Chapter 196: Chapter 193: Stirred Up Something Big
Everyone had the same question in their hearts: What on earth had happened to Mo Qi?
The Pig Emperor tossed the Dragon Source aside, its small beady eyes staring intently at "Mo Qi."
"Who are you? And what’s happened to Mo the kid?"
"Mo Qi" chuckled, ignoring the Pig Emperor. He flicked the Battle Armor on his body with a finger, a look of interest on his face.
’Interesting. To think Obsidian could be refined into something like this. Shouldn’t it be incapable of channeling Spiritual Energy?’
The moment he finished speaking, the Battle Armor automatically detached from "Mo Qi’s" body, transformed into the External Incarnation, and flew back to the Pig Emperor’s side.
"Oh? It even has this function?!"
"Mo Qi" grew even more intrigued, looking like a curious child.
Seeing that "Mo Qi" was ignoring it, the Pig Emperor frowned. It stood up straight, placing its hooves one in front of the other, and threw its head back dramatically.
"Halt! What manner of fiend are you? Do you dare look your Grandmaster Pig in the eye?"
However, this incredibly flashy pose was completely ignored by "Mo Qi."
"Little piggy, stop fooling around. Go play somewhere else."
’Now, let’s see just how many more secrets this stinky kid has!’
As he spoke, "Mo Qi" closed his eyes, and a mysterious power invaded Mo Qi’s Sea of Consciousness.
BZZZT!
The Chaos Scripture trembled slightly, and before that power could even get close, it was completely obliterated.
"Mo Qi’s" face paled, and he patted his chest, still shaken.
’Whoa, holy cow! What was that thing? It could even erase my Eye of Scrutiny. Could it be what ’he’ left for the stinky kid? No way. When ’he’ left, the stinky kid hadn’t even been born yet!’
"Mo Qi" muttered to himself, which made the Pig Emperor, who had been holding its pose for a long time, feel completely humiliated.
However, one could tell from "Mo Qi’s" words that the consciousness currently occupying Mo Qi’s body certainly had a very deep connection to him.
Recalling the woman in white who had once saved Mo Qi from the brink of death, a faint suspicion began to form in the Pig Emperor’s mind.
This suspicion then led it to connect even more dots.
The Pig Emperor’s face fell.
’It’s over. I’ve stumbled into the grand scheme of some major figures. Is it too late to back out now?’ the Pig Emperor thought.
"It’s too late, little piggy."
"Mo Qi’s" sudden remark nearly scared the life out of the Pig Emperor.
’How does he know what I’m thinking?’
"Not only do I know what you’re thinking, I also know a lot of other things about you, little piggy," "Mo Qi" said with a sly grin.
’If you dare call me ’little piggy’ one more time, believe me, I’ll go berserk!’
"Oh? You want to fight me? You’ll have to train for another few tens of thousands of years for that."
The Pig Emperor: "..."
’So what if you have a Mind Reading Technique? Can’t I just stop thinking then?!’
"Hahaha, you’re still as adorable as ever, little piggy. My time is short, so I need to take care of business first. All in all, the stinky kid’s performance has been acceptable. It hasn’t been a waste of *her* painstaking efforts."
"Mo Qi" rubbed his chin and turned to face the Dragon Vein Imperial Bell.
’I don’t know if this is right or wrong. Once this is rung, your path will become much harder, stinky kid. But this was your choice, and I respect it.’
With that, "Mo Qi" swung his fist and smashed it viciously against the Dragon Vein Imperial Bell.
DONG!
With a tremendous crash, the Dragon Vein Imperial Bell was shattered to pieces by "Mo Qi’s" single punch.
In the next second, an ultra-concentrated wave of Dragon Energy erupted from the shattered Dragon Vein Imperial Bell.
"Mo Qi" bore the brunt of it and was instantly submerged in the Dragon Energy.
’Crap, Mo the kid has really gone and done it now!’
The thought had barely formed before the Pig Emperor was also engulfed by the Dragon Energy and knocked unconscious.
The surging Dragon Energy, which should have swept across the entirety of the land Within the Pass, seemed to be drawn in by some force, contained within the core area.
But the Dragon Might shot unimpeded into the heavens.
RUMBLE!
The entire area Within the Pass, from the five-hundred-li periphery to the Dark Plain deep inside, was swept over by the Dragon Might.
All the prisoners, regardless of their Cultivation, had the shackles and restrictions on their bodies, including their Slave Seals, completely erased in an instant.
The prisoners who had reached the Void Realms quickly understood what had happened based on the unusual phenomena Within the Pass.
Overjoyed, their first thought was undoubtedly to escape before the experts from the Empire arrived. This was the closest they had ever been to freedom.
However, as they excitedly prepared to charge out, they discovered that the entire area Within the Pass was shrouded by an invisible force.
They could move freely Within the Pass, but they could not take a single step outside of it.
Every time they neared the border, they were repelled by a force that was impossible to resist.
Even experts of the Void Realm were no exception.
Now, everyone was dumbfounded.
’Can we still not escape?’
"The Dragon Vein Imperial Bell has been rung! A Treasure is likely to emerge! Let’s go! We’ll seize the treasure, and then we’ll have the leverage to negotiate with the Mountain and Sea Empire!"
A powerful expert made the suggestion, and it received everyone’s support.
"Let’s go, all together!"
At the same time, all the surviving geniuses participating in the annual selection discovered that their Tokens had begun to vibrate slightly.
"We’re about to be teleported out!"
At the edge of the Dragon Vein, Zhu Fan looked at his Token and said.
"Teleported out? But it hasn’t even been three days yet!" Qian Duoduo said, confused.
"It’s probably... related to Mo Qi."
The moment Mo Qi struck the Dragon Vein Imperial Bell, the image formed by the Dragon Energy had cut off.
They didn’t see the moment the Dragon Vein Imperial Bell was shattered, but they all knew what the ringing of the bell meant.
Jin Sanpang wept with joy. "Wuwuwu~ Daddy doesn’t have to die, and Brother Mo doesn’t have to die either! This is great!"
Liu Hui also smiled in relief. Although the process had been perilous, the outcome was good in the end.
"Hm? Something’s flying this way!" Wu the Old Ghost exclaimed, pointing toward the Dragon Vein Core.
"Is it Brother Mo?" Jin Sanpang quickly focused his gaze into the distance.
A dark figure was rapidly approaching, but it wasn’t flying. Rather, it was tumbling and drifting toward them on the shockwave of the Dragon Might.
Wu the Old Ghost reached out and caught the figure. It wasn’t Mo Qi, but his External Incarnation!
Although Wu the Old Ghost and the others didn’t know it was an External Incarnation, they had seen through the image how it switched between its human form and the Battle Armor, so they knew it wasn’t a real person.
The others didn’t understand, but Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang knew exactly what it was.
Moreover, they also knew that Mo Qi and the External Incarnation shared the same consciousness.
The incarnation was unconscious, which meant Mo Qi’s main body was also unconscious.
This wiped away all the joy that Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang had been feeling.
Something had likely happened to Mo Qi!
Otherwise, the External Incarnation would never have appeared here all by itself.
"San Pang is going to find Brother Mo! That damn Dragon Energy has dispersed anyway!" Jin Sanpang hoisted the External Incarnation onto his back and started walking resolutely toward the Dragon Vein Core.
Liu Hui followed him without a word.
"There’s no time! We’re about to be teleported out," Zhu Fan reminded them.
"If Brother Mo isn’t leaving, San Pang isn’t leaving either!"
Saying that, Jin Sanpang threw his Token on the ground. Liu Hui immediately did the same.
Just then, the External Incarnation’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
"Nonsense! San Pang, Liu Hui, pick up your Tokens!" Mo Qi’s voice came from the mouth of the External Incarnation.
