Mo Xingjue carried Li Ze at breakneck speed, like a streak of light flashing across the sky. People on the ground only felt a flash of light, and when they looked up, the people in the sky had already disappeared.
However, even though Mo Xingjue was fast, he still couldn't match the speed of Tian Lei.
"Stop! Heavenly lightning is coming!" Li Ze shouted. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped off the flying sword, landing quickly on tree branches.
The moment his feet touched the ground, lightning struck down on his head.
Boom!
The sky and earth changed color, dark clouds hung low like ink, almost swallowing the entire area. A bolt of lightning, the size of an infant's fist, struck directly on Li Ze's head, instantly turning Li Ze and the area within ten meters of him into charred remains.
Not far away, Mo Xingjue's eyes turned red. As the heavenly lightning struck, his heart tightened, and his whole body became taut like a bow.
When he himself was forming his nascent soul, he wasn't so nervous, but now, looking at the charred body of Aze, his heart felt like it was being cut open with a dull knife, the pain so intense he couldn't breathe.
One bolt of lightning after another struck, creating a tremendous commotion that attracted cultivators from dozens of miles around.
"Who has such a big heart to advance their cultivation level in the middle of nowhere?"
"Breakthroughs depend on opportunity. When the opportunity comes, you can't suppress it even if you don't want to."
"Advancing in the wilderness is great! Isn't this giving us an opportunity? Judging by the power of this heavenly lightning, it's definitely a Nascent Soul cultivator. We're going to strike it rich with the wealth of a Nascent Soul cultivator."
"Hehehe, the old rules: kill the person, we split the loot equally!"
"Okay, I have no objection."
"I have no objection either."
Pfft—
The cultivator who had threatened to kill was stabbed through the chest, blood gushing out like a fountain. His eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief at the blade in his chest, unable to comprehend how he, who had been plotting to kill someone just moments before, had ended up dead himself.
There were four people present. They were all stunned to see their companion suddenly killed. When they saw who had done it, they were even more surprised.
"Brother Mo, spare us!" The remaining three cultivators trembled. They were only at the Golden Core stage, how could they be a match for the Nascent Soul stage!
Not to mention that this person is Mo Xingjue!
They only wanted to kill and rob people while they were still recovering from their tribulation, but they haven't even done it yet, so they are innocent!
"Senior Brother Mo, this is just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" The three cultivators shouted hoarsely, but they were extremely annoyed. How could they have run into such a meddlesome person?
"There is no misunderstanding. Anyone who harbors ill intentions towards him must die!" Mo Xingjue said, enunciating each word clearly.
Thunder roared and struck for over an hour, leaving nothing but scorched earth within a radius of a thousand meters.
However, when a light drizzle falls, this scorched land instantly regains its vibrant life.
Mo Xingjue looked at the charred man and saw his snow-white skin. He exhaled a heavy breath. Only then did he notice that his back was soaked with sweat and his clenched fists were covered in blood.
Mo Xingjue silently took out the pill and swallowed it.
After confirming that there was no one within a radius of several miles, he didn't rush to dress Li Ze, but instead changed his own clothes first.
Then he slowly walked towards Li Ze.
At this moment, Li Ze was still in a state of cultivation, completely unaware of the outside world. At other times, he would spare a sliver of attention to his surroundings, but with Mo Xingjue present, he felt at ease entrusting everything to him.
Mo Xingjue helped Li Ze put on his clothes, and Li Ze sat down and began to cultivate.
Aze is currently at the early stage of Nascent Soul, while he is at the middle stage. Given Aze's abnormal advancement speed, it's hard to say who will reach the late stage of Nascent Soul first.
He needs to step up his game!
Three days later, Li Ze awoke from his cultivation. The weeds around him were taller than him, completely obscuring him, along with Mo Xingjue who was not far away.
"Has he entered a state of cultivation?" Li Ze raised an eyebrow, noticing traces of spiritual energy fluctuations on Mo Xingjue's body.
Is it time to advance to the next level?
Afraid of disturbing Mo Xingjue, Li Ze simply stopped moving and remained seated in the same spot.
Fortunately, Mo Xingjue advanced very quickly. In just a few hours, he successfully progressed from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the late-Nascent Soul stage.
The moment he opened his eyes, the pressure of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was unleashed, causing wild beasts and demons within a radius of several miles to tremble in fear.
"Have you been waiting long?" Mo Xingjue asked, his voice husky, adding a touch of sexiness.
Li Ze shook his head. "It's only been a few hours."
He stood up and suddenly realized that he was only wearing an outer robe, and his body underneath was empty.
Li Ze: "......."
Mo Xingjue seemed oblivious to his embarrassment, casually tossing him a few storage bags and saying, "These are your rewards for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."
Looking at the several storage bags that exuded an unfamiliar aura, Li Ze instantly guessed where they came from. "A double-cross?"
Mo Xingjue nodded, "Those who want to kill and rob should be prepared to be killed and robbed first."
Li Ze remained noncommittal, transferred the contents of the other storage bags into his own, and then casually tossed the storage bags aside, saying, "Wait for your destined ones to go."
Mo Xingjue chuckled, "That's a good idea."
Li Ze smiled, but quickly suppressed his smile. "Turn around, I need to change my clothes."
"Zeze, don't be shy. You'll get used to changing in front of me." Mo Xingjue laughed like a hooligan.
Li Ze's face darkened. "Turn around. I don't want to get used to it."
Mo Xingjue clicked his tongue, wanting to say something more, when his jade slip lit up.
“Okay, I’ll turn around, you can change.” Mo Xingjue grabbed the jade slip and turned around.
Li Ze watched the other person's back, quickly put on his clothes and shoes, and then said, "Okay, you can turn around now."
"Aze, we estimate we'll have to make a trip to Xuanzhou. Ji Lin just massacred the people of a small city in Xuanzhou," Mo Xingjue said in a heavy tone.
A day later, Li Ze and Mo Xingjue arrived in Xuanzhou. Mo Xingjue put a mask on Li Ze and said, "I didn't prepare any disguise pills in advance, so you'll have to make do with this."
Although he didn't know if Ji Lin, who was controlled by the evil artifact, still remembered Aze, he dared not gamble.
The mask was made of some unknown material, thin and breathable, and Li Ze felt almost no discomfort. He asked in surprise, "Is this a magical artifact?"
Mo Xingjue grunted and took out another outer robe to drape over Li Ze. "This is also a magic artifact that can conceal your aura."
"Since you have a robe that can conceal your aura, why didn't you use it when you went to the Demon Realm?" Li Ze blurted out.
"Because I want to be imbued with your aura," Mo Xingjue said earnestly, his eyes fixed on Li Ze.
Li Ze was stunned for a moment, his heart aching and throbbing, and he couldn't speak for a while.
At this moment, several figures descended from the sky. "Mo Xingjue, you've come too."
