Chapter 165: Chapter 162: Speaking Such Blatant Truths
Qian Duoduo avoided the direction Liu Hui and his companion had gone. He led Zhu Fan, Zhao Zijun, and Nangong Yan around, searching everywhere for Mo Qi, eager to avenge being stripped naked twice.
However, the area Within the Pass spanned a five-hundred-li radius. How could it be so easy to find anyone?
The four of them wandered for the better part of a day. Aside from running into a few groups of clueless convicts, they didn’t even see a shadow of Mo Qi.
Just then, intense fluctuations from a battle rippled through the air.
Looking into the distance, dozens of li away, a dense web of sword light filled the sky.
The commotion from this battle was more than a hundred times stronger than the one between Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang!
Even from so far away, it was still enough to make one’s heart pound in terror.
"Sea of Object Transformation... a soul-shaking attack that encompasses a Mental Realm! Someone at the Vajra Realm has made a move!"
"Let’s go take a look!"
The four of them sped towards the sword light, but before they got very far, it vanished.
"Huh? Was a winner decided so quickly?"
While the four stood there puzzled, a streak of light flew in from the distance. It moved at an incredible speed, shooting past them before vanishing over the horizon.
"Isn’t that Su Yu, Master Yan’s disciple? He looked seriously injured."
Zhu Fan thought for a moment. "I remember Su Yu’s ultimate technique is ’Torrential Sword Flow.’ That commotion just now must have been caused by him."
"He lost? But Within the Pass, who could possibly defeat him? He’s in the Vajra Realm!" The moment the words left his mouth, Qian Duoduo froze.
’Could it be Jin Sanpang? No, that’s not right. Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui left in the opposite direction.’
The four of them looked at each other. Should they still head over?
Anyone who could defeat Su Yu was definitely not someone the four of them could handle.
For some reason, Mo Qi’s name flashed through Nangong Yan’s mind.
’Liu Hui had said that Mo Qi could suppress him with a single hand.’
"I propose we keep going. Otherwise, wouldn’t our search have been for nothing? As long as we’re careful, we should be fine. If worst comes to worst, we can just run for it." Qian Duoduo took out a few Jade Talismans and handed them to the other three.
"These are Divine Speed Talismans. Once activated, not even a Vajra Realm expert could catch us."
Zhu Fan and the other two were speechless, but at the same time, they marveled at Qian Duoduo’s wealth.
These were Divine Speed Talismans! They were life-saving items that could get you away from a Vajra Realm expert, and they were nearly impossible to find, even for a fortune!
Yet Qian Duoduo was handing them out like candy, giving three to each person.
"Let me ask you something. Were the things that got stolen from you even worth as much as these Divine Speed Talismans?" Zhao Zijun couldn’t help but ask.
Qian Duoduo shook his head vigorously. "I only wore those rings to show off. There was some good stuff inside, sure, but they definitely weren’t worth more than these Divine Speed Talismans."
This...
They really wanted to crack open Qian Duoduo’s head and see what was inside.
’The stolen items weren’t as valuable as these Divine Speed Talismans, so what’s the point of all this?’
Seemingly aware of their confusion, Qian Duoduo chuckled. "Don’t worry about the details. This young master doesn’t lack money. What I lack is face and happiness. As long as I can vent my anger, I’m willing to spend however much it takes."
The others could only sigh once more. ’Alright, alright, you’re rich. Whatever you say goes.’
Taking the Divine Speed Talismans, the group continued to advance in Mo Qi’s last known direction.
...
"You’re saying that as long as you’re attacked, this Token will automatically release Energy to protect you? And at that moment, This Emperor will be able to sense the Dragon Vein?" The Pig Emperor’s face was full of disbelief.
Mo Qi nodded. "It’s incredible, but it’s true."
"In that case, doesn’t that make you invincible Within the Pass?" The Pig Emperor’s jaw dropped. "No one can hurt you. Fess up, what’s your relationship with that old man who gave you the Token? Was it a backdoor deal?"
Mo Qi’s face darkened, and he rapped the Pig Emperor sharply on the forehead.
"What kind of random junk is rattling around in that pig brain of yours!"
The Pig Emperor yelped in pain. "Backdoor? I meant... front door! A friendly, front-door deal! Are you overthinking things?"
"Heh." Mo Qi didn’t want to talk and gave the Pig Emperor a massive eye-roll.
"Looks like a certain pig’s meals have been too good lately. They need to be cut back."
Hearing this, the Pig Emperor immediately sat up straight as if nothing had happened, propped its chin on its trotter, and assumed a pensive pose.
"This Emperor believes it must be because you are too outstanding, too kind, and devastatingly handsome! You also love small animals, like little pigs, for example. You’re full of love and compassion, which is why everyone loves you, flowers bloom for you, and even the Dark Horse-level Token automatically protects its master."
Mo Qi: "..."
’If you keep spouting such blatant truths, I’m going to have to give you extra food!’
"But back to business. I’m guessing this is a special privilege of the Dark Horse-level Token. I just don’t know if this privilege is permanent or has a limited number of uses."
The Pig Emperor said, "Regardless, we first need to find a way to pinpoint the Dragon Vein’s location."
Mo Qi pondered for a moment. "That’s simple. I just need to find someone to keep attacking me."
What they didn’t know was that the Dark Horse-level Token had no such special privilege. The reason it protected Mo Qi was because the King of Kaosan had activated its function from the outside.
The Token’s Energy source was the Dragon Vein itself. Therefore, when its passive defense was activated, the Pig Emperor was able to follow the connection from the Token to sense the Dragon Vein’s exact location.
"If I’d known, I wouldn’t have let those convicts run off."
Mo Qi looked at the corpses strewn across the ground. There wasn’t a single living person around, much to his frustration.
"Hm? Someone’s coming!"
Just then, four powerful auras appeared in his perception.
Soon, three men and one woman arrived before Mo Qi.
Who else could it be but Qian Duoduo and his group?
With no time to be shocked by the corpses littering the ground, Qian Duoduo’s eyes lit up with delight as he looked at Mo Qi.
"It’s you, Mo Qi! HAHAHA, this young master has finally found you!" Qian Duoduo shouted excitedly, looking like he wanted to jump around in circles on the spot.
Zhu Fan and Zhao Zijun were startled at first, but after getting a clear look at Mo Qi’s Cultivation, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
’He really is just at the Qi Refining Realm.’
Nangong Yan looked at Mo Qi’s ordinary, simple-looking face and couldn’t help but be surprised.
’This is the master Liu Hui willingly submitted to? A Qi Refining Realm Cultivator?’
’Someone who can suppress Liu Hui with one hand?’
’How is that possible!’
"Qian Duoduo?"
Mo Qi recognized Qian Duoduo as well. In his memory, Qian Duoduo was just an unscrupulous clown.
But as his nose twitched and he caught a familiar scent, his expression changed drastically.
He instantly put a lot of things together.
Without a word, the External Incarnation attacked.
Qian Duoduo was just about to say a few cool, posturing lines, but before he could even open his mouth, a black shadow shot toward him.
BANG!
A heavy punch slammed into Qian Duoduo’s abdomen. The irresistible force scattered the True Essence in his body, and even his Dantian began to crack, just a hair’s breadth away from shattering completely.
It was almost no different from having his Cultivation crippled.
Before Zhao Zijun and Zhu Fan could even react, they suffered the same attack as Qian Duoduo and met the same fate.
The three of them coughed up blood and collapsed weakly to the ground, their faces filled with astonishment.
It wasn’t that they were actually so weak, but that they never expected Mo Qi’s External Incarnation to attack so suddenly, or so ruthlessly.
The External Incarnation grabbed Nangong Yan by the neck and lifted her into the air.
"Speak. What did you do to Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang?"
