Chapter 172 Strange Rock
Hedao Sect, a side hall.
Mojie stared at the transparent stone in his hand from beginning to end. He thought of countless ways for Nie Li and his companions to escape, but he did not expect that the others would disappear out of thin air and no trace could be found. Fortunately, Nie Li was always within his sight, and Mojie did not appear again as Nie Li had guessed.
But after seeing the shadow fighting with Nie Li, Mo Jie angrily hit the armrest of the chair with one hand. No one knew what the chair was made of, but it actually caught Mo Jie's angry palm steadily, leaving only a dent on it.
"Old thing, one day, just one day is all it takes for me to make you fall into eternal damnation!" Mojie's mouth twitched. He thought that if he did the opposite, the old sect master would relax his vigilance. But who knew that he guessed wrong. The old sect master was at the most critical moment of the plan, how could he let go of these details?
"That's right. After all, you are old and there are not many opportunities left." Mojie smiled again and looked out the window which was gradually getting brighter. The scene in Mojie's mind seemed to become more real, but the shadow in it was obscured by the light.
Mojie's cultivation had long been stagnant, and in order to find an opportunity for a breakthrough, he sent his younger brother Moke to the Hedao Sect. Although he didn't expect that the leader of the Hedao Sect was actually hiding so deeply, he didn't care anyway, as it would ultimately be a wedding dress for him.
"Mo Ke, I'm sorry, too many ties will hinder my dream of becoming a king! When I take the old man's soul, I will give you a good burial."
The cock crowed punctually at dawn, and when the sun rose brightly, the election of the new leader of Quanhe Dao Sect finally began. There was no one on the stage, only a single Dharma image sitting there. The Dharma image was solemn and dignified, and the people below the stage, even the dignitaries from the ancestral land of the gods, all half-knelt and bowed their heads, and no one looked directly at the Dharma image.
The Dharma is the authority!
Some people wondered why the sect master didn't come in person, but the scene was as quiet as it could be. Despite their doubts, no one dared to question the Hedao Sect. Before the old sect master spoke, they still knelt and lowered their noble heads. There was no other reason, the person on the stage was more noble than them.
"You are too polite, fellow Taoists! Today is the election for the leader of Hedao Sect, which is a grand event for our Hedao Sect. Unfortunately, my health is not good, so I can only show my Dharma image to everyone. I hope you can forgive me, fellow Taoists!" The old leader looked like an old man on the surface, but he spoke with full energy. Although he spoke in a very humble manner, there was no apology in his tone.
Arrogant to the extreme! Everyone present was a smart person, who could not hear the meaning of the old master's words? Poor health was just an excuse, in fact, he was unwilling to be present in person, obviously not taking the people present seriously, but what about this? No one dared to say no, everyone was maintaining a superficial harmony, after all, the Hedao Sect was a behemoth in the ancestral land of the gods.
The only one who did not kneel down in the audience was Mojie. Mojie looked at the Dharma image on the stage with disdain. He could see through this old man, but the Dharma image was indeed solemn, without any impurities.
"It does have something." Mo Jie said to himself, "It's a pity that this is just a bunch of useless Heavenly Dao power, and it can never replace your dirty body!"
The old sect master naturally also saw Mojie. He was the only person who did not kneel in the whole venue and was too conspicuous. But he did not say much. Mojie was only appreciated by him in name, but everyone had already tacitly accepted that Mojie was his last disciple. In front of so many people, the old sect master was too lazy to make trouble. Anyway, as long as the position of sect master was settled, he could go find her and manage the Hedao Sect at the same time.
“Don’t kneel anymore, stand up.” The old sect master’s Dharma image raised his hand, his tone was unnaturally flat. It was supposed to be a grand event, but it started extremely sloppily. With just a command from the Dharma image, everyone present began to move. But it was not just them who were moving, it was the entire ground, the entire Hedao Sect was shaking!
In just a very short period of time, the ground that seemed somewhat empty just now was now full of strange rocks, some of which were so high that they reached the clouds and their tops were invisible. These strange rocks did not seem to have any connection with each other, and their function could not be seen at all. They just stood there monotonously, separating the crowds.
Mojie narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what this was trying to do. He put his hands on the strange stone and rubbed it twice. Mojie felt even more strange. They were just ordinary stones...
