By rights, the Myriad Sword Sect was the "post-Myriad Sword Sect," a new-style university built upon the foundation of the former Yan Yun Sword Sect, and should not have issued a sect-closing order.
However, the current situation was turbulent, and if he were to forcibly take Mo Fei away, it would also lead to conflict with Yi Tian Xing. Therefore, it was better to inquire about the situation and, if necessary, then demand to take Mo Fei away.
"Sect closing?" Mo Chuan frowned and asked, "Then can we see the Sect Master?"
"This..." The gatekeeper was clearly at a loss and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"It's young friend Mo Chuan, looking for Mo Fei, right?"
Mo Chuan and the other two looked up as the gatekeeper spoke, and saw Yi Tian Xing approaching, floating on a long sword with a red body and white edge. After landing, the gatekeeper immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."
Mo Chuan and the other two also politely bowed.
"Ah Hu, you go patrol the mountain elsewhere first. I have something to say to this young friend." Kuai Shu Ge
The gatekeeper nodded, and a white mist rose, transforming into a fierce tiger with a determined gaze, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a sword box on its back. It slowly walked towards the mountainside on its four legs.
"Young friend, you left the capital and should have gone to the Dunhuang ruins, right? Why did you come back so quickly?" Yi Tian Xing asked with a kindly smile.
"There were some accidents, and the ruins closed early, so I came back directly," Mo Chuan said after some deliberation. "Sect Master, I want to take Mo Fei with me now... to go out and play. After all, I'm quite worried about her current situation..."
"Mo Fei can't go anywhere right now," Yi Tian Xing shook his head and said. "Did you enter some kind of ruins from another space before?"
"Uh... yes."
"Mo Fei must have left a mark on you. After you entered that relic, she couldn't sense your life aura anymore."
"Then, she triggered an unprecedented demonic energy surge, even causing many demonic swords in the Sword Tomb to resonate."
"In the end, I personally intervened and spent a lot of effort to suppress her in the Sword Tomb, using the ancient sword qi within the Sword Tomb to reduce her demonic intent."
"Do you see that bald patch on the mountaintop?"
"That's where she went berserk at that time. The pure and dense demonic energy directly reduced the vegetation and rocks there to powder."
"...Sect Master, my sister didn't cause any casualties, did she?" Mo Chuan was actually prepared to take out a loan for compensation when he said this.
"No... As an eighth-tier cultivator, suppressing a young girl who had just advanced to the seventh tier was very easy. I just spent most of my effort preventing her from harming others."
"Thank you, Sect Master..." Mo Chuan bowed very solemnly to Yi Tian Xing and thanked him. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Sect Master... can I go see Mo Fei? Just a glance..."
"You are her inner demon right now. If she sees you, her demonic energy might surge again..."
"Sect Master..." Mo Chuan bowed deeply to Yi Tian Xing again. When he looked up again, his eyes were already moist. "Please, Sect Master, grant me this favor and fulfill this flesh-and-blood sentiment."
"Just a glance... a distant glance..." Mo Chuan extended his finger, which was even trembling slightly.
The Dragon Country was in turmoil, and his sister had gone berserk again because of him. He was already very uneasy about not being able to take care of her. Moreover, he had to go to that small place, Neon, to handle his arrangements. If he couldn't see Mo Fei's condition one last time, he feared he would never be at peace.
"...Alright." Yi Tian Xing was silent for a moment, summoned his Chi Xiao sword, and took Mo Chuan into the sky, leaving Tang Jing Jing and Luo Ni outside the sect gate.
Green clouds surged overhead, and the wind whistled past his ears.
High in the sky, Mo Chuan clearly saw the overall appearance of the Myriad Sword Sect – the entire sect was built winding along Yan Mountain. The sect's three halls: the Sword God Hall, the Discipline Hall, and the Sculpture Heart Hall, were each situated on the three highest peaks of Yan Mountain. The sect was traversed by a main road. The southern end of the main road was the mountain gate, and the northern end was the ancient Beikou Pass of the Great Wall. Outside the sect's protective formation, further north was the eastern section of the ancient Great Wall, and beyond the Great Wall lay the Dragon Country's famous Yan Nan Beast Ecological Zone.
As Yi Tian Xing slowly descended, Mo Chuan gradually saw the Sword Tomb hidden among the mountains – vast expanses of broken swords, ancient swords, new swords, and even sword blanks, planted in the mountains like tombs.
And in the very center of the Sword Tomb, forty-nine golden locks suppressed a mass of purple demonic energy in the middle.
Relying on his soul cultivation's perception of the soul, Mo Chuan felt a restless soul within that mass of demonic energy.
"Mo Fei..."
Even from a distance, the demonic energy immediately showed signs of surging at the next moment Mo Chuan muttered to himself.
"No, we're leaving immediately." Seeing that the situation was not right, Yi Tian Xing immediately took Mo Chuan away from the Myriad Sword Sect.
However, a bracelet that Mo Chuan had bought for Mo Fei in Yumeng slipped from Mo Chuan's pocket and slowly fell towards the Sword Tomb from high in the sky.
This bracelet was made of immovable stone. Mo Chuan had intended to surprise Mo Fei with it when they met, but he didn't expect to be forced to leave the Myriad Sword Sect without even seeing her.
Perhaps it was fate, but when the bracelet was blown by the wind, it was snatched by a magpie. As the magpie passed through the golden lock formation, a very hidden and subtle sword qi struck the magpie dead, and then the bracelet was wrapped in a soft demonic energy and slowly sent into the formation.
Within the formation, inside the swirling demonic energy, a beautiful figure with black-purple hair put away her long sword and reached out to catch the bracelet.
"Brother..."
...
After Mo Chuan left the Myriad Sword Sect, he tidied up a bit, bought a few clothes for Luo Ni, and then boarded a fast ship specifically arranged for him to Neon.
"Get out of my way, Ji Wa! Mo Sang, I am an envoy sent by Miss Mitsui to receive you. You can call me Fukuda!" A well-dressed middle-aged man bowed to Mo Chuan and said.
Mo Chuan nodded, shook his hand perfunctorily, listened to his explanation of the voyage (Dàzuǒ Chinese), and then took the two women into the cabin.
Luo Ni unexpectedly chose to sleep in a hammock. Because she had lived inland for hundreds of years, she had looked pale when she first boarded the ship. If she hadn't adjusted her position with her levitation ability, she would have probably thrown up by now. Sleeping in a hammock could make her feel more comfortable, as she could adjust her spatial position along with the hammock.
After eating the expected sashimi "feast" (Mo Chuan, for some unknown reason, did not like raw food but did not refuse it), he heard Fukuda say that there was a small hot spring bath on the ship and decided to try it.
Sitting in the hot pool, Mo Chuan gradually relaxed his body and nerves, and then remembered that he still had a golden gift package to open.
"System, open the golden gift package."
"Ding! Host opens the golden gift package and receives: 3000 experience points; Random Skill Card *1; Skin Sharing Series: [Liliana - High Noon], [Vayne - Project: Hunters], [Darius - God King], [Ahri - K/DA], [Yorick - Arclight], [Azir - Warring Kingdoms] [Volibear - Storm Dragon]."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for leveling up!"
"The host is now level 15 and has automatically learned the Skaarl the Cowardly Lion skill [Thorny Maul] (Modified)."
"[Thorny Maul] (Modified): Slam the ground with the lantern, dealing area magic damage. If this skill hits only one enemy, the damage is increased to 120% - 200% (depending on the target's missing health, reaching the maximum at 50% health)."
"???"
Mo Chuan looked at the full backpack of skins and scratched his head, saying, "System, what is this skin sharing series?"
"If the host does not possess a hero but has a skin for that hero, that skin will automatically become part of the Skin Sharing Series. The host can gift skins from this series to others. After equipping the skin, others will integrate the skin's characteristics and gain some of that hero's skills."
