127: Nancangyu

When Mo Xuan and Elder Chu clashed, the Aura of one person and one snake soared to the sky, and the many Cultivators from various Families nearby were all extremely shocked.

Xuanqing Mountain, Xuanqing Sect, Qingxi Peak.

"Senior Brother, that's how it is. Cloud Jiao betrayed us, Senior Sister died, and during the beast tide, if Fellow Daoist Mo of the Zhou Family hadn't helped, I'm afraid even I..."

True Person Qingmu sat opposite the person before him, his expression somber.

"Cloud Jiao, Junior Sister, beast tide, Zhou Family..."

Listening to True Person Qingmu recount everything that had happened during his seclusion.

True Person He Run, at this moment, should be addressed as True Lord Herun.

True Lord Herun's face showed no joy or anger, his thoughts unknown.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, True Lord Herun let out a soft exclamation.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing his Senior Brother's unusual expression, True Person Qingmu quickly brushed away his gloom and asked True Lord Herun.

"This favor comes at just the right time."

Hearing this, True Lord Herun put down the teacup in his hand and spoke softly to True Person Qingmu:

"Junior Brother, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

As soon as his voice fell, True Person Qingmu no longer saw True Lord Herun's figure. His Divine Sense probed, but he couldn't detect any trace.

"This, is this Nascent Soul True Lord..."

...Above Jade Moon Peak.

"Profound ice..."

Elder Chu lightly raised the profound ice halberd (natal magic treasure) in his hand, pointing it distantly at Mo Xuan, preparing to unleash a charged attack.

"Demon Body..."

Mo Xuan was doing the same, just as he was about to activate the Three Transformations of the Demon Body Divine Ability again.

A bolt of lightning descended from the distant sky, and in an instant, it appeared between Elder Chu and Mo Xuan.

"Stop!"

The lightning dispersed, revealing a white-robed figure, majestic and solemn.

"True Lord!"

Feeling the Aura of the newcomer, Elder Chu was greatly alarmed.

"Damn it, where did this Huichuan Prefecture get a Nascent Soul True Lord?"

His magic power quickly receded, and the profound ice halberd (natal magic treasure) in his hand disappeared, absorbed into Elder Chu's body for nurturing.

"True Person He Run..."

Seeing the newcomer, Mo Xuan hastily dispelled the Divine Ability he had yet to unleash, letting out a long sigh of relief. The newcomer was indeed True Person He Run, with whom he had met once before.

When the Xuanqing Sect was in such a critical situation, True Person He Run had not shown his face. He had thought something unexpected had happened, but it turned out he was undergoing a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

In the future, he should be addressed as True Lord He.

Mo Xuan thought to himself. Given the relationship between the Zhou Family and the Xuanqing Sect, there should be a turning point today.

"Greetings, True Lord He!"

Mo Xuan saluted True Lord He Run.

"Greetings, True Lord!"

Elder Chu did the same, bowing respectfully.

Although he was already at the Late Golden Core Stage, there was still an insurmountable gap between him and Nascent Soul.

"Troublesome. This True Lord has a connection with this snake demon."

Hearing Mo Xuan's address, Elder Chu's heart sank slightly.

"Old Ghost He Run?"

In the distance, True Person He, who had been watching the battlefield, exclaimed in surprise.

Elder Chu didn't recognize him, but he naturally knew who the newcomer was.

Back then, the three Families and one Sect dominated this Huichuan Prefecture. It was because of the existence of True Person He Run that the Liang, He, and Ming Families could only retreat and develop with difficulty.

"Idiot!"

Elder Chu's face changed, and he almost cursed aloud.

With a True Lord present, he still dared to speak so disrespectfully. Elder Chu's face was ashen.

"Hmph!"

True Lord He Run's face darkened upon hearing this. He turned his head and looked at True Person He.

Then, his figure disappeared and reappeared in front of True Person He. He extended a finger and pointed it at True Person He's chest.

"Boom!"

True Person He was as if struck by divine lightning. Thunder exploded, destroying the flesh and Meridians in his body inch by inch.

"True Lord, spare my life!"

True Person He cried out. His body was immobile, but he managed to open his mouth and shout.

He had merely been too surprised for a moment, which led to his disrespectful words, but he didn't truly want to die.

It seemed True Person He's words had an effect.

True Lord He Run withdrew his finger, glanced at True Person He, then his figure disappeared again, returning to the middle of the person and the snake.

Elder Chu and Mo Xuan's hearts were heavy. Neither the person nor the snake had been able to perceive True Lord He Run's movements just now.

In other words, if True Lord He Run wanted to attack either of them, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

"This is Nascent Soul..."

"Who are you, and why have you come to my prefecture?"

True Lord He Run looked at the respectful Elder Chu, neither pleased nor angry, and spoke softly.

Elder Chu's heart tightened. Then, he summoned the distant palace, revealing Xu Chenfeng's figure within it.

Xu Chenfeng, inside the palace, could naturally perceive what was happening outside.

"Greetings, True Lord!"

Xu Chenfeng was no longer arrogant, but extremely respectful.

At this point, Elder Chu finally spoke:

"Reporting to True Lord, Chenfeng is the son of True Monarch Tianya of my Spirit Void Sect. This time, he was merely entrusted by True Monarch Tianya to have this old man accompany Chenfeng out for experience."

"After meeting Fellow Daoist Mo, I found Fellow Daoist Mo truly extraordinary, so I wanted to invite Fellow Daoist Mo to be a guest at my sect. It's just that Fellow Daoist Mo misunderstood, which led to some conflict."

Elder Chu's mind raced, and he rephrased the situation.

"Oh, is that so?"

True Lord He Run was noncommittal.

Behind him, Mo Xuan also remained silent. He had no personal relationship with True Lord He Run, although he had saved the Xuanqing Sect back then.

But that was only for his own sake. The value of this favor in True Lord He Run's heart was unknown.

Therefore, he couldn't speak casually and could only wait and see.

"How could a Disciple of the Spirit Void Sect from Litian Domain come to Nancang Domain for experience?"

True Lord He Run had clearly heard of the Spirit Void Sect's reputation.

Elder Chu's heart stirred slightly. This True Lord didn't even know this, perhaps he had been in seclusion for a long time and only recently emerged. Why not sell him some information?

"Reporting to True Lord, more than ten years ago, the Nancang Domain Lord disappeared, leading to the invasion of the Demon Domain. The Nancang Domain fell into chaos. True Monarch Tianya of my sect couldn't bear to see the people of the Nancang Domain suffer from the calamity of Yao Beasts, so he came to Qingzhou, established the Lingxu Branch Sect, and resisted the beast tide."

Elder Chu pondered his words, speaking slowly, word by word.

The disappearance of the Nancang Domain Lord was no longer a secret among the various Nascent Soul-level forces. As True Monarch Tianya's confidant, having followed True Monarch Tianya to Qingzhou, he naturally knew this information.

"The Domain Lord disappeared..."

True Lord He Run's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was far from calm.

The Dominator of a Domain, a Soul Transformation Stage Grand Cultivator, had disappeared. No wonder a beast tide occurred, and no wonder this foreign Spirit Void Sect was able to run rampant here.

As for what this person said about the Spirit Void Sect True Monarch's concern for all living beings, he simply ignored it.

It was merely an excuse to seize benefits... "The changes within can only be investigated later."

True Lord He Run thought to himself, then said to Elder Chu and Xu Chenfeng:

"Since that's the case, why haven't you left yet?"

Elder Chu's heart eased slightly, and he repeatedly spoke to True Lord He Run:

"True Lord, we take our leave!"

Xu Chenfeng did the same, bowing to True Lord He Run.

As for the matter of the mount, who could think of such things at this moment?

Elder Chu threw out the palace, led Xu Chenfeng into it, and then transformed into a streak of light, flying towards outside the prefecture.

As the two left, True Person He's face changed. These two actually left so decisively, without the slightest intention of caring for him.

True Lord He Run turned around, nodded to Mo Xuan, extended a finger, and said:

"Fellow Daoist Mo, this person is entrusted to you."

"Thank you, True Lord!"

Mo Xuan thanked him.

Then he looked at True Person He.

The people from the Spirit Void Sect coming here must have been instigated by him.

"If True Lord He hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid the outcome would have been unpredictable."

"This person deserves to die!"

Mo Xuan spread his wind wings, transforming into a mysterious light/aura (boundary), and flew towards True Person He.

True Person He was filled with great terror. He was already no match for Mo Xuan, and now, severely injured by True Lord He Run's finger, his strength had declined, making him even less a match for Mo Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, listen to me..."

"Fellow Daoist Mo..."

"Old Ancestor Mo..."

"Mercy..."

"Ah!"

Screams continued to ring out.

Mo Xuan looked at True Person He, who was entangled by his snake body.

A fierce Qi surged in his heart, and a bloodthirsty intent permeated. This was the bestiality that had been thoroughly stimulated back then, and now, taking advantage of Mo Xuan's injuries, there were signs of a backlash again.

"Eat him, eat him..."

The voice echoed in his heart. Mo Xuan opened his gaping maw and slowly reached down towards True Person He below.

In the distance, True Lord He Run, neither sad nor joyful, quietly watched Mo Xuan's actions.

A moment later.

"Hoo~"

Mo Xuan suppressed the bestiality in his heart again, loosened his snake body, and let True Person He's corpse fall.

Not eating humans had always been his bottom line, and it was also his guide to prevent himself from getting lost and maintaining his self.

If one day Mo Xuan started to feed on the Human Race, it would mean that Mo Xuan had completely transformed into a beast, without any humanity left.

At that time, Mo Xuan would certainly no longer be the Mo Xuan who came from Blue Star.

In the distance, watching Mo Xuan's actions, True Lord He Run nodded almost imperceptibly.

If Mo Xuan had eaten True Person He, he wouldn't have done anything, but the friendship between the two families would have ended there.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, that Spirit Void Sect is a major sect in Litian Domain, and there is more than one Nascent Soul True Lord within the sect."

True Lord He Run said seemingly carelessly.

"Thank you, True Lord. This Junior knows what's important."

Mo Xuan understood in his heart, knowing that True Lord He Run was explaining why he had let those two leave earlier.

At the same time, it was also a warning to him that the Spirit Void Sect was powerful and it was not advisable to make an enemy of them for now.

Mo Xuan suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

Even if he wanted to get even, it wouldn't be now...
