Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1185 A Daring Woman
Ji Yue sneered, "Just because Wuji took you in as a disciple in name only, you dare to be so unrestrained in front of me? Don't even mention you, even Wuji wouldn't speak to me with such impudence. Someone, take Lou Yueshuang to the Sea Prison to reflect for ten thousand years."
"Sect Leader, Yueshuang only offered a different suggestion. Is such a severe punishment necessary? Besides, Yueshuang is still a disciple of the founding ancestor," a middle-aged man stood up and said in a low voice.
This man was Yue Jiang, the Right Guardian Lord of the Immortal Mortal Sect, with a late-stage Immortal Emperor cultivation level. He was specifically appointed as the Right Guardian Lord by Wei Zidao after he ascended.
"Snap!" Ji Yue slapped the tea table in front of her, shattering it into pieces. "What? Do you think I'm an incapable Sect Leader? Just because Wuji isn't here, you can disregard the Sect Leader's orders at will? Someone, take Lou Yueshuang away…"
"Yueshuang is my disciple. What right do you have to imprison her?" Mo Wuji's icy voice echoed, and the entire Sect Leader's hall fell silent.
"Master…" Lou Yueshuang reacted immediately and rushed out excitedly, kneeling before Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji nodded at Lou Yueshuang with satisfaction and said, "Very good. In just over ten thousand years, you've reached the late-stage Immortal King realm, and your Dao rhythm is extremely solid. Excellent. How are Pan Jie and Pan Wu doing? Have they also come to the Immortal World?"
Even Mo Wuji hadn't expected Lou Yueshuang's cultivation to advance so quickly. Years ago, he passed by Tianwu Star and accepted Lou Yueshuang and the Pan siblings as disciples in name only, leaving behind some cultivation resources. He never imagined that Lou Yueshuang could emerge from the resource-scarce Tianwu Star and reach the Immortal King realm, even finding his Immortal Mortal Sect.
"Master…" Lou Yueshuang called out "Master" again, tears streaming down her face, too excited to speak.
"Ancestor…" The others reacted and knelt down to pay their respects.
Mo Wuji scanned the hall, sighing inwardly. In just over ten thousand years, there wasn't a single familiar face left. Where had everyone else gone, besides Lou Yueshuang?
"Brother Mo…" Ji Yue no longer dared to sit in the Sect Leader's seat. Trembling, she walked down and bowed to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji's gaze fell on Ji Yue, and he said coldly, "Who are you? What right do you have to sit in the Sect Leader's position of the Immortal Mortal Sect?"
"I…" Ji Yue wanted to say, "You used to know me! I'm Ji Yue."
But facing Mo Wuji's imposing presence, she couldn't utter a single word. Her endless feminine wiles seemed like laughable, ugly performances in front of Mo Wuji at this moment. From their very first meeting, Mo Wuji seemed to have never taken Ji Yue seriously. She constantly mentioned Wuji when he wasn't here, but now that Mo Wuji had returned, how could she dare to call him "Wuji"?
"Does anyone know where my disciples Fu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian have gone? Where is Su Zian, the original Sect Leader of the Immortal Mortal Sect? And where are Mo Qingche and Yan Li? Where are Wei Zidao, Wen Hou, Jian Mingcheng, Fei Ling, and the others?" Mo Wuji's tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable demand.
Yue Jiang, the Right Guardian Lord who had spoken up for Lou Yueshuang earlier, stepped forward, bowed to Mo Wuji, and said, "Reporting to Ancestor, after you left, Lord Lian brought back a hundred of the highest-grade immortal spiritual veins and found a pool of immortal marrow. The strength of our Immortal Mortal Sect's elders and lords rose rapidly, and in just over a thousand years, we became the number one sect in the Immortal World.
"At that time, the Immortal World could sense the ascension summons. Lord Lian, Sect Leader Su, Lord Wei, and other strong members of our sect ascended and left the Immortal World."
Hearing this, Mo Wuji frowned slightly. He had such a great reputation in the God World. Logically, after Lian Yingxian and the others ascended, they would have immediately heard about him and joined him at the Mortal Sect. Why hadn't he received any news from any Immortal Mortal Sect cultivators?
"Everyone has ascended?" Mo Wuji asked again.
In ten thousand years, Mo Qingche shouldn't have cultivated so quickly.
Another young man with Immortal Reverent cultivation stood up, bowed to Mo Wuji, and said, "Reporting to Ancestor, Sect Leader Ji Yue believed that Fei Ling had committed a crime and imprisoned him in the Sea Prison. Senior Sister Qingche was also imprisoned by Sect Leader Ji Yue for committing a mistake. Later, Senior Brother Yan Li forcibly entered the Sea Prison and took Senior Sister Qingche away."
Mo Wuji's killing intent intensified. He hadn't swept through the sect with his divine sense earlier because it was his own sect. Now, as his divine sense swept out, he immediately sensed the Sea Prison deep beneath the Silent Sea below the sect. Not only was Fei Ling in the Sea Prison, but there were also two other cultivators he knew: Hai Zhenkui and Wen Hou's wife, Yan Qianling.
Mo Wuji didn't know about others, but he knew Yan Qianling's character very well. She was Wen Hou's wife and Wen Lianxi's mother. She was very kind and always considered others. How could such a person be imprisoned in the Sea Prison?
Even his granddaughter, Mo Qingche, had been imprisoned by Ji Yue. He really didn't know how this woman had come to the Immortal Mortal Sect.
Soon, Mo Wuji's divine sense swept to a more hidden restriction in the Immortal Mortal Sect. Fu Jingfeng was also imprisoned there. However, Fu Jingfeng had lost all cultivation, his sea of consciousness was destroyed, and his expression was blank.
What great audacity! Mo Wuji was enraged to the extreme, but he calmed down instead.
"Brother Mo…" After the initial panic and fear, Ji Yue finally regained a bit of composure. She called out to Mo Wuji in a soft voice, looking so fragile that anyone who saw her couldn't help but feel pity.
Mo Wuji looked at Ji Yue with sarcasm and said, "You're quite something! You ran away from Lei Hongji and came to my Immortal Mortal Sect, and you've imprisoned all the people of my Immortal Mortal Sect. I wonder what crimes they committed?"
Lou Yueshuang finally calmed down from her excitement. She said tearfully, "Many of them were imprisoned by her without hesitation, just like me, because they disagreed with her."
Mo Wuji nodded and looked at Yue Jiang, asking, "Who appointed you as the Right Guardian Lord?"
He had heard Yue Jiang's words. Yue Jiang had no problems being the Right Guardian Lord, and he spoke from the perspective of the Immortal Mortal Sect.
Yue Jiang thought that the Ancestor was going to blame him, so he quickly bowed and said, "It was Lord Wei who appointed me. Before Lord Wei ascended, he appointed me as the Right Guardian Lord. He told me that Sect Leader Jingfeng was too young and asked me to take care of things."
Afraid that Mo Wuji wouldn't understand, he explained, "Sect Leader Jingfeng was appointed by Sect Leader Su before he ascended."
"Then who appointed this Sect Leader Ji Yue?" Mo Wuji asked calmly.
Before Yue Jiang could speak, Ji Yue quickly said, "After Jingfeng ascended, he appointed me as the Sect Leader in his handwriting. Now that Brother has returned, the position of Sect Leader will naturally be given to Brother."
Mo Wuji stared at Ji Yue coldly and said, "You have no small amount of courage. You've imprisoned those who have made contributions to my Immortal Mortal Sect and exiled others. Tell me, how many people have you killed in my Immortal Mortal Sect?"
"Seven," Yue Jiang stood up and said before Ji Yue could answer. "Sect Leader Ji Yue has killed a total of seven loyal disciples of my Immortal Mortal Sect. If I hadn't been in the late stage of Immortal Emperor and she was somewhat wary of me, I would have been imprisoned in the Sea Prison as well."
"But I have always been dedicated to the sect. When Jingfeng was about to ascend, he entrusted the Immortal Mortal Sect to me, asking me to…"
Before Ji Yue could finish her sentence, Mo Wuji said in a cold voice, "Jingfeng ascended? Then who is the person whose sea of consciousness was destroyed and locked in a hidden restriction?"
"What? Sect Leader Jingfeng didn't ascend and was locked up by you?" Yue Jiang's eyes widened in fury. He had been entrusted by Lord Wei to take care of the new Sect Leader.
He had always thought that Fu Jingfeng had ascended long ago, but he never expected that he would be locked up by this venomous woman.
All the cultivators in the hall were stunned, staring at Ji Yue in shock. This woman was too audacious!
Ji Yue opened her mouth, even more shocked. How did Mo Wuji know?
Without waiting for Ji Yue to refute, Mo Wuji reached out and grabbed Fu Jingfeng, who was locked up, into the hall.
Not only that, but all the cultivators who were locked up in the Sea Prison were brought into the hall by Mo Wuji.
"Sect Leader Mo…" Fei Ling exclaimed in joy when he saw Mo Wuji.
Wen Lianxi's mother, Yan Qianling, also looked at Mo Wuji with surprise and joy, "Sect Leader Mo, you're back."
Mo Wuji bowed and said, "It's my fault for not making things clear, causing everyone to suffer."
Mo Wuji knew that he would definitely be blamed for this. It was his fault for not giving proper instructions to Su Zian. Fu Jingfeng was his disciple, but that didn't mean Fu Jingfeng was qualified to be the Sect Leader.
Fu Jingfeng came from the seaside and had no experience or schemes. How could such a person become a Sect Leader?
