Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 865 Killing Zi Changluo
While Mo Wuji had used four punches for the three Immortal Emperors, he only needed one punch for the rest. Moreover, their attacks couldn't even tear through Mo Wuji's domain.
After five punches, three Immortal Emperors, five Immortal Reverents, and six Immortal Kings were all dead. The only one who made Mo Wuji use two punches was that late-stage Immortal Emperor.
Under Mo Wuji's powerful vortex domain, even that late-stage Immortal Emperor could only struggle a bit, forcing Mo Wuji to use one extra punch.
Five punches in one exchange, and more than a dozen experts were killed. It wasn't just about the brutal means, but some people also saw that Mo Wuji didn't want to expend even a bit of extra energy in killing these experts. Five punches, no more, no less.
The surrounding cultivators watching didn't even dare to breathe loudly. The only person they could think of was Zi Changluo, the Dao Emperor of Supreme Heaven.
Perhaps only Zi Changluo had such strength.
Thinking of Zi Changluo, some people remembered who had put a bounty on Mo Wuji's head. It was Supreme Heaven that was after Mo Wuji. Now that Mo Wuji was so strong, and Supreme Heaven was after him…
Many people foresaw an earth-shattering change in the Immortal World. This change would either be Mo Wuji's death or the overthrow of Zi Changluo's reign over the Immortal World.
Chen San stared blankly as experts turned into blood mist under Mo Wuji's fists. He watched Mo Wuji casually take away the dozen or so storage rings, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Only at this point did he understand that Mo Wuji had asked him to step aside not out of fear, but out of consideration for Chen Hu, sparing his life. Others thought only Zi Changluo possessed Mo Wuji's powerful means, but he knew that even Zi Changluo didn't have such ability. He had seen Zi Changluo once, and Zi Changluo wasn't this strong at all.
After a while, Chen San cupped his fist respectfully towards Mo Wuji and said, "Thank you, Sect Head Mo, for sparing my life. Otherwise, Chen San would have perished long ago."
Mo Wuji nodded. "Chen Hu is not a petty person. I see you as upright and forthright. Why work for Supreme Heaven, doing things against your conscience and killing the innocent?"
Chen San sighed and said, "Sect Head Mo, I had to ask the people of Supreme Heaven to search for my son, Chen Hu. That's why I had to do things I didn't want to do against my will."
As Chen San spoke, Mo Wuji's Immortal Elemental hand gathered together and suddenly grabbed. The protective array outside Dingpo Immortal City emitted cracking sounds. Under the sounds of shattering, Dingpo Immortal City seemed to have had a layer peeled off, becoming clearer. Many people inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
Chen San, being a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, naturally knew that Mo Wuji had just torn apart a protective array. To be honest, even though Wan Mi, the city lord of Dingpo Immortal City, had participated in the attack on Ping Fan Immortal Sect, he believed that Dingpo Immortal City was not at fault. If Mo Wuji were to exterminate the entire population of Dingpo Immortal City, he would find it a bit cruel.
Many knowledgeable cultivators had seen Mo Wuji's actions and were even more terrified. Most of them were very worried, fearing that Mo Wuji would disregard everything and raze Dingpo Immortal City to the ground. No one dared to sneak away; escaping in front of a powerhouse like Mo Wuji would only lead to a quicker death.
"Sect Head Mo, it was the city lord of Dingpo Immortal City, Wan Mi, and some people from his city lord's mansion who participated in the siege of Ping Fan Immortal Sect. You have already killed Wan Mi, so I would like to ask you to spare Dingpo Immortal City." Chen San was extremely worried, knowing that Mo Wuji could probably kill him with a single punch. He still braced himself to persuade Mo Wuji, as many of his people were still in Dingpo Immortal City.
Mo Wuji had no intention of razing Dingpo Immortal City to the ground. He wasn't Emperor Lun Cai. Now, hearing Chen San say that the city lord of Dingpo Immortal City, Wan Mi, had also participated in the attack on Ping Fan Immortal Sect, he immediately threw out several array flags, locking down the entire city lord's mansion.
Mo Wuji cupped his fists towards the countless surrounding cultivators and said, "Fellow Immortal Friends, I believe everyone knows who I am. Back then, I was besieged by several major sects and chased by several Great Immortal Emperors. If I hadn't been lucky, I, Mo Wuji, would no longer exist in this world. I won't say the reason for the chase, but everyone knows it was just greed."
The surroundings were silent. Who would dare to make noise when a powerhouse like Mo Wuji was speaking?
Feeling everyone's fear and apprehension towards him, Mo Wuji continued, "I, Mo Wuji, am not a brute like Lun Cai. I won't hold a grudge against everyone for no reason. My sect is Ping Fan Immortal Sect. In my sect, even ordinary mortals have their own rights. No Immortal is allowed to kill mortals. How could I attack the people of Dingpo Immortal City? Today, I am here to expose the ugly faces of certain individuals.
As for the protective array I destroyed earlier, it wasn't really a protective array. It was an Immortal Urn Array, specifically for trapping people. Back then, this Immortal Urn Array was set up for me. It didn't manage to capture me. I didn't expect this Immortal Urn Array to still be here. I removed this Immortal Urn Array not for myself, but for everyone."
Hearing that Mo Wuji hadn't destroyed Dingpo Immortal City's protective array, almost everyone felt relieved. Despite Mo Wuji's reputation being portrayed negatively by several interested sects and Supreme Heaven, in reality, there were hardly any fools who could cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal level or above.
Who would take such power struggles seriously? Didn't the Dragon Clan say that Mo Wuji had killed the Dragon Clan branch in the West Qian Sea? In the end, he wasn't the culprit but the Dragon Clan's savior. Finally, the remaining Dragon Clan disciples from the West Qian Sea came out to clarify the truth themselves. Such clarification was more powerful than any explanation.
With such a precedent, who would believe such slanderous words in the future?
"Sect Head Mo, we believe you," someone shouted from the crowd.
Compared to Supreme Heaven, more people were willing to believe Mo Wuji. The Ping Fan Immortal Sect established by Mo Wuji was something everyone had witnessed. Where in the Immortal World was everyone equal? There was only one place: Ping Fan.
The Buddhist Sect shouted the slogan of equality for all living beings. In fact, countless killings occurred in the Buddhist Domain every day. Moreover, Guang Xing of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect personally participated in intercepting and besieging Mo Wuji. Everyone knew this.
Mo Wuji softened his tone, making his voice even clearer, "I urgently need to return to Ping Fan Immortal Sect. I still need to tell everyone about several things that Zi Changluo of Supreme Heaven has done. Because I came from the Outer Heaven Universe, and not long ago, I was still in the Outer Heaven Universe."
Hearing Mo Wuji say that he had come from the Outer Heaven Universe not long ago, almost everyone fell silent.
Not many people knew about the Outer Heaven Universe before, but now almost everyone knew about it.
The reason was the propaganda from Supreme Heaven, claiming that over a hundred alien races in the Outer Heaven Universe had joined forces to deal with the Immortal World's human race. Almost all the human race in the Outer Heaven Universe had been killed. Zi Changluo, the Dao Lord of Supreme Heaven, fought desperately, saving some of the Immortal World's human race and bringing them back to Supreme Heaven.
Mo Wuji had just returned to the Immortal World and didn't know that Zi Changluo had distorted the truth in the Immortal World. His tone was still relatively calm, "Fellow Immortal Friends, Supreme Heaven represents the face of our Immortal World. In theory, it should be dedicated to protecting the human race of the Immortal World. The truth is that the human race in the Universe Corner of the Outer Heaven Universe can be killed by people of any race, and they have no dignity at all.
Do you know what Zi Changluo did? He shrank back in his lair, afraid to come out. He didn't even dare to say a word for those human Immortals in the Universe Corner who were bullied and unjustly died, let alone stand up for them. Later, when I arrived in the Universe Corner, I saw the young master of the God Race casually slaughtering human cultivators. I couldn't help but take action. I killed that young master of the God Race and also killed several God Race Immortal Emperors who were attacking me..."
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, a chorus of support arose from outside.
Mo Wuji raised his voice, "But what was Zi Changluo doing? He actually tried to curry favor with the God Race, wanting to join the God Race in putting a bounty on me. But the God Race had long wanted to occupy the only Immortal City of the human race in the Outer Heaven Universe. They simply ignored Zi Changluo's attempts to curry favor, directly surrounded the human race's Immortal City, and wanted to kill us all.
I don't know how Zi Changluo became the Dao Lord of Supreme Heaven and even controlled the entire Immortal World. I only want to say that this person is unworthy. When the God Race besieged our human race's Immortal City, when all the cultivators of our human race were fighting desperately, do you know what he did?"
Mo Wuji shouted sharply, "Zi Changluo didn't fight alongside the human race cultivators. He actually secretly escaped from the human race's Immortal City. That's not all. He even left millions of human race cultivators behind to protect him and cover his retreat. He only took a few dozen people with him and escaped. After he escaped, he closed the passage from Supreme Heaven to the Outer Heaven Universe. No one from the human race could return to the Immortal World through the passage from Supreme Heaven. This is what that brute Zi Changluo did."
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, the crowd was stirred with indignation. Many human cultivators who had gone to the Outer Heaven Universe had friends and relatives here.
Zi Changluo had told them that he was fighting desperately for the human race. The reality was the exact opposite. This was simply ironic.
"Sect Head Mo, how do you know this?" someone asked from the crowd.
Mo Wuji reached out and grabbed a crystal ball, "There were several Immortal Emperors left behind by Zi Changluo at the time. Only three were left after being killed by the God Race. These three are Empress Wen Lan of the Hanging River Immortal Sect, Dao Lord Xie Ying of the Pure Void Dao, and Sect Master Lu Ziting of the Reincarnation Soul Dao.
The three of them fought desperately. The God Race wanted to keep some human race for blood sacrifices. In the end, the three of them escaped from the Immortal City with only about a hundred thousand Immortals remaining. I am very grateful that one of the human cultivators recorded the battle footage, allowing us to remember this moment forever."
After speaking, Mo Wuji activated the crystal ball.
A tragic battle scene appeared in the air. The footage showed Lu Ziting, Empress Wen Lan, and Xie Ying leading countless human cultivators in a desperate fight. Human cultivators were constantly being killed, and millions of people were visibly decreasing before their eyes.
Zi Changluo was not seen in the footage, nor was any of those who had escaped.
"Kill Zi Changluo!"
"That shameless person!"
"Hypocrite, let's attack Supreme Heaven..."
The angry voices in the crowd grew louder and louder, finally merging into one voice: attack Supreme Heaven and kill that hypocrite, Zi Changluo.
