Mo Xiang coming to find Ye Yu was perhaps truly a desperate act.
But it was also something unavoidable.
The Mo family was still under martial law, forbidding any outsider from entering.
All immortals inside were loyal to Mo Jiuming and would never help her.
If they missed Ye Yu, they could only watch helplessly as Mo Sanjia suffered and died.
So Mo Xiang had no choice but to gamble.
But she was not a fool.
After discussing matters with Ye Yu, she immediately took half a step back and seriously said she had set a restriction within her soul.
If you forcibly try to search my soul,
I will self-destruct and die,
so that you will never find the location of that ghost immortal.
Hearing this, Ye Yu could not help but laugh.
Looks like this maid was not too brainless after all.
Hmm, it was just a trade. Why not?
As for the Mo family’s internal struggle, it was none of his business.
What?
What about Mo Jiuming? A mere acquaintance?
He owed that kid his life once, and now he was after Lady Xin Wan’en, hoping to get clues about the Underworld’s path.
Not killing him was already generous enough.
What else was there to consider?
After arranging everything,
Ye Yu followed Mo Xiang and stealthily infiltrated the Mo family again.
The whole process was effortless, perfectly avoiding the high-level array formations ahead.
They truly moved silently.
This made Ye Yu somewhat suspicious of Mo Xiang’s identity.
Was she really just a lowly maid of the Mo family?
Normally, an immortal of such a rank would never know the loopholes in the Mo family’s array formation.
How could she be so familiar?
Sensing Ye Yu’s strange expression,
Mo Xiang thought something had gone wrong and immediately asked, “What’s wrong? Do you regret it?”
“No, I’m just curious. How do you know about this secret passage with your identity? This is a loophole in the Mo family’s formation.”
Ye Yu voiced his doubts.
Mo Xiang shyly lowered her head again.
“Third Master always takes me out this way to play. Over time, I got familiar with it.”
Hearing this explanation, Ye Yu felt speechless.
Well, that was a reasonable explanation.
A young master and his maid having secret outings for fun was normal.
But just say so.
Why the constant shyness?
Damn, truly a love-struck brain!
After entering the Mo family,
Ye Yu decisively concealed himself and followed closely behind Mo Xiang.
Along the way, they saw very few Mo family members.
Only a handful of immortals dressed as servants who, upon seeing Mo Xiang, respectfully greeted her proactively.
Soon, they arrived in front of the Extreme Punishment Tower.
Only two Heavenly Immortal Realm immortals guarded the entrance.
According to Mo Xiang’s earlier explanation,
due to the recent turmoil and fierce fighting in the Mo family,
most immortals had sustained varying degrees of injuries.
They were mostly recuperating in their own blessed lands or caves.
Few immortals were active outside.
Hence, only two immortals guarded this place.
According to the agreement with Mo Xiang,
all Ye Yu had to do was enter the Extreme Punishment Tower and sever the Extreme Cold Soul Binding Rope binding Mo Sanjia.
Nothing else needed to be done.
At present, everything was going smoothly.
Once they passed these two guards,
they could meet the legendary “Third Master” as promised!
Oh, that damn palace intrigue title really made one’s skin crawl.
Mo Xiang, relying on her status as Mo Jiuming’s maid, showed no hesitation.
She strode up to the two immortals.
Feigning disgust, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and muffled, “By order of the family head, open the Extreme Punishment Tower. I want to see with my own eyes whether Mo Sanjia is dead or alive!”
Hearing this,
the two guards exchanged a glance,
both feeling awkward.
They said, “Miss Mo, the family head personally ordered that no Mo family immortal may see the traitor Mo Sanjia.
Unless you carry his token.
So show the token and the door will open. Don’t make things difficult for us.”
“Don’t want to do it? You think I want to come to this unlucky place?
It’s truly the family head’s personal order.
What, do you doubt my message is fake?
Want me to call the family head here now to prove my honesty?”
Mo Xiang’s tone was full of impatience.
It seemed she might turn and leave anytime to report to the family head.
Seeing this,
the two guards frowned.
Though Mo Xiang was just a maid, she was close to the family head.
Offending her might bring trouble later.
Besides, just taking a look inside the Extreme Punishment Tower shouldn’t be a problem, right?
The two guards exchanged a look and were about to act.
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.
“Mo Xiang, you really have guts! How dare you use my name to spread false orders!”
Hearing this,
everyone turned to see Mo Jiuming slowly emerging from the shadows.
The two guards immediately cupped their hands in salute.
Mo Xiang trembled all over.
Seeing Mo Jiuming’s dark expression,
she involuntarily took half a step back.
How did the family head appear all of a sudden?
Was it really a coincidence?
Before Mo Xiang could answer,
Mo Jiuming spoke again:
“Immortal friend, immortal friend, since you have left,
why come back to stir this mess?
If you had obediently left back then, how good that would have been.
I might have remembered that friendship,
but now, you must stay!”
Hearing this,
Ye Yu no longer concealed himself,
stepped out beside Mo Xiang,
and quietly asked, “How did you find me?”
Mo Jiuming shook his head, “Your stealth is clever, but there is one fatal flaw:
a smart woman!
In fact, when Mo Xiang left the Mo family,
I already received news.
I just didn’t expect she would come to you,
and even want you to save Mo Sanjia.
Really absurd!”
After speaking,
Mo Jiuming waved his big sleeve,
and the main gate of the Extreme Punishment Tower instantly opened.
Immediately, Mo Tian, a trusted subordinate, walked out.
He casually threw a bloodied immortal heavily in front of Ye Yu.
Though the man’s face was covered in blood,
Mo Xiang recognized him as her beloved, Mo Sanjia.
“Third Master!”
Mo Xiang rushed forward to lift Mo Sanjia from the ground.
But found his body gradually dissipating like a shadow.
No matter how Mo Xiang wept,
she could not bring him back.
She could only watch helplessly as Mo Sanjia completely disappeared.
Her painful cries tore the heart apart,
but soon ceased,
because Mo Xiang resolutely chose to °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° end her own life,
to fall together with Mo Sanjia in the Heavenly Realm.
Ye Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Sacrificing oneself for love was beautiful,
but Miss, you have not yet fulfilled your promise to reveal my wife’s whereabouts.
That was somewhat inconsiderate.
