528: He...he really came back!

Mo Qi did not make a move; he just left straightforwardly!

His behavior infuriated Saint Xuan Yang, but he was helpless. With his strength, even if he wanted to keep Mo Qi, he couldn't. He was still very wary of Mo Qi.

If Jin Yang had been there, perhaps it would have been possible.

Helpless, Xuan Yang watched Mo Qi leave, then could only return to the Meteorite Sect in a huff, heading directly to the Golden Hall.

Inside the Golden Hall.

Saint Jin Yang and Saint Fen Yang were not Cultivating. At their Realm, Cultivating for any amount of time made little difference. After all, their Cultivation Dao had reached its end, and it was difficult to advance further.

"Great Master Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I'm back!"

Saint Xuan Yang's voice came, and the two looked over, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

What's going on?

Although Xuan Yang's cultivation was the weakest among the three, he was still a Cultivator of the Immortal Realm's third stage. They had never seen him look so constipated before. It was clear he had been angered outside. Who could make him angry?

"Third Junior Brother, you seem very unhappy. What happened? Did you encounter Shen Tianxing?"

Shen Tianxing could now be described as a thorn in the side of the Three Saints of the Golden Crow. To find his whereabouts, the three of them had even put aside their Cultivation and were fully dedicated to searching for him.

If he truly suffered a loss at Shen Tianxing's hands, then their approach to Shen Tianxing would need to be reconsidered.

Jin Yang's gaze flickered, but he remained silent, waiting for Xuan Yang to speak.

"Two Senior Brothers, you definitely won't guess this, but I met Mo Qi in the Valley of Gods and Demons! That fellow is indeed not dead!"

What!

Upon hearing this, their expressions immediately changed. Their previous calm was instantly shattered by his words, and they couldn't help but stand up from their meditation cushions.

"He really appeared? Did you fight him?"

Fen Yang's breathing quickened a few beats. This wasn't excitement, but an instinctive wariness emanating from his core!

Jin Yang's gaze also deepened a few shades, and he said, "How are his injuries? How much has his cultivation recovered? Is he truly connected to Shen Tianxing?"

Jin Yang had many questions, which indirectly showed that he was equally wary of Mo Qi, even more so!

Although the events of thirty thousand years ago had passed for so long, in these thirty thousand years, Jin Yang could never forget Mo Qi's terrifying strength that could sweep through everything!

If it weren't for the experts from the Inner Domain who crossed the Nine Great Forbidden Seas and intervened from afar, perhaps Mo Qi truly would have broken through to the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm in that battle, thereby completely escaping the Outer Domain and entering the Inner Domain.

Once he entered the Inner Domain, with Mo Qi's talent, that would truly be a boundless sea for a fish to leap!

"I don't know!"

Xuan Yang sat down heavily, waved his hand, and said helplessly.

"I don't know" was a true reflection of Xuan Yang's inner feelings. He also wanted to find out Mo Qi's true strength, but Mo Qi didn't give him the chance!

"What's going on? Didn't you meet him? How can you not know?!"

Fen Yang couldn't hold back, pacing back and forth. His inner anxiety was evident. Among the three, he was the one who feared Mo Qi the most.

It was Fen Yang who had provoked Mo Qi back then, causing Mo Qi to act openly and almost flatten the entire Meteorite Sect.

The reason for it was simply a woman!

However, so many years had passed, Mo Qi had failed back then, unable to protect the woman he loved, and Fen Yang had escaped a calamity.

Perhaps others would forget the beginning and end of this matter, but Fen Yang would never forget it in this lifetime.

Mo Qi's return would surely mean he would come for him!

"Great Master Senior Brother, Mo Qi did not make a move. He has changed a lot; he seems to have become more composed. I vaguely feel that even if his strength has not fully recovered to its peak, it probably isn't far off."

"He said he would return during this Contest of the Imperial Son to take our lives!"

Xuan Yang felt a certain fear. Just one meeting with Mo Qi, and the fear in his heart grew clearer and clearer with time.

The impression that the once peerless Mo Qi left on him was too deep!

"He... he really came back!"

Fen Yang plopped down, his eyes filled with unease.

Jin Yang glanced at the two and sighed slightly. Even after thirty thousand years, facing Mo Qi's reappearance, his two Junior Brothers were still so weak.

And what about himself?

In reality, he wasn't much better, but he thought more deeply than Xuan Yang and Fen Yang.

"Alright, what kind of behavior is this from you two?"

"We have all lived for a hundred thousand years; what kind of figures haven't we seen? Even if he returns, so what?"

"Thirty thousand years is enough to change many things!"

"Back then, Mo Qi was severely injured, even his own Dao was forcibly severed, causing his Realm to fall. We don't know how much strength he truly possesses now, so there's no need to panic and disrupt our own plans!"

Jin Yang's words were like a wake-up call, startling his two dejected Junior Brothers.

Even Xuan Yang immediately reacted, carefully recalling his encounter with Mo Qi, feeling that he had truly fallen into a fog.

He was still treating the present as thirty thousand years ago!

"Senior Brother's words have awakened me from my dream!"

"That damned Mo Qi, I almost got fooled by him. I knew why he didn't dare to confront me directly; it turns out his strength hasn't recovered at all!"

"He might not even have recovered to the Immortal Realm! Dammit, I missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Xuan Yang's face was filled with regret.

He felt that if he had been more proactive, he might have been able to capture Mo Qi, giving him no chance to escape.

Allowing Mo Qi to leave so calmly was entirely due to his momentary mistake.

"What a Mo Qi, truly too cunning!"

"I knew it; how could someone whose Dao was severed recover so quickly!"

"Third Junior Brother, you are too rash in your actions. Such a good opportunity was wasted by you. If we had caught Mo Qi, I believe Shen Tianxing would have surely jumped out, and then we could have caught them all in one go! What a pity..."

Fen Yang slapped his thigh, his face full of helplessness.

If he had known this, he should have gone out with him. At least if he and Xuan Yang had acted together, they might have truly managed to keep Mo Qi.

But now, whatever was said was useless; the opportunity had already slipped away.

Jin Yang glanced at the two, a sigh of relief in his heart.

For him, whether Mo Qi had truly recovered his cultivation was actually not important.

After all, this was the Contest of the Imperial Son. Mo Qi had already offended those people in the Inner Domain back then. If he dared to appear this time, the outcome would surely be the same as before.

"You don't need to overthink it."

"Since Mo Qi will appear during the Contest of the Imperial Son, we will just wait for him to appear."

"However, if there's an opportunity to find him and Shen Tianxing now, it's also a great chance. The positions of the Emperor's Companion are currently vacant, and it's time for those Sects to fill them in time. When the Contest of the Imperial Son begins, there can be no mistakes!"

Nothing could hinder the Contest of the Imperial Son now.

Jin Yang's decision made Fen Yang and Xuan Yang take things seriously again. The two responded in agreement and left the Golden Hall.

Time was running out!
