The Pangu divine power flashed past, but Jia, Yi, and Bing remained unfazed, employing a strategy of stillness to counter all changes. They believed they could dissipate it, just as they had other divine abilities, through the convergence and divergence of the hurricane.
A hint of disdain flickered across his face!
"A petty trick dares to show off before a master!"
"Kid, don't you know your own cultivation level?"
"Are you not afraid to attack me?"
"Perhaps afraid, but still, you'll put up a desperate fight."
"But what use is a desperate fight? Can it change any status quo?"
"I'll show you immediately what it means to handle a heavy task with ease, and what it means to lightly brush it aside."
However, in the next moment, the disdain on his face had not yet faded before it was replaced by terror.
He discovered that the hurricane he had blown out moments ago could no longer close. It could not intercept the dazzling beam of light.
The light pierced through, unstoppable.
He was filled with infinite dread, as if he could already see his body being torn in half.
Indeed, his final judgment was accurate!
In the next moment, his body was truly torn in two.
Each half of his body had an eye, both still bulging with terror!
Underestimated, too careless!
A trace of regret flickered in his terrified gaze!
In an instant, it turned pale!
Mo Qi paid no mind to him. He immediately took a calming pill and slowly steadied himself. He could still feel the lingering foul aftertaste in his stomach, which dissipated only after a long while.
He spat out several mouthfuls of phlegm, yet still felt waves of nausea.
He then fed Bai and Linghu Xiaoxian each a calming pill. It took a long time for these two to slowly wake up, and they too felt a bout of nausea.
Mo Qi then walked towards Pang Qing with the pills.
Bai said, "Why are you still saving someone like that?"
Mo Qi glanced back at him, "I don't want to save him, but he still has value. As long as he doesn't die, he can at least hold back Turtle Ancestor for a while."
Then, he fed Pang Qing a pill.
Without looking back, he walked forward, and Bai immediately followed.
Linghu Xiaoxian glanced at the slowly waking Pang Qing before unfolding her form to chase after Mo Qi.
When Pang Qing woke up, he only saw Linghu Xiaoxian's receding figure. He shouted, "Xiaoxian, wait for me!"
Linghu Xiaoxian frowned and instead increased her speed.
As Mo Qi walked, he suddenly remembered something and asked Bai, "You were also a prisoner transferred from Shenlong Gate. Have you seen Ling Feiyan? And the other two male cultivators?"
Whether she knew or not, he had to ask. What if she did know?
Bai replied without hesitation, "I have!"
An unexpected gain! Mo Qi was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Where are they?"
"We were initially held together. One day, they were taken away by people from the Sun Moon Sect. I don't know exactly where they were taken," Bai said.
Mo Qi felt a wave of disappointment again!
But regardless, he had a clue. This was progress!
The next step was to ask Linghu Zhong. He should know their whereabouts.
As Mo Qi was deep in thought, Bai asked playfully, "Ling Feiyan seems very important to you?"
Mo Qi glanced at her sideways, "Little brat, what do you know?"
Bai's pretty face flushed slightly, then she smiled again, "Yes, I don't understand your adult world. I'm just curious!"
Linghu Xiaoxian looked at their expressions and couldn't help but feel indignant for Pang Qing. Such different fates for different people!
At this moment, without realizing it, the four of them walked further along the mountain cave.
At some point, a mist arose.
For some reason, all of them shivered.
They felt something malevolent entering their bodies!
Mo Qi hurriedly unleashed his Earth Arrow spiritual power, circulating it within his body.
In a moment, just before his mind was about to descend into chaos, he expelled the sinister elements from his body, restoring clarity to his mind.
He then noticed that the other three had hazy eyes, showing signs of being lost. He quickly shouted, "Wake up! Quickly gather your minds, hold onto your unity, and cast out all distracting thoughts!"
The three jolted awake and immediately followed his instructions. In moments, they regained their senses, breaking out in a cold sweat. If not for Mo Qi's timely reminder, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Bai and Linghu Xiaoxian both cast a grateful look at Mo Qi.
Pang Qing, however, looked indifferent. After all, you saved me with ulterior motives. Why should I thank you?
The entire space was shrouded in mist, making it easy to lose one's way.
Mo Qi activated his Heavenly Eye divine ability and suddenly realized that it seemed to lead in all directions. There were paths in every direction, but he didn't know which one was the path to survival.
After a brief analysis, he understood. The paths in all directions were an illusion, a form of deception. This was an ancient formation, and he was momentarily unsure.
However, at this moment, the other three looked at him with expectant eyes, as if saying, "We trust you, make a decision quickly."
Mo Qi had no choice but to try walking to the left.
Instantly, lightning struck from all directions. The dazzling electrical currents, like whips, lashed at each of them.
The four cried out in pain and instinctively retreated.
Their bodies immediately turned black and charred, their hair standing on end, disheveled, and still smoking.
Mo Qi and Pang Qing only felt some pain.
Linghu Xiaoxian and Bai, in addition to the physical pain, also suffered mental torment.
Their current disheveled state was a stark contrast to their usual radiance.
Both of them wished they could kill themselves.
As Mo Qi's gaze roamed over them, they gritted their teeth in anger, "This is all your doing! Keep looking and I'll gouge your eyes out."
Mo Qi suppressed a smile and turned his head away.
He thought, if the left is lightning, then the right must be wind. I have the Wind Calming Pill, which should be able to counteract it.
So, he first took a Wind Calming Pill and a healing pill.
Then, he gave Bai and Linghu Xiaoxian two pills each, "These are healing pills. You need to take two together for them to be effective."
No one doubted Mo Qi's pills anymore. Bai and Linghu Xiaoxian took the pills without hesitation and consumed them.
Pang Qing tentatively took a step forward and said hesitantly, "My pills?"
Mo Qi gave him one healing pill.
After taking it, Pang Qing was somewhat displeased, "Why do I only get one?"
"Traitors get only one. If you say another word, you'll get none," Mo Qi said coldly.
Pang Qing could only swallow the pill with a dark expression.
The injuries on all four began to heal at a visible rate.
Mo Qi nodded and stepped towards the right again.
After taking two steps, he looked back. The other three hadn't moved, all looking at him with anticipation and extreme nervousness.
They were all scared. He was being used as a human shield!
This was no longer fun!
Mo Qi retreated and sat down on the ground, closing his eyes to rest.
"What's going on? Do you want to wait here to die?" Linghu Xiaoxian walked up behind him and said.
"I think you want to wait to die, so I'll wait with you," Mo Qi said with his eyes closed.
"Why are you so uncouth?" Linghu Xiaoxian said disdainfully, "You're a grown man. Aren't you going to lead the way? Are you expecting us two young girls to charge ahead?"
Mo Qi was thick-skinned now. No matter how she taunted him, it didn't hurt.
"If we die, we die together. I won't be a hero," Mo Qi said indifferently.
"Alright, let's go together," Bai stepped forward and said.
"Do you even have any confidence? I feel like you're just stumbling around blindly, just like us," Linghu Xiaoxian said cautiously.
Mo Qi stood up and smiled, "You're right, I am stumbling around blindly. So, I don't want to die alone. It would be so lonely to become a wandering ghost! But with you accompanying me, it's different..."
Linghu Xiaoxian glared at him and snorted, "I really misjudged you. I thought you were different from some people before."
Pang Qing's face flushed slightly, but then he swept away his previous dejection, becoming incredibly spirited, his appearance completely renewed.
Because of Linghu Xiaoxian's words, he bizarrely thought she was saving him!
If you are a villain, surrounded by saints, you would feel ashamed!
If you are a villain, surrounded by other villains, you won't have a sense of superiority, but you won't live so heavily.
Pang Qing, in a much better mood, suddenly spoke, looking at Mo Qi, "Those two don't need to go, do they? I'll lead the way with you."
He thought this was the posture a responsible and moral person should adopt!
In this way, he would actually stand on the moral high ground.
Mo Qi, on the other hand, would appear somewhat petty!
Pang Qing secretly rejoiced. He had finally regained some face today.
Moreover, with his rogue-like personality, he was sure Mo Qi would not agree to his request.
This way, his face would be completely saved.
As expected, Mo Qi shamelessly said, "No, men and women are the same. In the face of death, all beings are equal, let alone men and women. We'll go together. If we succeed, we die together; if we fail, we perish together. No one has the right to say anything."
Bai and Linghu Xiaoxian glared at him, furious.
His words were plausible, as if impeccable, but to be able to say them was the mark of an extraordinary person.
Absolutely a rogue!
"Fine, let's go. If we die, we die. What's there to be afraid of?" Linghu Xiaoxian said through gritted teeth.
Pang Qing's face was full of smugness, a sinister smile of a successful scheme.
