Wu Qi Xian felt the spiritual energy and mental power within him surging, ebbing and flowing like a tide, powerful and unrestrained.
Seeing everyone watching him expectantly, he held his breath, said, "Excuse me for a moment," and went into the inner room.
Mo Qi felt there was hope, while others felt disaster was imminent, fearing they might be poisoned!
Xin'er glared fiercely at Mo Qi, as if they had an irreconcilable hatred: "What did you give my father?"
"Nothing much," Mo Qi felt utterly innocent. "It's a medicinal pill for treating illness."
"A medicinal pill for treating illness? Why is he like this after taking it?" Xin'er said angrily.
At this moment, Li Qi suddenly thought of something and turned to Li Yuan, saying, "Father, isn't it possible that Wu Qi Xian is afraid to fight and is using this as an excuse to hide?"
Li Yuan nodded in deep agreement: "Yes, that must be it."
Li Qi glanced at Mo Qi: "You guys aren't in cahoots, are you?"
Mo Qi felt bewildered. He had seen Wu Qi Xian suffering from qi deviation and kindly gave him a pill, but now his relatives resented him, and his enemies also resented him.
He was truly caught between a rock and a hard place!
Mo Qi was so angry he felt like spitting blood: "In cahoots? How could I be in cahoots? How would I know you were coming?"
"Just now, you transmitted a message to him," Li Qi said.
Speechless!
It was truly a case of wanting to condemn someone, and finding fault was easy!
Li Yuan, however, said to Li Qi: "Go and see if Wu Qi Xian is still in the back. If he is, call him out."
Li Qi agreed and was about to go to the back when a voice came from behind: "No need."
The voice was deep and resonant, like rolling thunder or booming drums, each sound making people's hearts tremble.
Everyone turned to look and saw Wu Qi Xian walking out.
He moved with the speed of a swift horse, his face flushed with vigor, his spirit high.
His demeanor was like a swift horse that had shed its heavy burden, or a fierce beast that had broken its shackles.
With every step, he seemed to carry the wind, and with every glance, he seemed to shatter the void.
Everyone felt that between entering and exiting, Wu Qi Xian had undergone a complete transformation!
Li Yuan couldn't help but tremble. Indeed, there seemed to be a change!
Mo Qi looked smug and pleased: As expected, as expected!
Wu Qi Xian walked directly towards Li Yuan, like a giant mountain bearing down: "Do you really want to challenge me?"
Li Yuan's body suddenly flew up, like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the wall and embedding himself in it.
He struggled for a long time, unable to get out.
After a few moments of stunned silence, Li Qi and Li Li rushed over, grabbed his arms, and pulled him out.
Li Yuan still hadn't recovered his senses.
Even before Wu Qi Xian had suffered from qi deviation, he had never displayed such overwhelming dominance in front of him.
And now, he had been utterly crushed!
Could it be that the pill, besides solving his qi deviation problem, could also greatly improve his cultivation?
What kind of pill was that?
He couldn't help but look at Mo Qi again.
As he looked at Mo Qi, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which made Mo Qi feel a sense of dread!
Apart from him, Wu Qi Xian himself was also extremely shocked. This pill was truly heaven-defying!
It seemed this young man was indeed extraordinary.
What others couldn't accomplish, he did with ease.
What others found as difficult as climbing to the heavens, he found as easy as flipping his hand.
At this moment, Li Qi and Li Li were supporting the dejected Li Yuan as they walked out.
Wu Qi Xian's figure flashed, blocking the path of the three of them: "Wait!"
The three were startled, and then Li Yuan said with a crying face: "Patriarch, I acknowledge you as the Patriarch. I will never doubt your position and authority again!"
Wu Qi Xian said calmly: "That is a given, but what I want to say is that you must discipline Li Li properly. If he offends again, it won't be just a beating. According to tribal rules, I will kill him."
He spoke these venomous words in an unhurried tone, which made people's hearts grow cold.
Li Yuan nodded like pounding garlic: "I will definitely discipline him well, discipline him well!"
"Good, that's good," Wu Qi Xian nodded. "Go and inform all the elders to come for a meeting. I want to discuss the matter of forming an alliance with the Yi Mo Sect."
"Yes, yes," Li Yuan repeatedly agreed and left, supported by Li Qi and his son.
A moment later, all the elders arrived, including Li Yuan, who seemed to have recovered somewhat and returned without needing to be supported by Li Qi and his son.
After Wu Qi Xian explained Mo Qi's purpose, the elders began to discuss, descending into chaos.
"An alliance? Our Wu Clan has been hidden for so many years and only recently enjoyed peaceful days. We don't want to break this tranquility."
"What is the Yi Mo Sect? Why should they cooperate with us?"
"What benefits do we get from cooperation?"
Wu Qi Xian finally managed to silence their clamor and said: "He can cure those who have been poisoned by the Sparrow Fragment Spirit Stones, including our own people."
Silence immediately fell.
Then, another wave of noise and boos erupted.
This made Wu Qi Xian feel uncertain.
However, he still said solemnly: "How about this, let's all go and see. We can witness Mr. Mo's rescue efforts firsthand."
Everyone agreed!
However, everyone was there with the mentality of watching a spectacle, wanting to see the scene unfold.
Afterward, led by Wu Qi Xian, the group went to the homes of several people poisoned by the Sparrow Fragment Spirit Stones. Under everyone's witness, Mo Qi personally detoxified them with his antidote pills.
Everyone was greatly shocked!
This seemingly insignificant person had accomplished something earth-shattering!
However, this only proved that Mo Qi had the ability to rally a team.
Many people were content with their current situation and did not want to get involved in the conflict against the Demon Emperor.
Mo Qi told them: "When the time comes, we will have as many people as we need. We only ask you to send one or two top experts, just enough to prevent the opponent's top experts from dominating the situation."
Seeing the silence in the hall and the troubled expressions on everyone's faces, Wu Qi Xian pulled Mo Qi aside and said in a low voice: "Come with me."
Mo Qi thought he was going to say something like, "See, no one is willing to help, I'm powerless," and felt a bit disappointed.
But he still followed.
"Ahem," Wu Qi Xian coughed in a corner, "If you had said this earlier, I would have sent Xin'er to help you."
Mo Qi's mouth twitched: "Are you joking? I need experts, not a child."
Wu Qi Xian said seriously: "She is not a child."
Mo Qi was taken aback, then said: "But her cultivation is indeed limited. She can't even beat me, how can she deter enemies? I need someone with deterrence."
"Can't beat you?" Wu Qi Xian was shocked. "Did you fight? Did you?"
Mo Qi nodded: "Of course we fought. She lost to me and almost cried."
Wu Qi Xian immediately said with certainty: "Then she must have been playing with you."
Mo Qi was somewhat speechless. It was clear that he was unwilling to help and was using a child to brush him off.
What kind of person was this? He didn't even consider his life-saving grace.
Wu Qi Xian also saw his suspicion and sadness, and smiled: "Trust me, I won't trick you."
What else could Mo Qi say?
He could only sigh, considering himself unlucky: "Forget it, then there's no need."
"How can there be no need? If you don't have experts to hold the line, you won't be able to boost morale in battle, and you will indeed suffer a disadvantage," Wu Qi Xian said sternly.
Mo Qi still resolutely disagreed, and even turned to leave. He was truly too angry.
Wu Qi Xian looked at his receding back and gave a wry smile.
The others, not knowing what they had discussed, looked at Wu Qi Xian and made sarcastic remarks: "Oh dear, Patriarch, this kind of person is not to be offended. What if one day we get poisoned, and he gets angry and abandons us? What then?"
"Get lost," Wu Qi Xian also got angry and cursed.
Mo Qi returned on his own.
Back at his residence in Mianjiang Mountain, Wei Li came over. He had already found out Qiu Li Niang's whereabouts.
