Chapter 23

Chapter 23

The night wind screamed, it was still in the midst of the mountain forest, thick and massive clouds accumulated in the sky, it covered the stars and the moon, and a thunderstorm rose up. It was precisely an austere time between heaven and earth.

With every step, Mo Qing stepped forward that created a gale that became stronger like a burst of oppressive force. As he approached nearer and nearer, I could feel Jiang Wus hand clutching my wrist more and more rigidly.

Mo Qing was exerting pressure on him.

Although like this, the arrogant smile on the corner of Jiang Wus mouth still did not diminish at all. He narrowed his eyes to look at Mo Qing up and down, and then his eyes fell on the sword at Mo Qings waist.

I only saw that long sword compared to him and the Wan Jun Sword at his waist was about the same length. Yet the hilt of that sword was coarse and the body of the sword was like a bolt of lightning. It was accompanied by the sounds of crackling echoes and gave off a constant glow.

Oh, Liu He Tian Yi Sword. That lightning bolt just now was the formidable power of this sword. Jiang Wu laughed, So yesterday, Li Sect Leader actually went out in search of this sword.

It was genuinely an extremely ostentatious sword that dazzled the eyes. My eyes lit up and my heart told itself that it certainly was not wrong at all. This sword was extremely suitable to my taste!

And within such a short period of time, Mo Qing had unexpectedly brought this sword back from overseas!

I lost my soul and advanced forward with the desire to hold that sword in my hand. Good swords could only be discovered by chance and not sought after! But I was swiftly and rigidly dragged back by Jiang Wu. I was a little unhappy and scowled, but an even more unhappy voice could be heard from over there: Let go.

Mo Qing ordered.

Jiang Wu sneered: So what if I dont let go?

Im not negotiating with you.

Mo Qing went forward with a single step and the pressure in the air suddenly increased. What came next was a sharp blade that condensed together from the pressure. It tore directly through the air and went straight towards Jiang Wus neck. Jiang Wu tilted his head to dodge and avoid the first shot. But the second blade that came after sliced his cheek creating a deep wound. Fresh blood dripped down and made his complexion a little unsightly.

But over there, it looked like Mo Qing was silently enduring a raging fury that rose to the heavens and a dense dark mass that was burning alongside his body.

I saw these two people single-mindedly faced each other fiercely. I gathered up my power and seized the opportunity to utilize the Instant Shadow Technique once. In a blink of an eye, I landed behind Mo Qing but then this body of Zhi Yan came under that pressure that the legs were already weakened to fall directly onto the butt and sat down on the ground.

I raised my head to look up, I saw Mo Qings back was directly in front of me and my heart immediately became calm. Then I looked across the distance, I saw Jiang Wus gloomy eyes staring at me. The corners of his mouth curled up with a domineering and sinister smile while fuming with rage between his gritted teeth: Little Beauty, didnt you say that you admired me? Why are you running now?

Ai yo! You want my ghostly life!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Right now, Mo Qing was indeed an individual that possessed a wildly jealous nature, you saying these words would make him misunderstand me more! Although I had said this before but at the moment, even if I was beaten to death, I would not admit it!

My mind went around in a circle, I thought about how I would explain this in a relatively reasonable way when I heard Jiang Wus smothered groan. He quickly unsheathed the sword at his waist and suddenly used it for support against the ground. He was unexpectedly pressured to bend down on his knees by the imposing energy around Mo Qings body.

Step by step, Mo Qing approached him. Every step taken was like adding ten million catties onto his body. It caused Jiang Wu to struggle and clench his teeth while his blue veins protruded. His knees could not withstand it and slowly knelt onto the ground, too.

* catties ancient Chinese unit of measurement, equal to 0.5kg 0.6kg

Xin Mountain Jiang Wu, you just ventured from your thatched hut for the first time but you have an arrogant disposition, and created a rift between the two paths of celestial and demonic sects. As Mo Qing coldly spoke, he walked closer to Jiang Wu. A huge pressure forced Jiang Wu to kneel down in defeat, Your tranquility in these few years, who did you think allowed it?

It was a phrase that I used to say before. If it was not possible to make someone be sincerely convinced, then that persons all five body components must be indoctrinated.

Just let him kneel and talk.

Mo Qing governed the sect and did not learn my other skills but on this point, he learned it quite well.

As far as Jiang Wu was concerned, Mo Qings power was absolutely stifling. From start to finish, he did not move a single finger.

I thought Jiang Wus strength was at least equal to or even higher than North Mountain Lords dimension. Yet unexpectedly, Mo Qing could completely dominate him with such superiority.

In these past years, the Demon Kings son who broke the seals, in the end, what form had he changed into

I bestowed upon him a tight embrace. Mo Qings hand came to rest gently at my side. He appeared to have distractedly lost his soul.

I rubbed and rubbed my cheek against his chest, That Jiang Wu, he captured me, imprisoned me, made me drink alcohol, and also wanted to seize the opportunity to take advantage of me! He is a really wretched bastard! Master, the next time you see him, you must help me beat him to death!

In short, it was the right choice to push this whole matter onto Jiang Wu. Anyways, he had no way to refute it. Later if he and Mo Qing truly met again, it still would be impossible for them to sit down for a drink, have a heart-to-heart chat, and talk about what happened in the past, right?

I pretended to bawl and whimper for a spell and did not see Mo Qing patting my back in comfort. I only heard him respond with a reply: Okay.

I took a step back slightly and wanted to look at Mo Qings facial expression, but I saw him turned his face away and immediately tugged at my hand: Lets first return to Chen Ji Mountain. When his voice ended, he instantly traveled away. But in that brief moment of travel, I seemed to have vaguely seen the base of his ear displayed a little bit of redness when he turned his head away from me.

By the time when the instant travel came to an end, I stood firmly on my feet at Wu E Hall. I raised my head to look; Mo Qings expression was still as indifferent as before. Where did I see that little bit of blushing?

Forget it, who cares that a moment ago he was embarrassed or not. Anyhow, Jiang Wus ambiguity was considered resolved this time. I managed to stabilize Mo Qings moodiness. I felt I was very successful: Master. I sweetly called out to him. I was about to tell him to get the sword at his waist, but then I saw the color of the horizon brightened and Zhi Yans soul swiftly returned. I was knocked out of her body.

Zhi Yan raised her head to see Mo Qing. She promptly became stupid and immediately turned into a wooden person.

The light in Mo Qings eyes stared at her indifferently.

I hurriedly gestured to Zhi Yan: Hurry, I, uh, fall into his chest, act coquettishly towards him, and show him obedience. Make him give you the sword! But when Zhi Yan heard my words, she only stiffened up and dragged out a smile: Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma She trembled and stuttered repeatedly. Finally, she gave up and said, Excuse me for my impropriety I feel a little tired. It seems like I need to rest for a bit

Ah

Mo Qing withdrew back a step and recollected the light in his eyes: Then return to your room.

It appeared that Zhi Yan had not managed to recover where this place was yet. So like a headless fly, she turned around in a circle, eventually found the direction, and went into Zhuo Chen Hall. She walked in that direction to return to her room and I was not worried at all. But on this side with Mo Qing, Gu Han Guang found his way here.

Gu Han Guang glanced at Zhi Yans back and immediately murmured a remark: Oh, its actually true that she was in Jiang City on Liu Street?

When I heard these words, I immediately felt a little awkward.

Mo Qing asked him: Who brought the news to you?

Lu Zhao Yao. Gu Han Guang smiled and said, She entrusted me with the dream.

When Mo Qing heard what was said, his complexion was indeed once again changed for the worse.

Yet Gu Han Guang still continued to say, I heard Qin Qian Xian said that the reason he went there, too, was because an old friend entrusted him with the dream. It was probably Lu Zhao Yao, too. Gu Han Guang laughed, She still is indeed an undispersed soul.

I looked up and down at Mo Qings complexion. I watched it intently; his coloring had become even more severe. He knew that Lu Zhao Yao was still operating at his side, and she still was able to mobilize his South Mountain Lord and Qin Qian Xian. He must surely felt that his own position was threatened!

This loathsome youngster, Gu Han Guang! I gave you a job but you did not do it well and you still in return brought trouble to me!

Mo Qing was aware that Zhi Yan and I have such a good relationship, he would be on guard with Zhi Yan! He probably would not give Liu He Tian Yi Sword to me anymore!

Apparently, the next thing to do was to show loyalty towards Mo Qing. This type of matter should not be drag out, even if I made Zhi Yan go do it, it had to be done quickly. The more suspicious he was, the more doubtful he would be, and then the more difficult it would be to dispel the apprehensions in his heart.

I floated back to the room to find Zhi Yan and talked to her. She was a little baffled and used the emotions in her eyes to ask me: So, how can I show a semblance of more loyalty?

North Mountain Lords matter, you can tell Mo Qing and also some details about my current situation, you can explain to him the appropriate details. Provide some intelligence for him. Let him think that you are on his side.

Zhi Yan nodded and gathered up enough courage to go, but only a moment later, she was sent back. She looked at me: Hes busy. He said to come back in the evening.

In the evening Then did that not mean that it was still me!

If it was not for this substitute body of Zhi Yans, then I thoroughly thought that Mo Qing was deliberately targeting me!
