They had clearly hidden all traces and auras, so how could they be discovered so quickly, in just two days?!
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Chen Xun opened his mouth but did not doubt Mo Ye Han's words.
If they intended to betray them, they wouldn't have waited until now, nor would they have sent someone to escort them away. Such tactics were too childish.
Chen Xun's voice trembled, "Brother Ye Han, how do my juniors leave?"
Mo Ye Han's expression was deep and serious, "Brother Chen, you can't protect them. Don't delve deeper into this matter. I can only ensure your safety for now, and your sister won't be implicated. She'll enter the Dao Academy first."
"Brother Chen, there's no time to consider anything else now. There's no such thing as perfection in this world, but their situation has been minimized, and the chances for those hundred people to escape are much greater."
"This matter, the ancestors and masters told me not to get involved that day. Today, I've done my utmost to send you away."
Mo Ye Han spoke each word with a heavy heart, revealing the immense pressure he was under, "The incident happened too suddenly, Brother Chen. Hesitation will only lead to chaos."
As he finished speaking, silence enveloped the surroundings, as if even the sound of breathing had vanished.
Chen Xun and Black Bull were in turmoil, their eyes flickering with unease. They had done many things to destroy evidence, but being discovered so quickly was unprecedented.
They had heard too many iron rules of the grand world, whether from Yun Jin's mouth or from the Spirit Manor.
But when it truly descended upon them, they understood what despair meant. They could only flee, only hide.
The shock left everyone a bit dazed, especially Little Crane and Little Chi, who stood frozen as if struck by lightning.
"Alright, we understand."
Chen Xun's eyes were calm as he solemnly bowed to the disk, "Brother Ye Han, I, Chen Xun, will remember this great favor. My sister will never cause you trouble."
"Moo?!"
"Eldest brother!"
"Brother Xun!!"
Black Bull, Little Chi, and Little Crane exclaimed in disbelief. How could their eldest brother be so decisive?
"Brother Chen, I respect you greatly, but not for your dueling prowess."
Mo Ye Han suddenly smiled slightly, saying something inexplicable, "It's because you did something I dared not do."
His words were profound. The identity of a prodigy seemed glamorous, but it carried heavy burdens. Just the mention of the Xuanwei Celestial Palace capturing criminals was enough to weigh him down.
He had thought about it that day. If his old friends were captured, with the identity of a prodigy, a Dao child, and a Mo family member, he wouldn't dare to act. He could only watch helplessly.
Chen Xun was taken aback, a look of realization flashing in his eyes, and he nodded gently.
"The people from Luo Yan Hall will arrive soon. They are not human, and with the presence of Unity True Lords, they will tell you how to escape."
Mo Ye Han cupped his hands on the other side, his eyes solemn, "Today we part, not knowing when we will meet again. If there is a day we meet again, I hope to have another great battle with Brother Chen."
"Definitely!"
Chen Xun's gaze was deep as he spoke calmly, "Brother Ye Han, I have one more request."
"Please, go ahead."
"Can the charges against my old friends be reduced? This matter is very important to me."
"The Mo family is already working on it, but it takes time. Their offenses are not severe; they unintentionally violated some taboos, so you must escape to draw attention away."
Mo Ye Han nodded, understanding why Chen Xun was willing to act that day, and finding the root cause, "Their crimes need you to bear. It's the only way."
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Xun hesitated not at all, even ready for his primordial spirit to be extinguished.
But Mo Ye Han's meticulousness also secretly shocked him. As expected of the master of the Heavenly Immortal Tower.
There were too many smart people in this grand world. No one who earned the title of prodigy was a fool; otherwise, they couldn't even pass the Heart Refining Tribulation and heart demon barrier.
"Brother Chen, take care."
"Take care."
Chen Xun spoke softly, and the Void Transmission Disk fell into complete silence.
He looked at the still-dazed crowd and said calmly, "Little Crane, take the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Clan to the Immaculate Immortal Ridge immediately, then follow Mo Ye Han into the Dao Academy."
"Moo?"
"Eldest brother?"
"Xun..."
"Shut up and listen to me. Time is short."
Chen Xun coldly reprimanded them, "Little Chi, take Song Heng and Gu Lisheng to Li Chen Island. Move the garbage recycling plant to Li Chen Island. Go find Yun Jin and Luoshuang."
"Bull, your decomposition array and primordial spirit should merge into the Immaculate Immortal Ridge. Spirit stones are the hard currency of the grand world. Completely integrate your primordial spirit into the Five Elements Decomposition Array and sleep. Do not awaken and expose yourself."
"The methods of this grand world have exceeded our imagination. Leave no trace."
"Old Mo!"
"Senior!"
"After we leave, go purchase the Star Pivot. I'll inform someone named Shi Jianbai. The trade continues. Their clan has many strong members and abundant resources. The connection must not be broken."
"Yes, senior!" Mo Fuyang's words were urgent, remembering every word.
"Take these things. They are my insights."
Chen Xun spoke rapidly, arranging everything in an instant, "Do not leave Li Chen Island for now. Cultivate well and wait for our return."
Song Heng and Gu Lisheng's eyes widened, still not comprehending how the sudden change came so quickly, without any preparation.
Black Bull snorted heavily, his eyes wide, sensing the panic in Chen Xun's words.
Little Crane clenched his fists, saying nothing, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, not daring to suggest escaping together.
Mo Ye Han's intention was clear: to let the eldest and second brothers bear all the blame alone. If they fled together, they would share the same guilt.
He even sent the beings from Luo Yan Hall, likely prepared to die, which is why they were not human.
She was incredibly smart and wouldn't play out a scene of deep sibling affection. The actions of the eldest and second brothers were clearly to extract her and the fourth brother from the situation.
Little Chi's eyes reddened, "Brother Xun, let's go together. I refuse to survive alone!!"
"Moo!" Black Bull roared angrily.
Boom!
Dust billowed from the ground as Black Bull swung his hoof, slamming Little Chi into the ground, even creating a large pit. The dull sound echoed in everyone's hearts.
Black Bull roared furiously at Little Chi, suppressing him completely.
Mo Fuyang, Song Heng, and Gu Lisheng were at a loss, wondering how things had turned so dire when everything seemed fine just moments ago...
Chen Xun's eyes were deep, his demeanor extraordinarily calm, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, Old Bull and I will not die. Wait for us."
His gaze gradually fell on Little Crane, who remained silent, looking at Chen Xun with misty eyes.
"Third sister, I hope that when we return, we can see you've grown taller."
Chen Xun smiled, a gentle smile, as he walked forward and patted her head, "It's just a small matter. Life is never smooth sailing, so don't worry."
