Chapter 476: Chapter 473: Leaving
The Wolf Demon’s meaning was simple. Mo Qi had been so dazzling today, his techniques and trump cards so unheard-of and powerful, that he was certain to be coveted by other humans.
The Immortals from the Hall of Envoys, in particular, would likely leverage their immense power and superior status to make a move on Mo Qi and seize his secrets.
After all, the greed of the Human Race and their love for infighting were famous among all species.
"Only the mediocre escape envy," Mo Qi said with a smile. "Besides, to be targeted by so many powerful Immortals... I feel quite honored."
The Wolf Demon was stunned, asking in surprise, "You know they won’t let you go?"
Mo Qi shrugged. "Does it matter?"
Since he dared to display so many of his abilities in front of everyone, he must have been confident he could get away unscathed.
The Wolf Demon quickly came to the same conclusion, and its estimation of Mo Qi rose yet again.
’This kid is really something! If he doesn’t die today, he’ll become a grave threat to my Demon Race in the future!’
It desperately wanted to act now and finish Mo Qi, but it knew that with the white-robed youth from the Nether Race around, if it dared make a move, it would be the first one to die.
The Wolf Demon didn’t know that Mo Qi had already provoked the white-robed youth into leaving. After much hesitation, it still didn’t dare to strike.
The conversation between Mo Qi and the Wolf Demon was not concealed, and all the Immortals heard every word.
When the Wolf Demon threatened to go on a killing spree, the faces of everyone present changed drastically. At the same time, they couldn’t help but sweat for Mo Qi’s audacity.
’This kid has some serious nerve!’
But when the Wolf Demon’s words implicitly warned Mo Qi to be wary of his fellow humans, the Immortals’ hearts leaped into their throats. Their faces burned as if their ulterior motives had been exposed.
Mo Qi’s nonchalant attitude and his calm demeanor, as if he had seen through everything all along, made them feel even more ashamed.
It was true that Mo Qi had made them pregnant, and had used the opportunity to blackmail and extort them—an act of extreme humiliation.
But regardless, it was a fact that the "peanuts" had cured the hidden injuries in their bodies.
Moreover, Mo Qi had fought five Demon Beasts in a row, winning every single battle and saving them from being slaughtered by the Wolf Demon.
To put it plainly, it would be no exaggeration to call Mo Qi their savior!
And how had they planned to treat this savior?
Only they themselves knew the answer to that.
Just then, a deep, muffled boom resounded from above, like thunder, yet seemingly right on top of them.
BOOM!
Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts, as if they had been struck by a heavy blow.
The disciples of the various Sub-Palaces grunted, their faces turning pale.
The Immortals, in contrast, were startled at first, then overjoyed.
’Rescue has arrived!’
Protected by his Five Elements Dominating Body and bolstered by his good fortune and the Power of the Dragon Vein, Mo Qi was largely unaffected.
He glanced up at the sky, then at the Wolf Demon, the corners of his lips curling into a slight smile.
’The farce is about to end, and the real show is about to begin.’
"Where did this vile beast come from? How dare you run rampant in the territory of the Human Race!"
An angry roar echoed.
The next second, a fissure split the sky. A pair of enormous, clearly visible hands reached out from within, struggling to pry the crack open and tear it wider.
KRA-KA-CRACK!
It wasn’t space that was shattering, but the lockdown barrier the Wolf Demon had erected.
"The Palace Guard Army is here! We’re saved!"
The Hall of Envoys is affiliated with the Five Great Holy Lands of the Immortal Realm, and with so many families and factions within each Sub-Palace, disputes and conflicts are naturally unavoidable.
To prevent the Hall of Envoys from destroying itself through excessive internal strife, the Immortal Realm dispatched a group of powerful experts to form a special organization: the Palace Guard Army!
Normally, the Palace Guard Army does not interfere in the affairs of the Hall of Envoys unless a major event occurs that threatens the very foundation of the Hall.
Such as the current situation.
In many cases, the Palace Guard Army’s role is more that of an arbiter, adjudicating the rights and wrongs in conflicts between the various Sub-Palaces.
The moment the lockdown was torn open, the Immortals immediately contacted the Palace Guard Army and reported everything that had happened on the island.
Including all of Mo Qi’s exploits.
"Ten members of the Guard Army at once. What a grand display!"
The Wolf Demon sneered. It raised a hand, recalling the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact along with Huangfu Yu. Then it grabbed Bai Fa, its figure flashing as it leaped into the air.
"Open!"
It let out a low growl and spat out a Seal Rune from its mouth.
After the Seal Rune merged into the void, a Void Gate slowly opened. Rampant spatial forces surged wildly, releasing powerful waves of Energy.
"Kid, we’ll meet again!" the Wolf Demon said to Mo Qi with a soft chuckle before leaping into the Void Gate.
Before it left, Bai Fa sent a voice transmission to Mo Qi: "I lost this time. I’ll be waiting for you in the Demon Spirit Battlefield for a fight to the death!"
Huangfu Yu’s voice also rang in Mo Qi’s ears: "Mo Qi, just you wait! As long as I’m alive, I will never let you go!"
Mo Qi: "..."
’I could understand if someone else said that, but what right do you, Huangfu Yu, have to make such threats?’
’You always say you’ll never let me go, but you always run away like a coward. Why don’t you fucking come and fight me for once!’
’Haven’t you noticed that the gap between us isn’t shrinking over time? In fact, it’s only getting wider.’
’Next time we meet, I doubt you’ll even have the chance to make empty threats.’
CRASH!
Just then, the lockdown barrier the Wolf Demon had created was torn to shreds completely.
Ten experts clad in silver armor descended from the sky.
At the same time, the Void Gate slowly closed, and the Space Storm gradually subsided.
"Mo the kid, aren’t you leaving? If you don’t go now, you’ll be out of time!" the Pig Emperor reminded him.
"Let’s go!"
With a single thought from Mo Qi, the phantom Five Elements Tree rapidly retracted, and his thirty-zhang-tall body quickly returned to its normal size.
Seeing this, the Pig Emperor quickly sat upright on his shoulder, brought its front hooves together, and began to chant.
A ray of golden light shot out from between the Pig Emperor’s brows, transforming into a cloak that settled over Mo Qi.
Mo Qi turned his head, his gaze sweeping over old acquaintances—Liu Hui, Jin Sanpang, Qian Duoduo, and Wu Bainian—before finally resting on Niu Kexin and Liu Ruyan.
"We’ll meet again in the Demon Spirit Battlefield!"
After sending the message, he made his move, slipping through the Void Gate just before it closed completely.
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the Void Gate snapped shut, then faded away as if it had never been there at all.
"My Lord!"
"Brother Mo!"
"Big Bro!"
"Uncle!"
The names were different, but the reluctance to see him go and the reliance they implied were all the same.
Aside from Liu Hui and his group, everyone else’s attention had been completely captured by the Palace Guard Army.
So by the time they noticed Mo Qi slipping into the Void Gate, it was too late to stop him.
"It’s over! Without the protection of the power from a Venerable Position, entering a Void Gate is a one-way ticket to death!"
A Void Gate typically connects two locations that are extremely far apart, so the spatial forces within are tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times more powerful than a typical shattered void!
Even an ordinary Immortal would find it difficult to survive inside.
Only a powerful Immortal like the Wolf Demon, who has established a Venerable Position, could navigate it with ease.
