Xiangyu's Dao heart.
