Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 568 Never Thought About Being Afraid of You
In her heart, the reason her mother had been lying in bed for over a hundred years was because she had gone to find Immortal Wood Marrow for her. If her mother's illness couldn't be cured, she was afraid she would never be at peace.
Ao Song was also stunned on the spot, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and then she said with surprise, "I'll go tell the Grand Elder."
With that, she turned to leave. Mo Wuji looked at Shi Gulan, wanting to see if Shi Gulan would stop Ao Song. A trace of sadness flashed in Shi Gulan's eyes, and she shook her head at Mo Wuji.
Clearly, she also knew that Ao Song wanted to escape from the Magic Moon Immortal Gate. Since Mo Wuji had cured Shi Gulan's illness, it meant that what she had done was already known to Shi Gulan.
The reason Shi Gulan had called Ao Song in and hadn't changed the Meditation Incense Wood bed was because she still held a last shred of hope, wanting Ao Song to come to her senses, apologize to her, and then let the matter be over.
It had to be said that Shi Gulan was magnanimous. Ao Song had harmed her like that, and she was still waiting for Ao Song to turn back. If it were Mo Wuji, he would never be so magnanimous.
Earth's history books record such a thing: At that time, Hanshan asked Shide: "If the world slanders me, deceives me, insults me, laughs at me, belittles me, despises me, curses me, cheats me, what should I do?"
Shide answered Hanshan: "Just endure him, let him be, allow him, avoid him, tolerate him, respect him, ignore him, and wait a few years, and you will see him."
Shide's way is a kind of mental victory method, and indeed this method can comfort oneself. It is true that some people end up with nothing because of this, and are despised. But similarly, some people may end up living better than you.
Shi Gulan letting Ao Song leave was to endure and give up seeking revenge on Ao Song for harming her.
If Mo Wuji were to answer Hanshan, it would be, "You just beat him, beat him, and beat him again. If you can't beat him, come back in a few years and beat him, beat him, and continue to beat him!"
What puzzled Mo Wuji was that Ao Song, who had been let go by Shi Gulan, only walked to the door before suddenly stopping. She slowly turned her head, her face no longer showing the surprise and excitement from before. Instead, she looked at Shi Gulan and Mo Wuji with a calm expression and said, "I forgot that the combined strength of the three of you should not be enough for me to handle now."
Ao Song was a Grand Essence Immortal, Mo Wuji was in the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm, and Lin Gu was at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm. Shi Gulan had just recovered and would need at least a few years to restore her cultivation.
"Junior Sister Ao Song, you..." Hearing Ao Song's words, Lin Gu was stunned. She stared blankly at Ao Song, completely unaware of what was happening.
Ao Song acted as if she didn't see Lin Gu, or even hear her words. She walked back a few steps and stopped, then held out her hand and said, "Shi Gulan, you must already know how your illness came about, right? Originally, I wanted to fulfill your kindness of imparting the Dao, and let you leave peacefully. Since you are unwilling, then don't blame me for taking action."
A faint light, curved like a round moon, appeared in Ao Song's palm. That faint light seemed to be nothingness. Mo Wuji was very clear that it was not nothingness, nor was it some kind of spell, but a true Immortal artifact.
"It was you who harmed my mother, you heartless and soulless thing..." Realizing what was happening, Lin Gu's eyes were filled with hatred, and she frantically rushed towards Ao Song.
Mo Wuji grabbed Lin Gu, and said calmly, "Let me handle it."
He knew that Lin Gu was definitely not Ao Song's opponent. Rushing up like that would be suicide.
Lin Gu had witnessed Mo Wuji almost kill a Grand Essence Immortal in the early stage with a single blade. She calmed down and didn't continue to rush forward, but instead took out her own magical treasure and walked to Shi Gulan's bedside. Once Mo Wuji and Ao Song started fighting, she would protect Shi Gulan at all times.
Shi Gulan reached out to grab her ring, and then her face changed. The reason she dared to let Ao Song in was because she had an Eighth-Grade attack talisman in her ring. Not to mention one Ao Song, even if a hundred Ao Songs came, she could easily subdue them.
But now, when she went to take something from her ring, she realized that the restrictions on her ring were still locked. Her spiritual sea had only just come to life, and it would take at least a day to stretch her spiritual will. To activate this talisman, it would take at least half a month. She had just recovered from her illness and hadn't gotten used to a body that could absorb Immortal Spiritual Energy but couldn't use spiritual sense.
"Wait, Ao Song, let Alchemist Mo and Lin Gu leave, and I will let you do as you please." Shi Gulan's reaction was much faster than Lin Gu's. She understood that the three of them combined were no match for Ao Song, and immediately made a decision.
Mo Wuji reached out and stopped Shi Gulan, who was about to speak. A dark gray, broad-backed long blade appeared in his hand. "Ao Song, since I dared to cure Aunt Lan in front of you, I didn't think about being afraid of you. If you want to fight, then come on, let me see how much you, a Grand Essence Immortal, are really worth."
Ao Song was obviously a Grand Essence Immortal. If Mo Wuji couldn't even figure that out, how could he have lived to this day? To be honest, he wasn't afraid of Ao Song at all. If he was afraid of Ao Song, he wouldn't have cured Shi Gulan on the spot.
"Lin Gu, quickly take Alchemist Mo and leave, I..." Seeing that Ao Song had no intention of letting them go, Shi Gulan struggled to move, but she was too weak.
Ao Song was surrounded by killing intent, and her Grand Essence Immortal domain swept towards Mo Wuji like a storm. If it wasn't for Mo Wuji, she wouldn't need to do any of this.
Mo Wuji's domain also blasted out. Mo Wuji's domain was a vortex domain. Even though Ao Song's Grand Essence Immortal domain was much higher in level than Mo Wuji's domain, as soon as it collided with Mo Wuji's domain, Ao Song immediately felt a powerful vortex force start to tear at her domain.
Mo Wuji didn't waste any words, and swung his broad-backed long blade. Facing a Grand Essence Immortal, Mo Wuji didn't hold back at all.
Violent Immortal Essence surged, bringing up a blade light several Zhang long. The blade light was compressed by Mo Wuji, and the killing intent was even more vast and shocking.
"Crack!" Ao Song's domain was already teetering on the verge of collapse from being torn apart by Mo Wuji's domain. Now that Mo Wuji had swung his blade down, her domain directly cracked open.
The blade light that penetrated the soul slashed over, and Ao Song subconsciously shivered. Before taking action, she hadn't taken Mo Wuji seriously. That was because Mo Wuji was only in the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm, and there was no spiritual rhyme around Mo Wuji's body. At first glance, he was a guy with trash qualifications.
How could she have imagined that Mo Wuji would be so terrifying? Just by expanding his domain and swinging his blade, he had completely put her at a disadvantage, and even endangered her life.
At this point, Ao Song no longer had any contempt for Mo Wuji. The faint crescent blade light in her hand shone, turning into a substantial crescent-shaped blade edge to block the killing intent blade mark that Mo Wuji was swinging down.
"Boom!" The two killing lights collided, and the surrounding restrictions directly turned into ruins. A tearing blade aura soared into the sky.
Ao Song was blasted away by Mo Wuji's powerful killing intent and crashed into the restrictions by the door.
A bloodstain ran from Ao Song's forehead to her chin, and blood seeped out, dripping onto the ground. If Mo Wuji's blade light had been a little stronger, or if Ao Song had been a little slower, then Mo Wuji's blade would have directly split her head open.
Ao Song no longer dared to go forward and fight Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji would not let this woman go. He stepped forward through the air towards Ao Song, and the long blade in his hand rolled up again. At the same time, his vortex domain frantically swept the surrounding space.
His killing intent had already risen, and at this moment, Ao Song was a dead person in his eyes.
Ao Song felt the changes in the surrounding space, and a hint of gray flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected Mo Wuji to be so powerful. At first, she thought Mo Wuji had hidden his cultivation. After exchanging a blade with Mo Wuji, she was very clear that Mo Wuji was a true Profound Immortal in the early stage.
She had heard of Profound Immortal cultivators being able to contend with Grand Essence Immortals. That was all about Profound Immortal at the peak fighting against Grand Essence Immortal in the early stage, and even then it was versus a typical Grand Essence Immortal.
Although she wasn't a powerful Grand Essence Immortal, she wasn't the worst kind either. And the Profound Immortal in front of her should be short of reaching the middle stage.
Such strength was simply shocking. She gritted her teeth and was about to use her trump card. No matter how powerful Mo Wuji was, he was only a Profound Immortal.
Only then did Shi Gulan react. A hint of horror also flashed in her eyes. She had also never seen such a powerful Profound Immortal cultivator like Mo Wuji. No wonder Lin Gu didn't step forward to help Mo Wuji, but instead retreated to her side. It seemed that Lin Gu had long known that Mo Wuji's strength was very strong, and that he was not someone that an ordinary Grand Essence Immortal could contend with.
The killing intent of Mo Wuji's second blade was even more explosive. This explosive killing intent could be clearly felt even by Shi Gulan and Lin Gu.
"Alchemist Mo, please let her go this once, let her leave..." Shi Gulan said with difficulty. In the end, she couldn't help but ask for a favor for Ao Song.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. According to his idea, he would not have let Ao Song go. Since Lin Gu's mother had spoken, he couldn't continue to attack, so he could only release his domain and the killing intent suppression of the surrounding space.
Almost the moment Mo Wuji released his domain and space suppression, Ao Song gave up resisting, and directly escaped. Mo Wuji's seemingly space-splitting blade light cut her figure in two.
Having escaped Mo Wuji's sure-kill move, and knowing that Mo Wuji had shown mercy, Ao Song still gave up the idea of continuing to fight and quickly fled.
When she came to her senses, she realized that she might have been able to fight Mo Wuji for a while, but with Mo Wuji's strength, she would inevitably die in the end.
Mo Wuji didn't give chase, but put his long blade back into his ring and looked up at the sky.
A gray-robed middle-aged man stepped down from the void. Mo Wuji immediately retreated a few steps. He knew that this guy must have been attracted by the power of his attack. This guy was at least an Immortal King, and facing such a strong person, he would be instantly killed.
