Cao Sheng

Chapter 697 The Return

Both Mo Qi and Sheng Nü were cultivators of the Pangu Realm. He couldn't even participate in a battle of this cultivation level, let alone help.

What disappointed her even more was that with this cultivation, she wouldn't be able to make a sacrifice when the next star of the Jinhe World collided. A sacrifice would be suicide and wouldn't achieve anything.

Did she have to sacrifice herself next time?

What a headache!

Even if she was willing to sacrifice herself next time, she had to get past today's hurdle first!

Without anyone to help, she would surely die here today.

If she couldn't get through today, what was the point of talking about the future?

At this moment, Shuo Jin pointed his hand, and countless fire swords appeared in the air, dense and forming a single mass, striking towards Sheng Nü.

The overwhelming momentum, like ten thousand horses galloping, was enough to make one's soul scatter.

Sheng Nü had no choice but to brace herself and summon countless moth phantoms, also forming a single mass, to pounce towards the opponent.

The moment the moth phantoms in front touched the sword shadows, they were instantly shattered into dust and dissipated into the air.

However, the sword shadows remained sharp and continued to whistle towards Sheng Nü.

Sheng Nü's vital energy was suppressed, and the subsequent moths were a bit weak. Under a strenuous effort, the moths began to vanish.

As one side weakened and the other grew stronger, the sky full of sword shadows pressed down on Sheng Nü's delicate body.

Sheng Nü's face immediately turned pale.

Was this what it meant to have a bitter fate?

She had just been reborn, and before she could even breathe fresh air, she was about to perish again. Was Heaven playing a joke on her?

She felt tormented and sorrowful, filled with despair.

At this moment, Mo Qi suddenly lunged forward.

Seeing Mo Qi charge forward, she felt it was a futile addition.

Why was he still coming to die, when he was clearly trying to hit a rock with an egg?

Let him die, anyway, even if he didn't come up now, Shuo Jin would definitely not let him go after killing her.

Mo Qi roared, "Sun Chasing Star Plucking Art!"

Strangely, the entire Sun Star trembled.

All the surrounding flames and lava began to flow rapidly, squeezing towards Shuo Jin.

The Heart of the Sun emitted a beam of light like an arrow, shooting out and striking towards Shuo Jin.

Seeing the fierce momentum, Shuo Jin dared not be careless. He quickly formed seals and gathered the surrounding flames.

However, what was terrifying was that at that moment, all the surrounding flames and lava became disobedient, all pressing towards him, from all directions, above and below, sealing off all escape routes.

He was dead!

This was the thought that flashed through his mind.

As expected, the sword shadows he had previously sent out were instantly shattered by the pressing flames. The tidal wave of flames did not diminish, surging forward and quickly engulfing Shuo Jin's body.

Shuo Jin used his spiritual power to resist with all his might, his body remaining as still as a mountain.

"Hahaha, I am immortal and indestructible. You can trap me, but you cannot kill me."

As soon as his words fell, with a deafening roar, the flames that enveloped him exploded on the spot, along with Shuo Jin's body, churning and spreading in the air.

A wisp of black smoke was still wandering in the air. It seemed to be Shuo Jin's soul, preparing to escape.

At this moment, a beam of light sword whistled past, striking the wisp of black smoke and scattering it into nothingness.

Sheng Nü stood there in a daze. Even now, she still didn't know what had happened, or rather, she couldn't believe that what she was seeing was real.

Shuo Jin's clone was instantly killed by Mo Qi?

This was too incredible.

Logically speaking, with his cultivation, let alone instant kill, it was impossible to even defeat the opponent.

At this moment, Mo Qi was also shocked, but after the shock, he felt it was within reason.

He had gained the right time and place by using the Sun Chasing Star Plucking Art here.

Before using it, he felt it would produce unexpected results.

But what he didn't expect was that at that moment, almost the entire Sun Star became his attacking weapon. What in this world could stop his move? He thought there was nothing.

He suddenly had a whimsical thought: "Can I take this Heart of the Sun out? If so, I would be invincible."

"No," Sheng Nü's voice became sharp and resolute, "If you do that, the entire Sun Star will be destroyed. Then, the entire Milky Way world will be plunged into darkness, and no one can predict what will happen next."

"If you're not taking it, then don't. Why are you so agitated?" Mo Qi said with a hint of regret. "Then let's go out. I don't know how long I've been in here. Maybe the outside world has already turned upside down, or maybe they are waiting for me to go out and sacrifice myself."

Sheng Nü was also a little excited. "Speaking of which, I also want to see them soon."

Mo Qi suddenly put on a stern face. "Then what about our business?"

"What business?" Sheng Nü said with a blush.

"Are you asking the obvious?"

"I don't know," Sheng Nü shook her head. "Let's take it one step at a time."

After speaking, she turned and walked out first.

When they reached the outer layer, the two saw a figure struggling in the sea of fire, as if they had stumbled in by accident and discovered that it was unbearable inside.

Mo Qi looked closely. That person was none other than Shui Han.

After Mo Qi left, Shui Han was like an ant on a hot pan, never ceasing to inquire about Mo Qi's situation.

The Queen always put her off, saying that Mo Qi was still undergoing training and would come out soon.

But she didn't know where he was training.

Later, she repeatedly asked Ye Qingqing, and Ye Qingqing let it slip.

Shui Han then learned that Mo Qi had entered the Sun Star.

Moreover, she would have to enter sooner or later.

Since she had to enter sooner or later, she might as well enter earlier.

Because after so many years, she didn't believe Mo Qi was still alive.

Even though the Queen had told her many times that she sensed Mo Qi was still alive, she still didn't believe it.

So she ventured in alone.

Her cultivation was already high enough, but she couldn't bear it in the outer space. After persisting for a few months, her body and mind could no longer support it. Her entire body rapidly decayed and was about to be incinerated. She had no choice but to struggle.

Mo Qi immediately flew over, forcefully pushed back the flames in front of her, and quickly gave her a healing pill.

Shui Han recognized Mo Qi and was overcome with both grief and joy. She no longer cared about her composure and threw herself into Mo Qi's arms.

Sheng Nü's expression changed slightly, and she turned her back.

At this time, five more years had passed in the outside world.

Gong Gong had occupied most of the star islands of the He Palace and the He World. The Fish Clan leader had defected to Gong Gong, and although the Great Emperor had the Earth Book, he was defeated by Gong Gong. Gong Gong almost killed the Great Emperor. At this moment, the Four Emperors sent by the Heavenly Emperor arrived, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Earlier, Xi Cai Fa, dissatisfied with Mo Qi's long absence, had advised Shui Han to lead the team away. Shui Han disagreed, and the two had a big argument, parting on bad terms. That night, Xi Cai Fa left the Guang World and returned to report to the Heavenly Emperor on his own accord.

Qin Xiao, disheartened, also quietly left the Guang World and headed towards the Jinri Realm of the He Zuo World.

Meanwhile, Ji Zhu had secretly fallen for the tall woman. Ji Zhu was immersed in the gentle embrace of the woman day after day and was unwilling to leave.

However, his affair with the tall woman, Weng Jing, was discovered by the Queen. The Queen sent people to arrest the two and interrogate them in the hall. They confessed their guilt and said they were willing to accept punishment, even to die together.

Seeing their stubbornness, the Queen was furious and ordered her subordinates to drag them out and behead them.

At this moment, Mo Qi, Sheng Nü, and Shui Han returned, just in time to witness this scene.

Sheng Nü immediately stopped them, telling the subordinates to stand down for the time being.

When the Queen saw Sheng Nü, she was stunned. She got down from her throne and prostrated herself on the ground, weeping with joy: "Master, you've returned."

Xue Ying and the others also wept with joy when they saw Mo Qi.

Qi Ao Lai stepped forward and held Mo Qi's hand, his eyes moist: "Brother, I thought you weren't coming back. Or that you had already left."

"How could that be? We came as envoys, and we must return together," Mo Qi said.

Xue Ying, who had been worried daily, had turned her hair white. Seeing Mo Qi return, she was overjoyed and threw herself into Mo Qi's arms, sobbing softly.

Mo Qi gently patted her shoulder and whispered to comfort her: "It's alright now, it's alright."

Qi Ao Lai tactfully walked away.

Everyone present prostrated themselves before Sheng Nü. Sheng Nü waved her hand, telling them to rise, and instead of sitting on the throne, she took a seat on a nearby chair.

After comforting Xue Ying for a while, Mo Qi gently pushed her away and bowed to the Queen: "Mother, I'm back."

"She's your mother?" Sheng Nü felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned red then white, then white then red.
