Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 459 Immortal Domain
"In that case, I'll be leaving." Han Qingru seemed like a decent person, and Mo Wuji felt it necessary to lend a hand. Now that he had reminded her, and she was still hesitating, he had no obligation to stay.
After saying that, Mo Wuji turned to leave. No matter how incompetent Manager He was, the person who could turn a Heavenly Immortal into a lackey was someone he couldn't deal with.
Han Qingru grabbed Mo Wuji's sleeve anxiously. "Please take me with you. I believe you."
Mo Wuji paused slightly, a little unsure why Han Qingru suddenly trusted him. But he didn't overthink it, simply nodding and saying, "Then follow me."
The garden was full of arrays and restrictions. Fortunately, Mo Wuji was quite skilled in array formations, and having studied the place for nearly ten days, he quickly slipped into a path through the sea of flowers.
"Not this way, the gate is over there," Han Qingru said urgently, seeing Mo Wuji dive into the flower sea.
Mo Wuji didn't stop at all, replying, "If we go through the gate, we really won't be able to get out."
After he began to suspect Ding Ding, he had left a mark on her. At that moment, the mark was near the gate, indicating Ding Ding was blocking the way. Regardless of Ding Ding's strength, Mo Wuji didn't believe she would be there alone.
Moreover, he had now figured it out: Ding Ding had sent the message flying sword directly to the strong person behind Manager He. If he took Han Qingru through the gate, a moment's delay by Ding Ding would surely allow that strong person to arrive in time.
"Ah..." Han Qingru had just let out a small exclamation when she felt her waist tighten. Mo Wuji had already put his arm around her waist, and his figure flashed through the flower sea.
The moment Mo Wuji's arm touched her waist, Han Qingru felt her entire body stiffen. She subconsciously wanted to push him away. Fortunately, she quickly realized that Mo Wuji thought she was too slow.
Sure enough, Mo Wuji's voice came next, "We have to leave here as quickly as possible, or we won't be able to get away."
For Mo Wuji, wrapping his arm around Han Qingru's waist wasn't about anything else. What time was it? He couldn't afford to think about anything else. But when he really put his arm around her waist, Mo Wuji realized that Han Qingru's waist was practically boneless; it was so soft.
"How are you so familiar with the restrictions here?" Han Qingru forgot about Mo Wuji's arm around her, asking in surprise.
"I know a little about array formations, and I studied it a bit when I came in," Mo Wuji said, discarding the previous thoughts. As he spoke, he quickly swept past patches of flowers, arriving at the edge of the flower sea in a very short time.
This looked like the wall of Hundred Flowers Manor, but Mo Wuji knew there was a trapping array here. Because the range of this trapping array was slightly larger, its level was reduced. This level of trapping array didn't have much of an effect on Mo Wuji.
"There's a trapping array here," Han Qingru said urgently, the moment Mo Wuji put her down. She was worried that Mo Wuji would try to force his way through. Once he attacked the trapping array restriction, it would immediately activate the entire garden's trapping array restrictions. Even a fool would know that the two of them were trying to escape from here.
"I know," Mo Wuji said, grabbing more than a dozen array flags and throwing them down. After a few minutes, he raised his hand and tore a small opening in front of the two.
Han Qingru stared at the opening in shock. Before she could speak, she felt her waist tighten again. Mo Wuji took her out of the garden. A delicate flying car was summoned by Mo Wuji, and she was taken onto the flying car. The flying car streaked across the sky, leaving Hundred Flowers Manor far behind.
"You're also an array formation master?" Han Qingru stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief after recovering. Even an idiot knew that Mo Wuji was definitely not a gardener. Could a gardener possess a semi-Immortal artifact flying treasure?
Mo Wuji waved his hand. "We'll talk about that later. I need to remove the restriction for you now."
After saying that, Mo Wuji didn't even wait for Han Qingru to agree before grabbing her wrist. This wasn't just about Han Qingru's life, but also about his own. He didn't have time to wait for Han Qingru's consent. If Han Qingru wasn't willing, then he would have to ask her to leave. He had just arrived in the Immortal Realm and didn't want to die like this.
Han Qingru seemed to know what Mo Wuji was doing and didn't say anything.
As soon as Mo Wuji grabbed Han Qingru's wrist, the Detoxification Meridian felt the mark in Han Qingru's body. This mark also contained poison, though it was different from the mark Wen Lianxi had placed, it was even more powerful. This kind of poisonous mark directly restricted Han Qingru's cultivation.
Mo Wuji's Detoxification Meridian rolled up, and in just a few minutes, it rolled up the poison in Han Qingru's body, along with the Divine Sense mark, and took it out. At the same time, he put it in a jade box and quickly placed several restrictions on it.
Her long-lost yuan energy returned, but Han Qingru stared blankly at Mo Wuji. She had tried everything to remove the mark on her body, but this Earthly Immortal cultivator had removed it so easily?
Han Qingru was about to thank him in excitement when she saw Mo Wuji's expression change.
"Boom!" Mo Wuji's flying car trembled violently. Mo Wuji raised his hand and sent Han Qingru off the flying car, and he put away his flying car at the same time. He had been so focused on removing the mark for Han Qingru that he hadn't noticed that the people chasing them had gotten close.
Almost at the same time, a flying ship artifact landed in front of Mo Wuji and Han Qingru, blocking their way.
Two men rushed out of the flying ship. The two looked similar, both with square faces and narrow eyes. The difference was that one had hair, and the other was bald.
Han Qingru, who had been somewhat happy because her cultivation had recovered, turned pale again after seeing the two. She subconsciously took a few steps back, standing next to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji stretched out his hand, and the Heavenly Machine Staff landed in his palm. He could sense that although these two were both Heavenly Immortal cultivators, they were many times stronger than Manager He.
"For a mere Earthly Immortal to be able to escape here, you're quite capable," said the bald man.
"These two are the Ying Bian Twin Killers. We can't escape. I'll hold them back for a while, you..." Han Qingru's voice contained a hint of regret. If she hadn't let Mo Wuji take her out, Mo Wuji would have been able to escape alone.
Mo Wuji didn't even wait for Han Qingru to finish speaking. He swung the Heavenly Machine Staff and rushed towards the bald man. He knew what Han Qingru wanted to say: to have a woman hold back his opponents, giving him a chance to escape. He wasn't that much of a coward.
Just as Mo Wuji rushed halfway, he felt a spatial stagnation, as if the surrounding area didn't belong to him. His entire figure slowed down.
"Boom!" The Heavenly Machine Staff, carrying violent yuan energy, slammed into a long saber, and the yuan energy exploded.
The surging power pushed back, and Mo Wuji felt as if his chest had been hit by a sledgehammer, with a fiery aura inside.
Mo Wuji's heart sank. He clearly felt that the power of his Heavenly Machine Staff had been restricted by that spatial stagnation by half. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered such a loss.
Originally, Mo Wuji had only wanted to test the waters with this strike, but now he knew that he was no match for these two.
Han Qingru quickly helped Mo Wuji, saying urgently, "These are Ji Yan and Ji Zhao, the Ying Bian Twin Killers. They have both condensed parts of their Immortal Lattice. You just crashed into their Heavenly Immortal Domain..."
Heavenly Immortal Domain? These four words flashed like a faint light in his brain, but the light was too fast, and he couldn't grasp it.
"Manor Head Han, please stand aside. If there's any accidental injury, our brothers can't afford it," the bald man, who had blasted Mo Wuji away with just one move, said calmly.
Mo Wuji had some vague guesses in his heart at the moment. He didn't think his strength was as much weaker than the bald man as he had shown.
"Let me, Ji Yan, see how arrogant you really are, to dare touch even the person Lord Lao favors..." The bald man mimicked Mo Wuji's approach, directly slashing at Mo Wuji with his saber.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, clearly not taking Mo Wuji seriously at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used such a reckless method to deal with Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji knew that he had to kill one of them as soon as possible, otherwise, they would really have a hard time escaping today.
The restriction of the Domain came again, and Mo Wuji once again fell into the opponent's space.
