125: On the verge of exploding

The palace streaked past like a beam of light, its two Golden Core Stage Auras faintly emanating, startling countless Cultivators.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators emerged from their Immortal Caves, their Divine Sense probing the direction of the streaking light, their hearts filled with awe.

“Changes are coming…”

“I hope it doesn't affect us.”

Someone sighed secretly, then summoned their family's Disciples and gave them detailed instructions.

Just as True Person He was heading towards the Zhou Family with the two.

On Xuanqing Mountain, within the Spirit Void Sect, the Suqing Peak, which had been sealed for many years, seemed to show signs of life. Subsequently, a white-robed figure with a majestic Face walked out from the tightly sealed Great Formation of Suqing Peak.

True Person Qingmu sensed this Aura, his heart pounding with excitement and overwhelming joy.

Looking at the newcomer, his lips trembled slightly. After a moment, True Person Qingmu calmed down slightly, bowed, and cupped his hands:

“Congratulations, Senior Brother, on emerging from seclusion.”

…Outside Qingyuan Town, a palace leaped out from a beam of light.

Inside the hall, beside the Dao platform, three people sat cross-legged.

Xu Chenfeng extended his Divine Sense, sensing the situation on the ground, and nodded slightly:

“This Zhou Family indeed has some capability; it has already gained some momentum.”

Below, True Person He's expression was disdainful:

“young sect master, this Zhou Family is just lucky. Relying on Mo Xuan, they were able to achieve their current status.”

“Otherwise, how could a Zhou Family with only one Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator have such a scene today?”

Xu Chenfeng nodded. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, as the son of a Nascent Soul True Lord, he was highly favored. Now that he had come to Qingzhou, he was respectfully called the young sect master, and most of those he interacted with were Golden Core Stage True Persons.

Hearing that the Zhou Family only had a mere Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, he immediately dismissed them, but still wondered:

“How did this Zhou Family subdue this snake Yao Beast?”

Xu Chenfeng was puzzled.

In the cultivation world, there were many Cultivators who raised Yao Beasts, but the cultivation of these Yao Beasts usually could not exceed their own by too much, otherwise, there would be a risk of being backlashed by the Yao Beast.

Although he claimed this time to take Mo Xuan as his mount, this would only be possible after bringing Mo Xuan back to the sect and having his father employ means. Only then would he dare to do so.

Otherwise, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even with a Nascent Soul True Lord father, he would not dare to be so presumptuous.

The cultivation world never lacked audacious individuals, and this was a ferociously incomparable Yao Beast King.

“This…”

“I only heard that it was related to the deceased former Zhou Family Patriarch, Zhou Kaiding. As for the rest, I know nothing.”

True Person He hesitated, his heart also filled with bewilderment. No matter how he and Venerable Ming inquired, they could not ascertain the reason.

Thus, they could not find an opportunity to take targeted action.

Otherwise, if they had found the key point, perhaps they wouldn't have had to wait until today.

Heaven creates all things; humans can raise Yao Beasts, and Yao Beasts can also raise humans.

The intricacies of this matter were naturally unknown to outsiders.

“No matter. Once we capture this snake Yao Beast, we will naturally be able to figure it out.”

Xu Chenfeng did not dwell on this matter. After speaking, he remained silent.

A moment later, True Person He's heart stirred.

In the distance ahead, Jade Moon Peak suddenly appeared before their eyes.

“young sect master, Elder Chu, the Zhou Family is on that spirit peak ahead.”

True Person He gestured with his hand.

Xu Chenfeng extended his Divine Sense and nodded slightly to True Person He.

Then, he looked towards Elder Chu, who was controlling the palace Magic Treasure.

Elder Chu understood, and his magic power surged.

The palace leaped, abruptly appearing above Jade Moon Peak.

True Person He stood up, cupped his hands to the two, and then flew out of the palace.

“Mo Xuan, the Spirit Void Sect's young sect master has arrived. Why don't you come out to meet him?”

True Person He's voice, wrapped in magic power, spread with a mighty Aura from above Jade Moon Peak.

Such an Aura shook the Cultivators of the various families in Qingyuan Town.

Inside Jade Moon Peak, impacted by True Person He's Golden Core Stage Aura, several Disciples of the 'Le' generation who were meditating in their secret chambers all changed their expressions. Their magic power became chaotic, blood spilled from the corners of their mouths, and their Auras were in disarray.

“Damn it…”

At Feiyue Peak Summit, inside the secret chamber, Zhou Liyue's expression changed drastically. A white silk ribbon floated behind her, and then she flew out of Jade Moon Peak.

“True Person He…”

Zhou Liyue's heart sank; the visitors meant no good.

“Greetings, Senior.”

Although Zhou Liyue's expression was solemn, she did not lack the proper etiquette.

“Hmph!”

“What a Mo Xuan, what great Face, completely disregarding me…”

True Person He felt a slight anger in his heart. He had personally invited Mo Xuan, yet Mo Xuan did not appear, only sending Zhou Liyue, clearly not taking him seriously.

With his identity as a Golden Core Stage True Person, what qualifications did Zhou Liyue have to speak with him?

“Where is Mo Xuan?”

Looking at the respectful Zhou Liyue before him, True Person He asked again in a deep voice.

“He's here for Uncle Xuan…”

Zhou Liyue's mind raced. These He and Ming families had never troubled our family before, let alone provoked Uncle Xuan.

Today, they came with such a grand display; they must have something to rely on. There's probably an extraordinary person in the palace behind them… “I absolutely cannot let them know Uncle Xuan's whereabouts…”

In an instant, Zhou Liyue made her decision.

“Senior He, our Old Ancestor was invited by the Artifact Refining Pavilion several months ago to Yunzhong Prefecture and has not yet returned.”

“Please forgive us, Senior. If Senior has any important matters, you can inform this Junior, and when our Old Ancestor returns, this Junior will definitely convey it.”

Zhou Liyue bowed again to True Person He, speaking with a slight apology in her tone, her voice sincere, and her words impeccable.

The He Family must be aware of the Artifact Refining Pavilion auction, so it should not arouse suspicion.

“Oh?”

“Is that so?”

Hearing this, True Person He's heart stirred. His Divine Sense swept across Jade Moon Peak and then probed into Qingyuan Town.

A moment later, True Person He withdrew his Divine Sense, feeling frustrated. He truly hadn't sensed Mo Xuan's Aura in Jade Moon Peak or Qingyuan Town.

“Damn it, what a coincidence.”

True Person He cursed inwardly, ignoring Zhou Liyue, who was still bowing.

He transmitted a message with his Divine Sense to the palace floating above, explaining the situation.

At such close proximity, and with Elder Chu being a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

True Person He naturally dared not exaggerate. Although the young sect master must have known about the recent conversation, he still had to report it.

Soon after, True Person He looked back at Zhou Liyue and the Zhou Family behind her.

He spoke softly, with a gentle smile in his tone:

“Having spoiled the young sect master's mood, the Zhou Family no longer needs to exist.”

Zhou Liyue's expression changed dramatically, and she cried out:

“Senior…”

However, before she could finish speaking, True Person He's Aura suddenly surged, and he waved his hand.

A fiery red giant handprint condensed from the air and slammed towards Jade Moon Peak.

Zhou Liyue looked up blankly at the approaching fiery red handprint, her Face ashen. The might of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator left her utterly powerless to resist.

“Damn it!”

In the sky, winds roared and sand flew, and a Black Giant Serpent over a hundred zhang long suddenly appeared. Its invisible wind wings spread, and streams of wind blades flew out, shattering the fiery red palm.

“Uncle Xuan!”

Zhou Liyue's eyes lit up, but then her expression suddenly changed drastically, and she shouted at the black serpent high in the sky:

“Uncle Xuan, run!”

True Person He's expression changed. This overwhelming ferocious might, the rumors were indeed true. Fortunately, he and Brother Ming were cautious enough; otherwise, provoking this Mo Xuan, the outcome would be truly hard to say.

But today, no matter how immense your ferocious might, how could you make any waves?

True Person He was about to speak.

Then he heard a young voice come from within the palace:

“Good, good, what a snake Yao Beast!”

As soon as the words fell, two figures, one old and one young, flew out of the palace and came before True Person He. The palace transformed into a stream of light and merged into the hand of the elderly Cultivator.

Mo Xuan looked at the people before him and transmitted a message to Zhou Liyue. Although Zhou Liyue was worried, she still flew back to Jade Moon Peak to preside over the Jade Moon Peak Great Formation.

The three in the air paid no attention to Zhou Liyue's actions. A mere Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator was nothing but an ant.

Mo Xuan's heart sank slightly. He had not shown himself precisely because he had sensed this Late Golden Core Stage Aura.

In the last battle, he had only managed to kill the injured Cloud Jiao by a sneak attack. Afterward, he had risked losing all reason and transforming into a Vicious Beast that only knew slaughter to barely kill the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger.

If Zhou Liyue hadn't arrived in time to awaken him, he would probably have died from Bloodline exhaustion long ago.

But today… his heart was heavy. A Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator, even if he once again activated all his beastly intent and burned away his reason, he probably wouldn't be this person's opponent.

“What to do, what to do…”

Mo Xuan remained silent, his thoughts churning, but faint blood streaks once again spread in his vertical pupils.

“Damn it…”

Mo Xuan's Water Control talent circulated, and water flowed over his body, suppressing this malevolent Qi.

The after-effects of activating his beastly intent last time had lingered until now.

“Clap!”

Looking at the Black Giant Serpent that blotted out the sky, Xu Chenfeng closed his folding fan, a clear smile on his Face, and spoke softly:

“Snake Yao Beast, are you willing to be my mount?”
