Return to the Mohist School
A tremendous roar resounded, and the smoke and dust dissipated.
The woman with red eyes spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the light in her red eyes dimmed slightly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mo Zuili stepped forward and used the Phoenix Flame Spear, which gathered spiritual power, to pierce her brow. The red-eyed woman's body stiffened, and the flesh and blood on her ten fingers and face slowly turned into black smoke and dissipated, revealing her bare white bones.
Mo Zuili carefully examined the corpse for a long time before getting up to check on Shen Qingxing's condition.
With his Nascent Soul cultivation no longer concealed and his full aura unleashed, the demonic cultivator who had just threatened to attack together now wisely shrank to the side and begged for mercy.
The red-eyed woman who had provoked Shen Qingxing was dealt with early on and left aside.
Withdrawing her gaze, Mo Zuili gripped the Phoenix Flame Spear, a smile playing on her lips, and turned to walk outside.
He threw the Phoenix Flame Spear in one direction, and a scream rang out.
Mo Zuili slowly walked over, pulled out the Phoenix Flame Spear stuck in the demon cultivator's body, and said, "You're quite good at escaping."
The gray-robed demon cultivator, his face ashen, was thrown into the shop by Mo Zuili.
Seeing that Shen Qingxing was about to unleash a massacre, Mo Zuili looked at the pills on display on the first floor of the shop, cleared her throat and said, "Does your shop have methods to strengthen one's foundation and repair one's meridians? Or methods that allow human cultivators to cultivate in the Demon Realm without changing their cultivation techniques?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the gray-robed demonic cultivator, who had just been thrown back by Mo Zuili, suddenly lit up with excitement and scrambled forward, faster than the other demonic cultivators: "I have! I have a way to consolidate my foundation."
"Don't try to fool me with something that demonic cultivators use; I need something that demons can use," Mo Zuili said calmly.
Seeing that Shen Qingxing had stopped killing because of Mo Zuili's question, the gray-robed demonic cultivator hurriedly shook his head: "It can be used! It can be used by the demon race." His eyes were full of urgency as he stared at Mo Zuili, afraid that if he was a step too late, he would have no way to survive.
Mo Zuili nodded reluctantly and looked up to meet Shen Qingxing's gaze.
Shen Qingxing understood, reached out and picked up the gray-robed demonic cultivator, tossing him to Mo Zuili's side like handing over an object.
Seeing this, the other demonic cultivators all clamored that they also had their own methods.
But Mo Zuili ignored her.
“You’d better really have it.” Mo Zuili stared at the gray-robed demonic cultivator and said in a sinister tone, “Otherwise, your fate will be even worse than theirs.”
The gray-robed demonic cultivator kowtowed repeatedly, "It's true! It's absolutely true!" But when Mo Zuili asked him to produce it, he stammered, "My lord... I'll give you the method, but you have to promise to let me go."
"You still dare to negotiate at this point?" Mo Zuili sneered. "Hand it over first. If it's useful, I'll spare your life."
The gray-robed demonic cultivator gritted his teeth, pulled a yellowed tattered page from his storage ring, and handed it over.
Mo Zuili began with hope, starting with the phrase "five spiritual roots".
Mo Zuili closed her eyes and took deep breaths for a long time before opening them again to look down.
This method is more like a combination of two methods that Chu Qing gave himself.
The main method still relies on the magic array to strip away cultivation, but with the added step of taking pills to save one's life.
Seeing the gray-robed demonic cultivator staring at her, Mo Zuili concealed her disappointment and waved her hand, telling the man to get lost.
After dealing with the demonic cultivators in the shops, the two walked out of the black market side by side and headed towards the Soul-Severing Tower.
This was Shen Qingxing's first undisguised appearance near the Soul-Severing Tower since ascending to the position of Demon Lord, and the demon cultivators along the way reacted in various ways.
Most of the demonic cultivators, wary of Shen Qingxing's strength, stepped aside to make way for him, their faces plastered with perfunctory smiles, showing him some respect.
The high-ranking demons showed no awe towards Shen Qingxing; instead, they mostly looked at him with envy and greed.
Mo Zuili pulled the brim of his black robe and hat to cover himself.
The Demon Realm is far too complicated. There must be a demonic cultivator or demon behind the red-eyed woman.
It remains to be seen whether Shen Qingxing will take over the power of the Xie siblings or kill them all.
Upon reaching the vicinity of the Soul-Severing Tower, Mo Zuili pointed to the base of the tower and asked, "There's an entrance to the Immortal Valley inside. Do you plan to go in?"
Seeing Shen Qingxing nod, Mo Zuili continued, "The Immortal Valley is divided into inner and outer layers. Ordinary rogue cultivators can enter the outer layer of the Immortal Valley, but there are few opportunities and many dangers in the outer layer. Only the inner layer has great opportunities. If a rogue cultivator wants to enter the inner layer, he can only enter the outer layer first and break through step by step. Even Golden Core cultivators are very likely to die, with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."
Cultivation families and other high-level cultivators—in short, families with a strong foundation—can directly enter the inner layer through the entrance to the Immortal Valley.
If you want to go in, it's best to enter directly from the entrance at the bottom of the Tower of Broken Souls.
Shen Qingxing turned his head, looking at Mo Zuili with a puzzled expression. He seemed to be wondering how Mo Zuili knew that the bottom of the Soul-Severing Tower was the entrance to the Immortal Valley.
Mo Zuili shrugged and offered no further explanation.
Although I knew this news because I was a reader who had transmigrated into the book.
However, given Shen Qingxing's current strength, if he really wanted to go in, he could still find some clues after carefully investigating the Demon Realm.
It would be better to tell him now.
After a quick cleanup, Mo Zuili, Qi Shuyan, and Yu Feng left the Demon Realm with the unconscious Shen Zhi.
According to Shen Qingxing's idea, Mo Zuili planned to bring Shen Zhi back to the Mo family directly.
After all, Shen Qingxing didn't want Shen Zhi to return to the Shen family. Since Shen Zhi was in a coma and unable to express his opinion, it was considered that he had tacitly agreed.
"Sister Li, you're the one who injured him before?"
Qi Shuyan, supporting Shen Zhi, asked with some uncertainty.
Mo Zuili nodded: "Yes. He was left with a leg injury, but later, because he stayed in the Demon Realm for too long while injured, and his cultivation level was not particularly high, his condition worsened, and he was unable to walk after entering the Misty Domain."
On her way back to the Mo family, Mo Zuili sent a message to Zhu Hehong.
On the demon race's side, Huang Tianyao became unusually quiet after the turmoil in the Immortal Valley.
The spies who were investigating Shangguan Fu'er's whereabouts withdrew, and they stopped provoking Zhu Hehong, staying in their own palace.
In the message, Zhu Hehong urged Mo Zuili to hurry back to the demon clan and stop being a hands-off manager.
Should I accept the title of Demon King or not?
Mo Zuili replied: Yes, yes, I understand. I trust you. Nothing will happen with you here. I'll go back to the Mo family now.
The message has been sent, but no reply has been received yet.
After leaving the Demon Realm, Yu Feng departed alone and did not travel with Mo Zuili and the other two.
As they approached the Mo family, Mo Zuili and Qi Shuyan agreed not to discuss their romantic relationship yet, since she was still using her own body and identity.
He will leave this world in the future and will surely return, but what will happen to Qi Shuyan's body is unknown.
When Mo Zuili finally arrived at the Mo family, Mo Yuan and Elder Tan personally came out to greet him.
Mo Zuili briefly mentioned Shen Zhi's situation, and Mo Yuan instructed someone to take Shen Zhi from Qi Shuyan and take him away to recover from his injuries.
Then Mo Zuili was taken back to the courtyard by Mo Yuan, who showed her concern and care.
After Mo Yuan left and told Mo Zuili to rest, Mo Zuili realized that Elder Tan and Mo Yuan hadn't asked about Qi Shuyan's background at all.
As they walked, Qi Shuyan disappeared from sight.
Mo Zuili suddenly stood up. Could it be that Mo Yuan had already investigated Qi Shuyan thoroughly?
What do you call this? A blond guy who kidnapped a daughter?
I hope Old Tan won't kill Qi Shuyan!
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he simply went to the Dragon Realm and came out with a new Daoist partner.
Hurriedly leaving the courtyard, Mo Zuili hadn't yet decided whether to go find Mo Yuan or Elder Tan first when she saw Qi Shuyan sneaking around looking for something.
Mo Zuili stood with her arms crossed, staring at Qi Shuyan's actions with a puzzled look.
As the person drew closer, Mo Zuili deliberately made a noise, startling Qi Shuyan.
Only when they saw that Mo Zuili was alone did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Mo Zuili frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What happened to you? How did you just disappear while you were walking around during the day?"
After saying that, Mo Zuili waved to Qi Shuyan, signaling him to come into the courtyard to talk.
Qi Shuyan quickly waved her hand and said, "Sister Li, let's go to the pavilion outside. I'm really scared, I don't dare to come into your courtyard now."
Mo Zuili raised an eyebrow. So Old Tan really did pull her aside for a warning.
Mo Zuili nodded and led Qi Shuyan to a pavilion to go inside.
Mo Zuili assumed that Mo Yuan had discovered Qi Shuyan was his Daoist partner, and that he was making things difficult for Qi Shuyan because he was like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. So she asked with a smile, "What did my father say to you? Or did Elder Tan say something to you? Why are you so scared?"
After all, the reason I didn't speak up at first was because I thought it was better to avoid trouble.
Now that Mo Yuan has discovered it, it doesn't matter whether he knows or not.
She and Qi Shuyan weren't the main characters in a romance novel, with their love spanning three lifetimes and almost destroying the world.
Before leaving, explain to yourself that it's a breakup or your partner has died.
Qi Shuyan propped her head up with her hand, her voice slightly hoarse: "I was taken away by Old Tan first, and he asked me a lot of questions. Later, your father came over and asked me about you and me, and the more I talked about it, the worse my expression became."
Mo Zuili spread his hands and said, "Then you should keep quiet."
Qi Shuyan said, on the verge of tears, "His aura is too strong. I felt like he could come up and search my soul directly if I kept silent. I'm still in a daze."
Mo Zuili remained silent for a moment, sensing that Qi Shuyan's words had a hidden meaning.
But in an instant, Mo Zuili regained her smiling expression and teased, "So what did you say to him?"
Qi Shuyan said, "I have no spiritual consciousness since I was a child. I communicated with you spiritually until recently when my soul returned to its place and my body awakened. It's true. We even exchanged a few words when you first lost your memory, but your father didn't seem to believe it."
I even suspect he thinks your amnesia is because of me. I feel your personality is the same before and after your amnesia; I didn't corrupt you.
As Qi Shuyan spoke, she looked at Mo Zuili with a pitiful expression.
After a long while, Mo Zuili finally managed to put on a stiff smile and looked at Qi Shuyan, saying, "What is his cultivation level? He couldn't even withstand a little pressure. Okay, okay, I have amnesia, but when I see familiar scenes and hear familiar voices, I can still vaguely sense that something is amiss."
When I heard your voice, it felt familiar, just like when I first saw my father after I lost my memory.
Don't take it to heart. After all, I had never told him about you before, so it's normal for him to be surprised when I suddenly brought you back.
"You go and rest first, I'm going back to rest too. Tomorrow I still need to talk to my father about the Immortal Valley, and a bunch of other things with the demon race."
After a few words of comfort, Qi Shuyan seemed to calm down considerably.
Finally, he nodded hesitantly.
Mo Zuili called a maid and asked her to take Qi Shuyan to the guest courtyard.
