The newcomers were several Nascent Soul stage cultivators, one of whom Li Ze had met before—Yu Zhuo of the Zhuoguang Sect.
"Mo Xingjue, who is this person next to you?" Yu Zhuo looked Li Ze up and down, his gaze not malicious, but purely curious.
Hearing the other party emphasize the word "again," Li Ze turned to look at Mo Xingjue, silently asking: How many people have you led?
Mo Xingjue immediately felt wronged and explained, "I've only ever taken care of one person, you."
Li Ze didn't say whether he believed it or not, but Yu Zhuo and the others exchanged glances, as if they understood something.
The robe could conceal Li Ze's aura, but it could not conceal his cultivation level. Yu Zhuo and the others could tell Li Ze's realm at a glance. Seeing Mo Xingjue's nervous appearance, they instantly realized that this must be Mo Xingjue's Daoist partner.
"Mo Xingjue, is this your Daoist partner, Fellow Daoist Li Ze?" Yu Zhuo's tone was friendly.
Li Ze raised an eyebrow. When he was He Yu, the other party was all talk and no action against him. Now that he had covered his face, the other party's attitude had changed instantly. Was it because of Mo Xingjue? Or was it because he was now in the Nascent Soul stage?
Whatever the reason, Li Ze couldn't be warm towards Yu Zhuo, after all, this person had almost cost him his life.
Li Ze simply gave a faint "hmm," his tone indifferent and aloof.
Mo Xingjue was still furious that Yu Zhuo had almost killed Li Ze last time. He snorted coldly, ignored him, and turned to the others, "Fellow Daoist Gu, when did you arrive? Have you discovered Ji Lin's whereabouts?"
“We arrived a day earlier than you, but we haven’t found Ji Lin yet.” Gu Chongjin glanced at Li Ze a few times before shifting his gaze to Mo Xingjue. “It’s only been half a year, Xingjue, and your cultivation has improved again.”
Six months ago, everyone was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Six months later, he was still at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while the other party had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
People really can't be compared.
“Fellow Daoist Mo, you are only in your early thirties and you have already reached the late stage of Nascent Soul. We are really curious, have you never encountered a bottleneck?” Another Nascent Soul cultivator sighed as he spoke, “We people only advance to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of one hundred.”
None of the people present were Nascent Soul cultivators who had only advanced a hundred years later. Even so, they were geniuses that the sects saw only once in a hundred years, elite disciples of the sects, key figures to be cultivated, and now they were already elders!
However, compared to Mo Xingjue, they were no match.
A thirty-year-old in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm—they had never heard of such a thing before; this was probably the first of its kind in history.
Wait, that's not right, there's another one here.
Everyone looked at Li Ze next to Mo Xingjue. He looked thin and was half a head shorter than Mo Xingjue. They inexplicably felt that he must be younger than Mo Xingjue.
"How old are you, fellow Daoist?" Gu Chongjin asked curiously.
“I am a man,” Li Ze replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, his tone extremely serious.
puff--
Hahahaha—
Those present were overjoyed, and Mo Xingjue couldn't help but chuckle as well, turning his face away to smirk.
Ji Lin appeared in Xuanzhou. The cultivators who came to Xuanzhou this time were at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and at most at the Out-of-Body stage. As for the higher Mahayana stage, there are only one or two left in the entire cultivation world. At this moment, no one knows where they are.
"The current arrangement is for Nascent Soul cultivators to travel in pairs, patrolling the area. Once Ji Lin's whereabouts are discovered, we cannot act rashly; we must contact seniors in the Deity Transformation or Soul Outer Realm immediately." Gu Chongjin invited Mo Xingjue and Li Ze, "Why don't you come with us?"
Mo Xingjue looked at Li Ze, his eyes making it clear that Li Ze should make the decision.
The others were astonished to see this, never expecting that Mo Xingjue was henpecked.
From then on, everyone became even more friendly and polite towards Li Ze.
"Then let's go together," Li Ze said. The person they were looking for was Ji Lin, who was in the Nascent Soul stage. The more people there were, the safer they would be.
The team, originally consisting of five people, grew to seven with the addition of Li Ze and Mo Xingjue. They flew low on their swords, carefully using their divine sense to probe their surroundings.
Li Ze and Mo Xingjue stood on the same flying sword. Mo Xingjue hugged Li Ze and rested his chin on Li Ze's shoulder. Under the protection of the spiritual energy shield, he said unscrupulously, "Do you want me to teach Yu Zhuo a lesson and avenge you?"
"No, I'll get revenge myself," Li Ze said seriously.
Mo Xingjue said with some regret, "Fine. Beat them to death, don't worry about anything else."
Yu Zhuo was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, as was Li Ze, but Mo Xingjue subconsciously assumed that Yu Zhuo was no match for Li Ze. If asked why, it was because of his mindless trust in his Daoist partner.
His Aze has always been the best.
The group searched from day to night without finding a single ghost. When the sky darkened, they landed in a nearby small town.
"Could it be that Ji Lin has already left Xuanzhou?" Yu Zhuo asked.
Upon hearing this, the others fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, Gu Chongjin spoke first, "Let's search for two more days, and then see how the sect leader and the ancestors arrange things."
At this moment, Mo Xingjue's jade slip suddenly lit up. He tapped it lightly, and the voice of Sect Master Zhuang Mao came out from the jade slip, "Xingjue, Ji Lin slaughtered the villagers of two villages an hour ago and seriously injured two Nascent Soul stage cultivators. He is currently fleeing from the north of Xuanzhou towards the south of Xuanzhou. Where are you now?"
Mo Xingjue glanced at everyone and replied, "We are currently in the southern part of Xuanzhou."
Zhuang Mao on the other end of the jade slip was silent for a moment, then instructed, "Be careful. But don't panic. We're all on our way to the south of Xuanzhou right now, and we'll all meet up there in less than an hour. Until then, keep yourselves hidden."
