Leaving the Pass

Nangong Wan rushed toward Su Muxue, pulling her into her arms before gently landing on the ground. Her voice trembled slightly. “Sister Muxue...”

More than a hundred years ago, after the Yaochi Heavenly Palace and the Demon Sect formed an inexplicable alliance, Su Muxue had remained in the Demon Sect to cultivate. The friendship between the two had long since surpassed that of ordinary fellow cultivators; they were practically sisters.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a pity. Such a beautiful woman, wasted by you just like that.”

Huangfu Yunteng arrived beside the foreign-race Quasi-Emperor and looked down at Su Muxue, who lay dying in Nangong Wan’s arms. He shook his head regretfully.

“The young master’s plans are more important. Get the Immortal Bone first!”

With that, the foreign-race Quasi-Emperor dove downward, the halberd in his hand aimed straight at Nangong Wan. In the blink of an eye, its terrifying aura reached her.

Feeling the deadly aura emanating from the halberd, Nangong Wan’s eyes narrowed. She was just about to forcibly activate the power of the Immortal Bone and make one final stand.

Just as a glimmer of immortal light began to shine from her chest, a figure appeared and stepped in front of the two women. Dressed in black, the figure lightly swung the dark-red longsword in his hand, and a strand of sword laws erupted from its blade.

Clang!!

The moment the sharp sword struck the halberd, terrifying energy exploded. The powerful shockwave sent every cultivator below the Saint Realm flying.

Crack!

In the next instant, the halberd seemed to have encountered its natural nemesis. It was forcibly cleaved into two pieces by the longsword, the halves shooting off in opposite directions.

“How is this possible?!”

The foreign-race Quasi-Emperor hurriedly retreated, his pupils shrinking in disbelief. His great halberd was a supreme treasure! Even if it had only been an ordinary supreme treasure, it should not have been split in two so effortlessly.

“It’s you!! Mo! Tian! Xiao!”

After recognizing the newcomer, Huangfu Yunteng’s expression instantly twisted with rage. Gritting his teeth, he shouted out Mo Tianxiao’s name one syllable at a time.

Mo Tianxiao merely glanced at Huangfu Yunteng before turning around and crouching down to examine Su Muxue’s condition.

“Senior Brother! Sister Muxue was attacked while saving me. Please save her!”

Seeing that her senior brother had finally emerged from seclusion, Nangong Wan was overjoyed. But remembering Su Muxue’s condition, she immediately grew anxious and begged Mo Tianxiao to save her.

Mo Tianxiao placed a hand over Su Muxue’s wound and frowned slightly. He then took a handful of Saint-grade pills from his spatial ring, pried open Su Muxue’s mouth, and poured the pills inside.

Next, Mo Tianxiao took out the Imperial Banner. Just as he was about to do something else, Nangong Wan’s expression changed.

“Senior Brother! No! You’re not going to refine Sister Muxue, are you?”

Mo Tianxiao froze. He looked up at her pitiful expression, her eyes on the verge of tears. Unable to help himself, he sighed, then reached out and rapped her lightly on the head, scolding her, “Do you really think your senior brother is that kind of person?”

After reprimanding Nangong Wan, Mo Tianxiao released a yin soul and asked, “Elder Yun, do you have a way to remove the laws inside her body?”

The yin soul that appeared was Xiao Fan’s golden finger—the remnant soul of an Emperor Realm expert, Elder Yun.

Elder Yun stroked his beard and examined Su Muxue’s condition. “This old man is only a remnant soul. The strength I can display is not even comparable to that of a Quasi-Emperor, so naturally I cannot completely eradicate these laws. However, suppressing them temporarily is no problem.”

“I’ll first suppress the force of the laws within her body. A Quasi-Emperor can deal with it properly afterward.”

Mo Tianxiao nodded upon hearing this. “Then I’ll trouble you, Elder Yun.”

“Wan’er, leave this place with them first. I’ll handle the rest.”

Mo Tianxiao rose to his feet and arrived in midair.

By this point, quite a few Demon Sect cultivators had recognized Mo Tianxiao’s identity.

“It’s Senior Brother!”

“Is Senior Brother finally going to act?!”

“What Senior Brother? Call him Sect Master!”

“Sect Master! Please save our Demon Sect!”

The disciples all looked toward Mo Tianxiao, hope rising in their hearts. Since their sect master had appeared at such a critical moment, he ought to have a way to deal with the enemy, right?

“It’s the Demon Sect’s sect master. I thought he had already fled. Turns out he didn’t.”

“Please, Demon Sect Master, save the Profound Yellow Realm!”

Quite a few Saint Realm cultivators noticed the aura around Mo Tianxiao. He had astonishingly reached the peak of the Saint King Realm.

“So what if he broke through to the peak of the Saint King Realm? The foreign race has so many Quasi-Emperors. What use can he possibly be?”

There were naturally those who clung to hope, but there were also realists. How could one additional peak Saint King possibly change the course of the battle?

“Mo Tianxiao, at the very last moment, you’ve finally come out to throw your life away?”

Huangfu Yunteng suppressed his fury and looked at Mo Tianxiao mockingly. “Oh? The peak of the Saint King Realm? Your cultivation has advanced so quickly in such a short time. You didn’t use some forbidden technique, did you?”

Noticing the Quasi-Emperor aura emanating from Huangfu Yunteng, Mo Tianxiao’s eyes flashed with surprise. He asked curiously, “Did you take some pills, you piece of trash?”

Huangfu Yunteng’s face twitched, and his eyes filled with resentment. “You’re the piece of trash! Your whole family is trash! The realm you people could never reach even after a lifetime of struggle was achieved by me with just a little assistance from the foreign-race lords!”

“Mo Tianxiao, are you afraid? Do you know what kind of existence you’re about to face?”

Scales, savage and terrifying, grew across Huangfu Yunteng’s body as he pushed his True Dragon Physique to its limit. His dense killing intent seemed ready to overflow and fill the entire sky.

Boom!!

At that moment, a terrifying energy fluctuation erupted in the distance. Two figures flew backward, their bodies bent into bows as they shattered the surrounding space.

Mo Tianxiao’s gaze sharpened. His figure flickered, and he appeared in the distance, reaching out to catch the two people as they flew toward him.

“Great Elder, Aunt Lin, are you all right?”

Seeing how battered they were and how chaotic the auras within their bodies had become, Mo Tianxiao hurriedly took out two pills and handed them to the pair.

“Cough, cough, cough! Damn them! If they’ve got the guts, fight us one-on-one!”

After coughing up a large mouthful of blood, Gu Changsheng could not help but curse furiously.

On the other side, Lin Wanyi’s condition was no better. Her body was covered in the power of laws, which continued to erode her strength.

“Tianxiao, take Little Xue and the others and run. The two of us can still hold them off for a while.”

Lin Wanyi stared ahead and straightened her body.

“That’s right, Tianxiao. You can’t die. You have to avenge us. Kill every last one of these foreign-race bastards in the future!”

Gu Changsheng stepped in front of Mo Tianxiao, his expression resolute.

“Stop wasting your effort. What can the two of you do, even if you self-detonate?”

Moke arrived in an instant with three foreign-race Quasi-Emperors. He looked at Huangfu Yunteng and the other man. “You still haven’t obtained the Immortal Bone?”

The two immediately returned to Moke’s side and replied respectfully, “My lord, we were about to get it, but this brat suddenly appeared, delaying us.”

“My lord, rest assured. I’ll seize the Immortal Bone right now, in front of them!”

“Enough. Since you still haven’t obtained it, eliminate these nuisances first. We can take our time afterward. We have plenty of time.”

Moke waved his hand indifferently, his expression utterly relaxed.

The six Quasi-Emperors had barely expended any energy while grinding the two men down to this state.

If they had not been afraid that the pair might self-detonate at any moment, they would not have spent so long carefully surrounding and suppressing them.

“Do you have any last words?”

Moke looked at Gu Changsheng and Lin Wanyi, completely ignoring Mo Tianxiao behind them.

After all, he was only a cultivator in the Saint King Realm—hardly worth paying attention to.
