Covering the Sky: Becoming an Emperor Through Sole Cultivation of the Sea of ​​Wheels

Chapter 75 Ancient Species

The members of the Divine Wolf Cult already regarded Mo Wuji and his group of "pigs" as dead men, so they did not avoid talking to Mo Wuji and his group along the way.

Faced with piles of treasures, the three remaining members of the Thirteen Sky Thieves revealed bright smiles.

"The three thousandth birthday celebration of the Taiyin God was a great event. If it weren't for this, we little minions wouldn't have had the chance to make a fortune."

"No, we should thank the old manor lord. If he hadn't wanted to capture that ancient beast as a birthday gift for the Taiyin God, this task wouldn't have been assigned to us."

"If you ask me, yes, we have them all. Why don't we just thank them all?"

The three men's gratitude, of course, remained merely verbal.

"Just how auspicious do you think that ancient creature looks?" It's worth the old manor lord going to such lengths.

"You're mistaken. This kind of thing isn't worth the old master's personal involvement; it was all handled by his closed-door disciple."

"However, few of my fellow disciples have seen the true face of that ancient creature, but I know that its strength should not be underestimated."

"You don't even need to tell me that. Even when Senior Brother Lang Tianye personally took action, that ancient monster managed to escape."

"In a way, it's thanks to that ancient monster that it escaped into the Valley of Divine Poison that we had the opportunity to intervene."

"The poisonous fog that permeates the Divine Poison Valley is terrifying. It is said that a great figure was once poisoned to death in the Divine Poison Valley, so Senior Brother Wolf dares not take the risk lightly."

"That's why we had to capture these piglets in various places to find out the safest route into the valley."

"But I've heard that the poison in Divine Poison Valley isn't without an antidote?"

"Are you really stupid or just pretending? Don't you need the antidote?"

"Moreover, hiring someone to refine pills is not only expensive, but collecting the necessary spiritual herbs would take an unknown amount of time. Add to that the time required for other processes, and what if that ancient beast escapes during this time?"

The old master of the manor? Could it be the Tianlang Manor on Tianlang Mountain?

Mo Wuji was just beginning to have doubts when they arrived at the so-called "Divine Wolf Cult" camp.

From the outside, it appears to be a magnificent and opulent manor, situated on a scenic hill.

But it was actually a slaughterhouse, and Mo Wuji could smell the pungent stench of blood from a great distance.

Upon entering the manor, Mo Wuji and the others were separated and imprisoned in animal cages.

These beast cages are made of lapis lazuli, making them extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to destroy.

But now the original blue metal cage has been stained dark red, and it's unknown how many people have died in this cage.

Mo Wuji discovered no fewer than a thousand such cages with a mere sweep of his divine sense!

Just then, Mo Wuji saw several living cultivators being driven into a wolf den to feed the Howling Moon Wolves kept by the Divine Wolf Sect.

It turns out the previous threats weren't just empty words!

How dare they lead beasts to devour people!

Feeling a sense of shared fate, I listened to the wails of the cultivators who had been pushed into the wolf's den.

Mo Wuji was filled with extreme anger and fear; he wished he could overturn this flesh-and-blood manor right now.

But Mo Wuji repeatedly warned himself that the mastermind behind the scenes had not yet been uncovered, and he could not rush things.

After calming down, Mo Wuji keenly noticed that the Howling Moon Wolves seemed to be injured.

This is strange. The Howling Moon Wolf is a wolf demon that can be considered a rare beast. Its combat power is not low among those of the same level. If an ordinary genius were to face multiple of them at once, they would be at risk of dying.

Those few Howling Moon Wolves, with their cultivation at the Fourth Extreme Realm and always cherished by their senior brother behind the scenes, are now injured.

Could it be the work of that ancient, strange creature?

There was nothing in the manor that could endanger Mo Wuji's life, so he was full of confidence.

Mo Wuji, emboldened by his skill, bribed a local tyrant who was well-connected in the manor that very night with a pound of Pure Source.

This man was originally a captured cultivator, but through opportunism and scheming, he successfully became a guard.

This man is a gambling addict, nicknamed "Four-Finger Gambling Monster".

Because he failed to repay his gambling debts, the casino used a special tool to permanently cut off six of his fingers.

The wounds left by special artifacts have the property of being unhealable.

Even a cultivator, with sufficient life essence, can generally regenerate severed limbs, but this method becomes ineffective in the face of such a special secret artifact.

But this four-fingered gambler still couldn't quit gambling. He sold his wife and children, leaving them all behind. In the end, in order to get the money to win back his losses, he was unsurprisingly tricked into joining the "God Wolf Cult" with a high salary.

Unexpectedly, this scoundrel thrived in this den of iniquity and even rose to become a minor leader.

"You're quite capable, kid, you even know how to keep secrets."

"With this resource, I'm sure I can turn the tide tonight!"

"Ask whatever you want to know quickly, I'm busy right now, or I won't wait any longer."

This four-fingered gambling monster often mingled with three escaped members of the Thirteen Thieves of the Heavenly Wolf, and knew their origins inside and out.

Mo Wuji learned from this four-fingered gambling monster that not only the three who escaped the net, but the entire Thirteen Thirteen Thieves of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain were actually a dirty glove supported by the Heavenly Wolf Mountain.

He publicly claimed to be an outcast, officially expelled from the sect, but in reality, they maintained contact secretly.

Otherwise, the highest cultivation level among the Thirteen Thieves of the Heavenly Wolf was only three Dao Palaces, how could they have made such a name for themselves around Tianyuan City?

Any cultivator at the Fourth Extreme Realm could easily wipe out the Thirteen Heavenly Wolf Thieves on the surface.

Four Extreme Realm cultivators are not uncommon in Tianyuan City. It is all because Tianlang Mountain is backing them up that Tianyuan City dares not act rashly.

Moreover, the goddess of the Sea God Palace did not want to leave any flaws and wanted to contact assassins to kill Mo Wuji.

But think about it carefully, would an ordinary bandit have the connections to get in touch with a noble goddess of the Sea God's Palace and thus land such a lucrative job?

In a way, Mo Wuji's actions back then could be considered as saving the lives of these three who had escaped the net.

Otherwise, these three would never have been able to escape the trap left by the goddess of the Sea God Palace within the Void Breaking Realm.

At this point, the mastermind behind it all has finally been found!

To correct this mistake, Mo Wuji had already mentally sentenced everyone involved to death.

At the same time, Mo Wuji received news that he had been selected for the next batch to explore the Divine Poison Valley.

This made Mo Wuji laugh. "You're asking for death the wrong way!"

The next day, Mo Wuji was escorted by the people of Tianlang Mountain to the outside of Shendu Valley. Among this group of people who were almost sentenced to death, he saw a surprising person.

The Four-Finger Gambling Monster—no, we should call him the Three-Finger Gambling Monster now.

He lost another finger; the cut on his left index finger was bloody, leaving only his thumb as the sole remaining member of his left hand.

Did he lose badly again last night, betting his life away?

The people of Tianlang Mountain cast a location-tracking spell on Mo Wuji and his group, and then drove them into the Divine Poison Valley as if they were cattle or sheep.
