"How did you find me?" Bai Ye suddenly felt a chill. Trying to find someone in Sword Prison was like searching for a needle in the ocean without divine sense.

For Mo Zongzhu to accomplish such a difficult task so easily made him shiver involuntarily. At that moment, he felt only self-deprecating. He had been thinking about not letting Mo Wuji go, even planning to kill him after leaving the trapped killing formation. But now, Mo Wuji had suddenly appeared before him, and Bai Ye didn't dare to make a move.

This was the second time he had felt fear towards Mo Wuji. The first time was when he saw Mo Wuji actually entering the sword qi river, a scene that deeply shocked him. Even now, the image of Mo Wuji entering the sword qi river was still vivid in his mind.

The unknown was the most terrifying. He didn't know Mo Wuji's true strength, why he could enter the sword qi river, or how he could find him so easily.

"That's none of your concern. You planned to ambush me, so I need you to make some compensation," Mo Wuji said calmly.

When he let Bai Ye leave the trapped killing formation, Mo Wuji had placed a divine sense mark on him through his Storage Divine Meridian. He was sure Bai Ye wouldn't detect it.

Outside Sword Prison, it would be a joke for Mo Wuji to place a divine sense mark on a Celestial Emperor like Bai Ye. But this was Sword Prison. Bai Ye had been cleaved open by Mo Wuji, and his essence, qi, and spirit weren't enough for his own healing. How could he waste his divine sense checking for marks? Even if he did, with his damaged primordial spirit in Sword Prison, he might not be able to find it.

That was why Mo Wuji sensed Bai Ye's approach near the sword qi river. Bai Ye's killing intent came and went quickly. Mo Wuji was at a critical moment in his body refinement and didn't even consider chasing him.

If he didn't need Bai Ye's help this time, he wouldn't have bothered to find him after leaving Sword Prison.

"What do you want? I don't have many valuable things after being trapped in Sword Prison for so long," Bai Ye said, standing up and watching Mo Wuji warily.

His most valuable possession was his Eight Trigrams Disk, the treasure he relied on for survival. He would never give it to Mo Wuji.

"I don't care about your meager possessions. I just need you to help me with something. After entering the sword qi river, I can't find the exit. You are skilled in deduction. Help me deduce the location where the vitality of the sword qi river lies," Mo Wuji said calmly.

Bai Ye was stunned. If he hadn't seen Mo Wuji enter the sword qi river himself, he would have thought Mo Wuji was trying to trick him into going there.

"I don't have the strength to enter the sword qi river right now," Bai Ye said, relieved. Entering the sword qi river in his current state would be suicide. If Mo Wuji insisted on him entering the sword qi river, he would have to fight to the death.

"How likely are you sure that the sword qi river is the exit?" Mo Wuji asked again.

After saying a few words, Bai Ye's fear of Mo Wuji lessened. "There's a 90% chance that the sword qi river is the exit from Sword Prison. I won't miscalculate. I later deduced the sword qi vortex, which was somewhat ambiguous. It seemed to be a path to life, but it also seemed to contain a path to death. And the path to death wasn't very related to sword qi. What I couldn't understand was that my deduction indicated there was life in the sword qi vortex."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Mo Wuji became even more convinced of his deduction. There were indeed people in the sword qi vortex; he had seen them.

"Bai Ye, I need you to take me into the sword qi river. Of course, I will protect you with my domain. Besides you, all the members of my sect will also enter the sword qi river. Naturally, you will deduce the exit," Mo Wuji said, staring at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye was taken aback. He was to enter the sword qi river and deduce the exit? Since Mo Zongzhu wasn't bringing him alone, there was no issue of deception. Did this mean he could leave?

Thinking this, Bai Ye's mind immediately became active. He clasped his fist at Mo Wuji and said, "Mo Zongzhu, finding the exit is no problem, but I need to go with you. After we leave, you can't attack me."

Mo Wuji nodded. "Alright, I can also promise you that after we leave, all our grudges will be wiped away. Of course, if you dare to offend Mo Wuji again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Good, it's a deal. After we leave, we won't interfere with each other," Bai Ye said without hesitation. Offend Mo Wuji again? He wasn't an idiot. Now that they were leaving, why would he provoke such a terrifying enemy?

...

"Sect Leader has found a way out?" In Mo Wuji's protective formation in Sword Prison, Fei Ling and the others looked at Mo Wuji in disbelief.

Mo Wuji had been gone for a year and hadn't returned. Now that he was back, he claimed to have found a way out. It sounded unreal. After all, many Celestial Emperors, including Wei Zidao, hadn't found a way out after so many years.

Mo Wuji sensed that everyone's primordial spirits had stabilized during his absence and that their physical injuries were gone. He was very satisfied. It seemed that his Zenith Green Pills were effective. Such pills were treasures anywhere, especially since he had taken out more than ten bottles at once.

"That's right, I have found a way out. It's not that you couldn't find it, but that you couldn't enter the sword qi river," Mo Wuji replied.

"Sect Leader, is the exit in the sword qi river?" Wei Zidao asked, slightly surprised. In fact, he and many others had guessed that the exit was either in the sword qi river or the sword qi vortex. But they couldn't approach either place. Not to mention finding an exit, even getting close was dangerous.

Mo Wuji explained, "I'm not sure about the exact location yet, but we can go down to the river first. Bai Ye will deduce the location. I believe Bai Ye can do that. Don't worry about the sword qi in the river. My domain has a safe zone within three zhang. As long as you don't leave my three-zhang range, you'll be fine."

Hearing that Bai Ye would be doing the deduction, even Wei Zidao believed that it wouldn't be wrong. Everyone knew about Bai Ye's deduction abilities. Bai Ye had deduced that there was danger on Ping An Vine Mountain, which was why he didn't want to live there.

"Sect Leader, should we find the exit first before we go in?" Jian Mingcheng asked, concerned that Bai Ye's deduction in the sword qi river would take too long and put too much strain on the Sect Leader's domain.

"No need," Mo Wuji said immediately. "We'll go down to the sword qi river now. As for the sword talismans on your bodies, we'll deal with them after we leave Sword Prison. I believe that with your abilities, you can easily remove the Great Sword Dao's sword talisman restrictions once we leave this Sword Prison."

Mo Wuji didn't have deduction abilities, but he vaguely felt that his piece of the Gobi Desert wasn't a place to stay for long. Not because the Gobi Desert had a problem, but because he didn't trust Sword Prison.

The tragedy of Ping An Vine Mountain had happened in Sword Prison, and it was always a thorn in Mo Wuji's side. If Ping An Vine Mountain really was a heart, then the guy hiding in Sword Prison was too terrifying. Once that guy recovered, none of them would escape.

Besides the aftereffects of Ping An Vine Mountain, the body-refining skeleton in the sword qi vortex was also a threat. These were all things that Mo Wuji couldn't contend with.

Before, he couldn't leave and could only bring the disciples of Ordinary Mortals to shrink back on this Gobi Desert. Now that he had the ability, he wanted to leave Sword Prison as quickly as possible.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader. Once we leave Sword Prison, the Great Sword Dao's sword talisman will be like a tickle to us," Fei Ling said with full confidence.

He wasn't bragging. After so many years in Sword Prison, everyone had thoroughly investigated the sword talisman restrictions. The reason they couldn't remove them was that they didn't have the ability in Sword Prison. The surrounding sword qi was too powerful, and their primordial spirits and souls had been damaged. How could they remove the sword talisman restrictions?

Now that Mo Wuji had given them so many Zenith Green Pills and they had been recuperating on this Gobi Desert, they could remove the sword talisman restrictions even without leaving Sword Prison after some time.

...

Mo Wuji brought the group of Ordinary Mortals out, and Bai Ye was already waiting outside. He awkwardly clasped his fists at Wei Zidao and said, "Fellow Daoist Zidao, please forgive me for my previous offenses."

Wei Zidao said indifferently, "It's nothing, after all, I was down on my luck at the time."

Bai Ye was secretly angry. So what if Wei Zidao was a late-stage Celestial Emperor? If it wasn't for Mo Wuji's intervention, even if Wei Zidao wasn't injured, he wouldn't necessarily be afraid. Now he was being called a dog. But in front of Mo Wuji, he didn't say much.

As long as he could leave Sword Prison, he would teach Wei Zidao a lesson when he saw him again in the future. He wouldn't dare to fight Mo Wuji, but was he afraid of Wei Zidao?

Mo Wuji didn't say much. Wei Zidao, a late-stage Celestial Emperor, had been bullied by Bai Ye, so it would be strange if he was willing to let it go. These two would definitely find a chance to fight again after they left. He wouldn't care about that.

The group quickly arrived at the edge of the sword qi river. Sensing the endless sword qi around them, even though they knew that Mo Wuji's domain would protect them after entering the river, everyone still felt uneasy.

Except for Mo Wuji, who had arrived the latest, everyone knew how terrifying the sword qi river was. Not to mention entering the river, even touching the water with a finger would mean certain death.

"Let's go down," Mo Wuji said without hesitation. After arriving at the river, he stepped into the water.

Seeing that Mo Wuji could really enter the river, even Wei Zidao was shocked, besides Bai Ye. Since entering Sword Prison, he hadn't thought that anyone could enter the sword qi river.
