Chapter 276 The Immortal Mo Yi
This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml
They transcend within yin, their appearance undefined, they’re ghosts without family names, and they had no name on the Three Mountains.
They were named immortals, but were truly ghosts.
Instead of deriving power from the Great Dao, they used the power of yin and deception.
When the moon rose, the yin power was strongest under Heaven, while the yang power was weakest. Mo Yi stood on the top of the pavilion and looked down condescendingly at everyone. The look in his eyes was so cold that they looked like the eyes of a corpse.
"State Preceptor, we’ve to put our lives on the line again," Baili Dongjun said loudly.
Qi Tianchen raised his fingers, and his hair and beard stood on ends. He was already an old man, but his voice was clear with the aura of youth. "One seeks humanity and finds it, then he can die content. I’m already an old man who’s going to die, yet I have a chance to put my life on the line with another. It is my gain."
Baili Dongjun slapped Lei Wujie hard on his shoulder, and passed Lei Wujie a strand of his own qi. "You’re very good, like your father and also like your sister. Such a pity that we don’t have a lot of people here to witness this duel. Otherwise, you could have become famous with one duel."
"Rise!" Lei Wujie couldn't restrain himself anymore, and he soared up with a violent lurch.
Baili Dongjun and Qi Tianchen leaped forward right behind Lei Wujie.
Fire burned in their eyes.
But Mo Yi’s eyes contained ice, ice that had been condensed from hundreds and thousands of years of loneliness. There was not a trace of emotion, and not a hint of conflict.
He raised a finger and stopped the combined attack from the three of them.
Standing at the base of the pavilion, Xiao Se gathered his collars slightly and said with an even tone, "Qianluo, you still have some strength left, yes?"
Sikong Qianluo nodded. In fact, the person with the most energy right now was her. Apart from the few moves she made against Mo Yi at the start, she had been far away from the battle and basically had not expended too much of her strength.
"Throw the Silver Moon spear at him," Xiao Se said seriously.
Sikong Qianluo was stunned. She glanced briefly at the Silver Moon spear in her hand, and spoke without confidence, "With my ability, will it be of any use?"
"You must believe me, and also believe in yourself," Xiao Se said, directing a smile at her. "We can change everything here."
Seeing the rare smile from Xiao Se, Sikong Qianluo was dazed at first, and then nodded a few times. "Okay." She turned around and readied her spear.
Her father once used a single spear to break the Severed Space Array at the base of Mount Qilian cast by more than ten elders of the Demonic Cult. He saved nearly a thousand heroic disciples of various sects. Today, she could also do what nobody else could do.
She hurled her spear fiercely, and the spear screamed through the air as if a hundred birds cried out at once!
Right at this moment, Xiao Se took a step forward and grabbed the tail of the spear. So the Silver Moon spear brought Xiao Se with it as it flew up and straight towards Mo Yi.
Xiao Se lowered his head and gave Sikong Qianluo a small smile.
Sikong Qianluo’s eyes filled with tears and she stomped her feet. "You lied to me!"
The Silver Moon spear had reached Mo Yi but Mo Yi was not concerned with this silver spear at all. He struck his palm at Baili Dongjun, Qi Tianchen, and Lei Wujie and knocked them back. Baili Dongjun and Qi Tianchen landed, and barely managed to stand up again. But, Lei Wujie finally lost consciousness and collapsed onto the ground. Mo Yi raised another finger and didn’t bother with a second look as he flicked away the Silver Moon spear. At the same time, Xiao Se had relinquished the spear as he took a flying leap. He reached out with both arms and grabbed Mo Yi’s shoulders.
The same purple light coursed through Xiao Se's eyes, similar to Mo Yi in a way that was difficult to describe.
Demon Enthrallment.
Mo Yi was stunned. At that moment, Xiao Se disappeared, Qi Tianchen disappeared, Baili Dongjun disappeared, everyone who was present disappeared.
Even the pavilion disappeared.
The immortal mountain beyond the sea disappeared.
That vast and boundless sea disappeared.
But the hands on his shoulders did not disappear, and Mo Yi followed the pair of jade white hands to look at the person in front of him.
He saw a man dressed all in white, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his face pure and honest with a smile, looking like an immortal who had descended.
"The immortal said an enlightened being is unmoved by emotions. He meant unmoved, not unfeeling. You have not let go of the obsession in your heart, and have let yourself become unfeeling. I am very disappointed in you." The man spoke harshly but still smiled with kindness.
"Who… are you?" Mo Yi said hesitantly.
"I am Mo Yi." The man in white released his hands. His long sleeves fluttered and danced as one who had reached the pinnacle.
Mo Yi stared blankly at the person dancing before him. Faintly, he said, "Mo Yi?"
The fallen leaves swirled about and the long sleeves settled, revealing that peerless face once again. The man in white continued to smile.
His smile was as beautiful as the spring breeze, when the peach blossoms were blossoming. The beauty was graceful and fleeting, rising in spirals like smoke from a chimney. The beauty was like the setting sun in the west and the reflection of the sky and sea at the horizon. The man in white nodded. "The immortal Mo Yi."
"No, I am Mo Yi." Mo Yi suddenly shook his head.
In an instant, all the illusions dissipated.
The hands on his shoulders were very thin and pale. Mo Yi looked up. "What martial arts is this?"
"This is not martial arts." The purple light in Xiao Se's eyes dispersed. "It’s just to show you your own heart."
"My own heart?" Mo Yi murmured.
"Citymaster Baili!" An angry shout rang out, and in the instant Mo Yi was distracted, Qi Tianchen had arrived behind him. He wrapped his arms around him and retreated together with him into the distance.
"Okay!" Baili Dongjun stepped up immediately and chased after him.
Without support, Xiao Se fell sharply. He took out the exquisite jade bottle from his robes and threw it at Baili Dongjun. "Citymaster Baili, catch."
Baili Dongjun instantly understood Xiao Se’s plan, raised a finger and struck it at the delicate jade bottle. "Break!"
The jade bottle shattered into pieces, and the wine in it spilled out. The fragrance of the wine permeated the air within a one-mile radius.
"Shidi, turn back and atone," Qi Tianchen said loudly.
"Shixiong, you go back!" Mo Yi twitched his arms, and flung Qi Tianchen aside. He turned around, and used his only intact left sleeve to sweep relentlessly at Qi Tianchen.
In an instant, Qi Tianchen's figure was finally swept into powder and disappeared without a trace.
"State Preceptor!" Baili Dongjun bellowed.
Thousands of miles away in Heavenly Revelations City, Directorate of Astronomy.
Four celestial masters vomited blood at the same time, withdrawing themselves from the array.
"The Dragon… Dragon-Seeking Array was broken? How’s that possible? With the power of our Astronomy, how could the Dragon-Seeking Array be broken!" One of the lightly injured celestial masters whispered in surprise.
"Director, what on earth happened?" Another celestial master looked at Qi Tianchen who was sitting next to them.
Qi Tianchen finally regained his consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.
From when he closed his eyes to when he opened them again, only two hours had passed. But, his face seemed to have aged decades.
"Director, how was it?" One of the celestial masters wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth. He endured the pain and asked, "Did we succeed?"
Qi Tianchen's face was pale, and he sat there without saying a word.
"Director?" Another celestial master called out anxiously.
Qi Tianchen pointed two fingers and tapped on the seven major acupoints on his own chest. Then, he opened his mouth and slowly exhaled a puff of black smoke. At this point, his complexion started to look slightly more relieved, but he still didn’t answer the celestial master’s question. Instead, he murmured in a low voice, "The rest is up to Snow Moon City now."
