Chapter 728 The Ruthless Woman
Under the lingering power of Kui Fengyun, he truly didn't dare to escape. Although he knew that going to Yong Ying Immortal City meant certain death, he still held onto a sliver of hope that Kui Fengyun wouldn't kill him. Once he escaped, it would be difficult for him, a mere Immortal King, to escape Kui Fengyun's pursuit. If he were caught, it would be worse than death.
That was why he had never dared to escape.
Now, Tan Liang's words had warned him that if he didn't escape, his fantasy might not come true.
Tan Liang also stood up. "Brother Wen, since we've decided to escape, let's plan our strategy. In Ying Shui Immortal City, there are two Immortal Kings in the late stage, and there's a killing formation that seals off the entire city. Once we alert them and the formation is activated, even if we had an Immortal Reverent, we wouldn't be able to leave Ying Shui Immortal City. My idea is to invite those two Immortal Kings to the city lord's mansion as guests, and then..."
Tan Liang's tone carried a hint of ruthlessness. As long as they killed the two Immortal Kings, everything else would be easy.
...
"Get out of the way!" Mo Wuji had just brought Su Rou'er and Dou Hualong to the ruins when a cultivator urgently threw a punch at Mo Wuji, trying to blast Mo Wuji out of his way.
But as soon as his fist was thrown, it was grabbed by Mo Wuji, and then Mo Wuji kicked him out. The cultivator spat out blood and was kicked away by Mo Wuji.
But at this moment, no one cared about these things. The hidden protective formation had been broken, and everyone was frantically rushing into the ruins. Who would care about anything else?
Mo Wuji had already sensed the aura of the Luo Book, and the others had also sensed it.
These ruins were no smaller than the Shattered Ruins on the third level of the Shattered World. Because the aura of the Luo Book was too clear, almost everyone rushed towards the same direction without hesitation.
Soon, everyone gathered together again, stopping in front of a temple. Outside the temple, there was a defensive formation protecting it, and in front of the temple gate were several mottled and ancient characters: Luo Shen Temple.
The aura of the Luo Book was emanating from this temple, but divine sense could not penetrate it.
"The Luo Book is in this temple, and there's more than one chapter..."
"Let's attack together. This defensive formation is much weaker than the one outside."
"How will the Luo Book be distributed once the formation is opened?"
...
The crowd was discussing, and as more and more people arrived, no one actually attacked the protective formation.
"Big Brother, these people all want to reap the benefits without sowing." Dou Hualong's injuries had completely recovered at this moment. Being with Mo Wuji, he no longer felt worried or afraid.
In his eyes, there was nothing that Big Brother couldn't solve.
Before Mo Wuji could speak, a voice coldly said, "Get out of the way, I'll attack."
The crowd automatically parted. At this time, someone taking the initiative to attack the temple's protective formation was something everyone was happy about. Who would be foolish enough to stop him?
The man who walked to the front of the temple was actually a young man. He looked very simple and honest, his long hair tied into an Immortal bun, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, and a very tall stature. It was obvious that he was a rogue cultivator.
"This guy is really stupid, too honest. He actually wants to take the initiative to attack the protective formation of the Luo Shen Temple." Dou Hualong shook his head, saying speechlessly.
Su Rou'er said, "That's not necessarily true. You can't judge many people by their appearance."
Mo Wuji waved his hand, signaling Dou Hualong not to talk too much. This young man dared to stand up and attack the temple's protective formation alone. He was definitely not the kind of fool that Dou Hualong described.
Mo Wuji could clearly feel the youth's strong immortal essence aura. He was a Great Luo Immortal at the peak stage. Moreover, he had full confidence that he could snatch the Luo Book after the Luo Shen Temple was broken open.
With this kind of confidence, he took the initiative to stand up and attack. He was definitely not an idiot.
"Hualong, Rou'er, you two retreat. I'll go attack too." Mo Wuji said without hesitation. How could he let go of something like the Luo Book that had appeared before his eyes?
This blue-clothed youth had full confidence, and Mo Wuji also had enough confidence to snatch the Luo Book.
The blue-clothed youth's magic treasure was an ancient banner. Before the ancient banner was even raised, it stirred up bursts of roaring sounds in the space.
Some knowledgeable cultivators retreated one after another. Many people could see that this youth who wanted to take the initiative to attack the Luo Shen Temple was not simple.
Mo Wuji also saw that the other party was not simple. He was just about to offer his own magic weapon when he discovered that the Luo Shen Temple's defensive protective formation actually opened automatically.
A beautiful woman with a stunning face stood in front of the Luo Shen Temple. Her immortal bearing was as if she would fly away with the wind at any moment.
Mo Wuji was immediately stunned. He knew this woman.
Not only was Mo Wuji stunned, but the others were also somewhat stunned. No one would have thought that a woman would appear in this ancient temple. Moreover, judging from the protective formation outside the ancient temple, it seemed that this woman had been in the ancient temple before the fourth level of the Shattered World was opened.
The white-clothed beautiful woman's gaze swept over the crowd. She seemed to linger on Mo Wuji for a few more breaths before slowly saying, "Everyone is here to snatch my Luo Book?"
"The Luo Book is a treasure of heaven and earth. Since everyone has encountered it, it should naturally be taken out for fair competition." A Great Luo Immortal in the early stage said without hesitation, his tone carrying a hint of desire. No matter who this woman was, he was not afraid. He came from a top-tier sect in the Gods Immortal Domain. Could a mere inexplicable woman be worthy of owning the Luo Book?
What if she was beautiful? Could that be eaten?
Before the Great Luo Immortal in the early stage could finish speaking, the surrounding space instantly turned cold, and everyone subconsciously retreated. Then, a white light shot out.
The Great Luo Immortal in the early stage felt a cold killing intent envelop him. He wanted to retreat frantically, but his body seemed to be frozen by the coldness of space. He only managed to move a little before a white streak pierced through his Purple Mansion, killing him on the spot.
"It's Zuo Lan'an..." A frightened voice rang out in the crowd.
Then, everyone subconsciously retreated. This frightened voice only said a name, but most people knew what he wanted to say. Zuo Lan'an was a disciple of the Divine Moon Immortal Sect, a top-tier immortal sect in the Gods Immortal Domain. He was very powerful. Such a powerful disciple couldn't even withstand a single move in front of this woman. How terrifying was this white-clothed woman?
Some immortals with weaker cultivation bases had already begun to retreat, preparing to leave.
"Since you've come, it's not so easy to leave, is it?" After the white-clothed woman finished speaking, she slightly shook her hands, and a large expanse of white covered the sky and the earth.
All the cultivators felt that the surroundings were freezing. At this moment, every step they took was a struggle.
Streaks of sharp light shot out, and cries of anguish rang out one after another. In just a short moment, hundreds of immortals were killed here. Only a very few Great Luo Immortals who used top-tier talismans escaped.
"Boom!" The white-clothed woman's streak of light was finally blocked. Everyone felt the surrounding frozen space loosen, and all the remaining people frantically fled outwards. Not a single person was willing to stay and take another look.
In the blink of an eye, only four people were left here.
Mo Wuji stood there without moving. Beside him were Dou Hualong and Su Rou'er.
"You're not bad, you were actually able to block my attack and resolve my frozen space." The white-clothed woman's gaze fell on the simple and honest youth who had initially prepared to attack the Luo Shen Temple's protective formation. Her attack had just been blocked by this simple and honest youth.
"You're also not bad, an Immortal King can enter the fourth level of the Shattered World." The simple and honest man didn't care about the white-clothed woman's power at all, and his tone was still calm. "Since the Luo Book has an owner, then forget it. Goodbye."
After speaking, the simple and honest youth turned around and left.
The white-clothed woman sneered, "You still want to leave?"
"Hahaha!" The simple and honest man laughed loudly, "If I, Meng Yin San, want to leave, even an Immortal Emperor can't stop me. You, a mere Immortal King, dare to stop me, Meng Yin San? If you have the guts, then stop me and see."
As he spoke, Meng Yin San's figure flashed and instantly disappeared without a trace.
Meng Yin San? Mo Wuji didn't expect to meet Meng Yin San here. Although Meng Yin San didn't recognize him, and he didn't recognize Meng Yin San either, he was too familiar with the name Meng Yin San.
This guy was captured into the Half-Moon Prison, but he actually killed the guardian of the Half-Moon Prison and walked away calmly. Based on this alone, Mo Wuji was sure that this Meng Yin San was not an ordinary person. He had an introduction about Meng Yin San in his ring, which was written by the Half-Moon Prison's director.
"Meng Yin San, a simple and honest person, a cultivator from the Red Thunder Star, advanced to the Heavenly Immortal realm on June 14th, 3111 of the Yong Ying calendar. A soil-based cultivator, a five-star genius, it took him one hundred and ninety-six years, nine months, and seventeen days from cultivation to entering the Heavenly Immortal realm. His aptitude qualified him to enter the Yong Ying Half-Moon Prison. He entered the Yong Ying Eleventh Prison, Room 31 of the Half-Moon Prison, on the same day he advanced to the Heavenly Immortal realm. On July 2nd, 3224 of the Yong Ying calendar, he swore a blood oath..."
It wasn't written any further because the director was secretly killed by Meng Yin San after writing to this point.
This white-clothed woman didn't know if she believed Meng Yin San's words, or if she was worried about something else, but she actually didn't attack.
"Mo Wuji, long time no see. Life is truly impermanent. I didn't expect us to meet in the Shattered World. You are the only man who made me regret for a few days, so I won't kill you today. I won't kill the two people beside you either. Take out the two chapters of the Luo Book that I gave you." The white-clothed woman stared at Mo Wuji calmly and said.
Mo Wuji's eyes also turned cold. He didn't expect Murong Xiangyu to be so shameless. The reason she wouldn't kill him was because he had made her regret for a few days. As for his life-saving grace to her, this woman didn't mention a single word. Obviously, she wasn't unwilling to mention it, but she simply didn't care about it at all.
People from the emotionless sect were indeed emotionless to the core. Not mentioning the life-saving grace was fine, but she even wanted to take back the reward she gave him after he saved her life, the two chapters of the Luo Book.
If Murong Xiangyu still had a little bit of emotion when he saw her last time, then this woman's blood was completely cold now.
Mo Wuji wasn't surprised that Murong Xiangyu could recognize him. Murong Xiangyu must have refined all the Luo Books. No matter how she did it, he had the aura of refining the Luo Books on him. Plus, he looked surprised when he saw her earlier. It wasn't strange that she recognized him.
