The hurricane formed a vortex, spiraling towards the opening. Those around lost their footing and tumbled into the void. Simultaneously, chairs, stools, teacups, and all other objects stumbled and rolled into the abyssal chasm. Black mist filled the opening, like the stomach acid of a beast, melting everything it touched as it flowed.
Several peak masters, losing their balance, were dragged into the opening and instantly turned into pulp, sinking down.
A few more peak masters and elders struggled desperately, trying to break free from the wind's grip.
However, the gale was like a rope, holding them fast. Once bound, they could not escape, and it continuously dragged them deeper into the abyss.
Some clung to pillars, others to each other, resisting with all their might.
Mo Qi, suspended in mid-air, had nothing to grab. He could only rely on his own spiritual energy to resist, but it was an arduous struggle. He poured out almost all his lifelong spiritual energy, yet still couldn't stop himself from sinking into the abyss.
At this point, saving others was out of the question; he could barely save himself.
You Yu laughed maniacally, "Talk back to me again! Go on, talk back! Why aren't you saying anything now?"
"Bitch, if I don't show you some color, you'll always think your mouth can conquer everything. To dare to spout nonsense without strength, truly, it infuriates me."
Mo Qi saw his body nearing the opening and panicked. He glanced into the dark abyss, and his soul nearly left his body. If he were dragged in, he would surely be annihilated, and even his indestructible body would not escape a dire fate.
He couldn't just wait to die. Whatever the method, he had to make a final effort!
With this thought, Mo Qi took out an explosive pill and hurled it into the opening.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar, like the sky and earth shattering, erupted. A white light spread from one side, instantly filling his entire vision.
Powerful air currents surged in all directions, pushing Mo Qi and the surrounding Divine Pill Sect disciples outward, scattering them in different directions.
"Rumble!"
The roof shattered, tiles flying everywhere. Mo Qi's body went straight through the roof.
Having escaped the abyss's suction, Mo Qi stabilized himself in the air, darted to the side, and landed steadily on the ground before the main hall's entrance.
You Yu, ignoring everyone else, chased out of the hall, intending to repeat his earlier move, the Nine Nether White Bone Claw, on Mo Qi.
Mo Qi dared not underestimate him and immediately struck first, unleashing the Primordial Golden Cauldron. A dark shadow flashed through the air, scattering You Yu's body.
You Yu, also a Great Luo Golden Immortal, could reassemble his body after it was dispersed.
However, Mo Qi gave him no chance, immediately urging his spiritual power. Another dark shadow flashed through the air.
With a low hum, the shadow swept through the air like a massive wave crashing onto a beach during high tide, washing away everything.
The shadow vanished in an instant, and You Yu's dispersed body and soul were cleanly scoured away.
The air was spotless, clear as the sky after rain.
Mo Qi retracted the Primordial Golden Cauldron and sighed, "Alas, I didn't even get to tell him that my strength isn't just in my words."
At this moment, Lai Yaoshi and others stumbled out of the hall. Seeing Mo Qi standing alone, unaware of what had happened, they exchanged bewildered glances.
"Where is You Yu?" Lai Yaoshi asked, confused.
"I killed him," Mo Qi replied nonchalantly.
"Killed him?" Everyone was exceptionally shocked.
But the situation before them left them no choice but to believe. Given You Yu's arrogant demeanor just moments ago, he wouldn't have simply left.
The two were certainly to fight to the death. If Mo Qi was alive, then You Yu must be dead.
Lai Yaoshi, with a fawning smile, approached to clap Mo Qi on the back.
Before he could speak, Mo Qi handed him a Meteorite Spirit Stone. "This is a Meteorite Spirit Stone. It can remove the restrictions on everyone. Take it and use it. Have everyone line up to be detoxified. I'll go to your mine to see if there are any more of these spirit stones. We'll split up. When I return, you'll return the spirit stone to me, and then I'll leave."
Lai Yaoshi took the stone, examining it as he spoke, "In such a hurry?"
Of course, he was in a hurry!
As soon as Mo Qi came out, he regretted it. During this time, he had left the Lingxiao Sect. What if the Fruit King sent people to attack the Lingxiao Sect? Although he had set up a barrier, who could guarantee it wouldn't be broken?
If the barrier was broken, General Duan and General Feng could only hold out for a while. The rest would be the Fruit King's indigenous people's frenzied slaughter of the Lingxiao Sect disciples!
Just as Mo Qi was about to answer and tell him he was indeed in a hurry, Lai Yaoshi, holding the spirit stone, asked again, "Is this really useful?"
"Of course, it's useful. Countless people have tested it," Mo Qi replied.
After speaking, he left for the mine without waiting for Lai Yaoshi's reply.
He released the little one. After searching inside, to his excitement, the little one found more than a dozen Meteorite Spirit Stones.
This was enough to solve many problems, at least allowing him to avoid such arduous travel.
He then returned to the detoxification site of Lai Yaoshi and told him that the spirit stone didn't need to be returned. He could use it to save not only the Divine Pill Sect disciples but also people from other sects.
After saying this, he was about to leave. Lai Yaoshi said, "Aren't you going to check on Yaochi Peak? Your cousin is still there."
Mo Qi thought about it. It had been twenty years since he last sent Mo Zhenzhen. She was just a little girl then; he wondered what she looked like now. He really needed to go and see her.
Mo Qi then gave Lai Yaoshi three more spirit stones, asking him to arrange the detoxification for the other three major sects and smaller factions. He left the specific operations to Lai Yaoshi, but also repeatedly instructed him that while he could make money, he must not lose his principles.
Lai Yaoshi immediately patted his chest, "Don't worry, in the face of major right and wrong, I know what's important." Then, with a wink, he added, "Hurry to Yaochi Peak. Someone... your cousin has been waiting for you there for a long time."
Mo Qi felt inexplicably strange. At his age, why was he winking and acting flirtatiously?
Then, he ascended Yaochi Peak. The Snow Woman, having heard that there was a spirit medicine to lift the restrictions at the foot of the mountain, informed those under the restriction to go down and be detoxified, and emerged from her cave dwelling, preparing to fly down.
Mo Qi happened to be coming up from the foot of the mountain, landing before her, a few dozen feet away.
Their eyes met!
Then, with tears welling up in her eyes, the Snow Woman rushed towards him and threw herself into his embrace.
Mo Qi gently stroked her shoulder, remaining silent.
Snowflakes drifted down, making a soft rustling sound as they landed, accentuating the surrounding tranquility, much like their own peaceful state of mind at that moment.
At this point, a weak voice asked, "Are you my brother?"
Startled, they immediately separated.
Mo Zhenzhen was several times larger than she was back then, but her former self was still faintly discernible.
She stood to the side, gazing fixedly at Mo Qi.
Mo Qi touched her head, "If not your brother, then who could it be?"
Mo Zhenzhen also threw herself into Mo Qi's embrace. Mo Qi smiled and was about to stroke her head again when she moved away, pushing the stunned Snow Woman beside her forward, "You two continue."
Then, wiping away her tears, she went inside.
This girl had left them both frozen and bewildered.
A moment later, they both burst into laughter.
Mo Qi suddenly remembered his business and took out a spirit stone. "It seems you're under a restriction. I'll help you remove it."
The Snow Woman remained still. Mo Qi placed the spirit stone on her back and channeled his spiritual energy. The stone gradually dissolved the restriction within her body.
Watching Mo Qi put away the spirit stone, the Snow Woman was deeply moved. "I thought I would turn into a monster. I heard them say that those who fall under this restriction eventually become monsters."
Mo Qi immediately seized the opportunity to boast, "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let even the slightest accident happen to you."
He expected the Snow Woman to roll her eyes, but instead, she nodded. "Yes, seeing you, I feel much more at ease. You always give me a sense of security."
Mo Qi felt a bit elated. "Then from now on, you follow me, and I'll take you to the heavens and the earth."
He had secretly probed her just now and was horrified to discover that the Snow Woman was already at the Great Perfection of the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, just one step away from the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
This was too terrifying. What had she experienced?
Did she have an experience similar to his own?
More than terror, it was surprise. The closer the Snow Woman's cultivation was to his, the more likely he was to take her to the heavens and the earth. Otherwise, if he could go where she couldn't, they would only be separated.
At this moment, the Snow Woman finally rolled her eyes. "Why should I follow you?"
Mo Qi stared into her eyes and retorted, "If you don't follow me, who do you plan to follow?"
"Scoundrel!" the Snow Woman softly cursed, turning to go inside. "Go and see your sister. You haven't seen her in so many years, and she thinks of you every day. I was shocked when I learned she was your sister."
Mo Qi stood still. "She's gone. All of you, come with me!"
The Snow Woman stopped and slowly turned her head. "Where are we going?"
"To the heavens and the earth!"
"You're so unfocused!"
At this moment, Zhenzhen rushed out and headed straight down the mountain. "Let's go!"
The Snow Woman looked at her retreating back and shook her head. "Even if we're leaving, shouldn't we inform our master?"
After saying this, she turned back towards Han Bing's cave dwelling. Mo Qi followed, walking alongside her.
The Snow Woman suddenly said dryly, "The woman on the ice bed in that stone chamber, aren't you taking her?"
Mo Qi knew she was referring to Zhen Zhen.
"Let the past be the past. The most important thing is to cherish the person before you," Mo Qi said meaningfully.
The Snow Woman's heart bloomed with joy.
Mo Qi, meanwhile, secretly praised his own cleverness.
"I heard you've been trying to revive her?" the Snow Woman asked again.
"I was stubborn back then. Now I've come to my senses. Some things, when it's time to let go, you should let go. Otherwise, everyone will be miserable," Mo Qi said.
If he hadn't known that Zhen Zhen had already been reborn, he wouldn't have let go!
But the Snow Woman was satisfied with this answer and no longer pressed the issue.
The two went to see Han Bing and bid her farewell. Da Feng Novel Network.
Han Bing readily agreed and greatly praised Mo Qi for being able to remove everyone's restrictions, making Mo Qi feel even more elated.
The three left the Divine Pill Sect and headed straight for the Lingxiao Sect.
