Invincible Kungfu Healer Chapter 965 - The Arrival of Ku Ji

Chapter 965: The Arrival of Ku Ji Besides, Mo Wen’s speed was accelerated due to the help of the three Glory techniques. It was not a release technique that he had mastered. If one only took into account release techniques, Mo Wen could be considered a newbie. Without the three Glory techniques, Mo Wen was weaker than ordinary beginning stage Primordial Soul Realm practitioners.
Hence, Mo Wen needed to practice a powerful release technique now. If he mastered a release technique, combined with the help of the three Glory techniques, Mo Wen’s speed would most likely increase by a few folds.
action However, Mo Wen did not have access to any release technique that he could practice, and it likely wouldn’t be simple to acquire a good release technique.
...
Two weeks before, after Mo Wen escaped, it took only two days for Ku Ji to reach Li’an City. Ku Ji intended to meet up with Mo Wen, yet he received the news that Mo Wen had escaped from the city due to a kill chase.
“What are you talking about?”
In the main mansion of Li’an City, Ku Ji sat on the master seat. He was surrounded by officers and generals from Li’an City; even Zhang Huishan was present. However, no one dared to sit. All of them stood respectfully in the hall.
Ku Ji put on a cold expression while his piercing gazes scanned everyone. His terrifying aura caused the people to shiver. The aura of a strong practitioner who had achieved great attainment at the Primordial Soul realm was more terrifying than a flood or a ferocious beast. Not to mention Ku Ji was a veteran cultivator with great attainment at the Primordial Soul Realm.
“Lord Ku Ji, the Blood Evil Temple was targeting the youth for some unknown reason. According to their words, they were purging evil and defending righteousness. They came with a killing intent from far away.”

Zhang Huishan bowed his body, with sweat covering his forehead. He had not expected that it had only been two days and a dignified Huatian Palace Executor came to Li’an City personally. Besides, from the looks of it, Ku Ji seemed to not be here to capture Mo Wen.
“Purging evil and defending righteousness? What a fancy excuse the Blood Evil Temple has come up with,” Ku Ji coldly snorted as his gaze turned icy cold. In the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, it was understandable for others to not know Mo Wen’s identity. Could it be that even the Blood Evil Temple, who had attended the Dragon City Martial Arts Circle Convention, did not know who he was?
The Blood Evil Temple was seeking revenge privately. They intended to use this excuse to eliminate Mo Wen.
“Lord Ku Ji, young hero Mo Wen is formidable. Even when he was attacked by three strong practitioners from the Blood Evil Temple, he managed to injure Xue Chu and escaped elegantly,” Zhang Huishan added on quickly while wiping away the sweat on his forehead. Right now, Zhang Huishan was very certain that, not only was Mo Wen not from Hades Mountain, he was related to the Huatian Palace. Otherwise, minister Ku Ji couldn’t come all the way here to meet Mo Wen.
“This Blood Evil Temple is practically tired of living.”
Ku Ji was well-aware that Mo Wen was supported by Mo Qingge and her sibling, Mo Qingtian. Both of them were not figures to be trifled with. Since the Blood Evil Temple was at odds with Mo Wen, they would sooner or later face bad luck.
The officers from Xiping were all as quiet as cicadas in cold weather. All of them lowered their heads and none of them spoke. The Huatian Palace minister was someone noble. They rarely had a chance to meet people like him. However, the minister was burning with rage in front of them now.
Zhang Huishan was feeling utter regret now. If he knew that Mo Wen had such a strong background, he would not have stayed out of the dispute the other day. Regardless of how domineering the Blood Evil Temple was or whether Zhang Huishan’s interfering would have cost him his life, he would have helped Mo Wen, because it would have been a great connection for the Cui Hong Sect in the future.
Ku Ji stood up and left, not saying anything. When he reached the main entrance, he paused for a while, ordering slowly, “Send out a message, saying that the Huatian Palace is searching for Mo Wen. Let Mo Wen know, if he receives the news, he can go to any Branch Palace Halls of the Huatian Palace and wait there. I will go to pick him up personally.”
Since Mo Wen had escaped from the danger, he would most likely still be in Qu State for the time being. There were more than 10 Branch Palace Halls of the Huatian Palace in Qu State. It would not be hard for Mo Wen to locate one of them once he received the news.
...
During the previous battle, as the Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader, Xue Chu had also been severely injured. He had nearly died outside of Li’an City. After two weeks of treatment, his injuries had slightly recovered, but his face was still pale. He was not Mo Wen. He was not a Miracle Physician himself and did not receive the inheritance of Medicine Sage Ji Wuya and the protection of life energy.

If he wanted his injuries to completely recover, he most likely needed more than a hundred years. After all, not just his body was injured, but his cultivation and life source as well. Originally, there was a chance of him advancing to the later stage Primordial Soul realm, but after this battle, that hope was slim.
“What business do you have with me?”
In the great hall, Xue Chu asked plainly as he looked at the white-robed elder below. This elder was none other than one of the Dual Evils Black and White.
When Xue Chu was in seclusion and healing himself, other people could not contact him. Only a few confidants could use a special method to communicate with him.
“Temple Leader, the Blood Evil Temple has already fully mobilized and is searching Mo Wen’s whereabouts in full force. However, for this past two weeks, we have found nothing,” the white-robed elder said with a sigh.
“Oh, is that the reason why you are reaching out to me?” Xue Chu’s expression was somewhat displeased. His injuries were too severe, and he urgently needed to heal in peace. He had anticipated that they would not be able to find Mo Wen. If they had easily found him, he would have been surprised. After all, finding Mo Wen in the huge Qu State was more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
“Temple Leader, there is another matter that I feel that I should report to you,” the white-robed elder said. He naturally had not disturbed the Temple Leader just for this matter.
“What’s the matter?”
“The Huatian Palace is searching for Mo Wen’s whereabouts in the entire Qu State. Right now, news from the Huatian Palace is being sent out everywhere. If Mo Wen catches wind of this news, he will certainly head to a Huatian Palace Branch Palace Hall,” the white-robed elder said helplessly. If Mo Wen reached the Huatian Palace, then they couldn’t have any chance of getting to him.
“There is such a matter?” Xue Chu had a shocked expression. Although he knew that Mo Wen was a member of the Huatian Palace, there were all sorts of talents in the Huatian Palace. It was intricate inside the Huatian Palace. If such an incident had occurred, the Huatian Palace, by right, would not have been involved. Even the veterans of the Senate were not qualified for the Huatian Palace to search for them on such a large scale.
Leaving aside other things, the Huatian Palace managed the entire world. Every year, countless Primordial Soul Realm cultivators of all ranks died outside. However, Xue Chu had never seen the Huatian Palace search for someone so exaggeratedly.
“Temple Leader, you might not know, but merely two days after Mo Wen escaped, Minister Ku Ji from the Huatian Palace rushed over to Li’an City. Rumor has it that, after Minister Ku Ji knew about this incident, he was very unhappy and was rather displeased with our Blood Evil Temple. The command to search for Mo Wen was given by him,” the white-robed elder said.

“It’s that Wise Man Ku Ji.”
Xue Chu’s eyelids were throbbing. His expression finally revealed a look of panic. He had heard of the Wise Man Ku Ji before. He was a rather incredible veteran of the Huatian Palace Senate. There were countless veterans in the Huatian Palace Senate. Any cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Primordial Soul Realm and had been in the Huatian Palace for many years could take an assessment to join the Senate.
Once one passed the assessment, they would be members of the Huatian Palace Senate. However, it was not an easy thing to join the Senate. Not only did one need to have the qualifications to take the assessment, but the difficulty of the assessment was also rather hard. Even for Xue Chu, he would most likely not be able to pass the Huatian Palace Senate assessment.
Even so, there were numerous veterans in the Senate. There were still ranks in the Senate, and the situation was complicated as usual, and there was a huge number of senators.
Ku Ji was a rather famous Primordial Soul Realm veteran of the Senate. Rumor had it that countless heretic path cultivators had perished at his hand. Among those that he vanquished, there were most likely more than 10 cultivators with great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm. He was a truly savage person.
There had always been rumors that the heretic path organizations had tried to assassinate him multiple times. However, all of their attempts had failed.
Against such a person, how could Xue Chu not be afraid? Ku Ji most likely could defeat a cultivator like Xue Chu in two or three moves.
“Ku Ji seems to care a lot about Mo Wen. Will he vent his anger out on our Blood Evil Temple because of this?” The white-robed elder asked with a worried expression. Ku Ji from the Huatian Palace could eradicate the Blood Evil Temple with just a flip of his hand. He was not someone the Blood Evil Temple could mess with.
“Most likely not. If he attacks us openly, it is not good for the name of the Huatian Palace. As for attacking us privately, with Wise Man Ku Ji’s personality, he most likely won’t,” Xue Chu shook his head. Regardless, this time, the Blood Evil Temple went to deal with Mo Wen in the name of purging evil and defending righteousness. They acted after knowing that Mo Wen had a Ten Thousand Soul Banner and seemed to be a member of the heretic path. In reality, this sort of incident was common in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. For the sects to render meritorious service for the Huatian Palace, it was common for them to go around killing heretic path cultivators.
If the Huatian Palace considered the Blood Evil Temple guilty in this incident, who would dare serve the Huatian Palace?
“So what do we do now?” The white-robed elder asked uneasily. As the Blood Evil Temple’s Sect Grand Elder, he could already sense that the Blood Evil Temple was in danger of being eradicated. Leaving aside Mo Wen’s mysterious background, even his personality was enough to make the Blood Evil Temple panic.
“The greatest regret in my life is not resisting temptation and heading over to kill that youth, only to let him escape in the end,” Xue Chu said somewhat decadently. There was a deep look of exhaustion in his eyes. He had brought this situation upon himself. Now that the situation had developed to such an extent, it was completely out of his control. If he had known, no matter what, he would not have fallen for the provocation of his useless son and coveted the treasures of Mo Wen.
“Temple Leader, no one knew that this would be the result,” The white-robed elder lowered his head. Indeed, when they headed for Li’an City, they did not feel that there was any difficulty in this outing at all. Against a mere youth, they had looked down on him completely. It could only be said that back then, they were blinded by their greed and only thought of how to snatch the spiritual treasures of that youth.
“Mo Wen is the heir of that person. Not only did Mo Wen master the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, but I am also sure that the Sacred Fire Sword is with him. That person has quite a few enemies in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Spread the news of Mo Wen to every sect that is against that person, and all the sects that are interested in the Sacred Fire Sword. Since our Blood Evil Temple can’t handle him, we can only place our hopes on others.”
Xue Chu exhaled a long breath and crumbled on the chair as though his soul had left his body. Five hundred years ago, the legendary Sacred Fire Sword caused great bloodshed in the entire Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Xue Chu had not imagined that, 500 years later, he would be trapped in this big mud pit. If it wasn’t because he coveted the Sacred Fire Sword and the secret behind it, he, who was usually careful, wouldn’t have decided on his course of action hastily.
The youth had that person’s inheritance. Since the youth was now in Peng Lai Immortal Realm, perhaps the entire realm was about to descend into chaos again. Compared to that person 500 years ago, this youth might be lagging in terms of cultivation currently, but his potential far exceeded that person.
