Mo Fan’s words left Yue Liu speechless. For a moment, she did not know how to respond. She could only give an awkward smile.
“Thank you!”
In the end, she uttered a word of thanks.
Although she did not quite understand why Mo Fan had done this, it no longer mattered. What was important was that she had survived. That was enough.
“No need for thanks. Just remember what you owe me. I do not like women who do not keep their promises.”
Mo Fan shrugged his shoulders. He looked up towards the group of cultivators battling in the distance over the sea, only to find that the Sun Moon Holy Sect side had already fallen into a disadvantage.
At this point, Elder Mo Yang was being held back by the Su family’s War King, and signs of defeat were already showing. As for Elder Fei, his situation was even worse. He was surrounded and attacked by three Core Formation cultivators. In the end, he fled deep into the sea, his life or death unknown.
As for those Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were in an even more miserable state. In just a short moment, half of them had already fallen.
Beyond that, three large ships in the distance were slowly approaching the ship Mo Fan and the others were on. At the same time, three strands of divine sense surged from those ships, locking onto Mo Fan and his group.
“Master, what do we do now?”
Seeing this scene, Xiao Huang could not help but feel some anxiety. He turned to look at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan was also frowning at this moment. Then he asked Yue Liu, “Where are the Nascent Soul cultivators of your Sun Moon Holy Sect? Now that we have been completely surrounded by the Su family like dumplings, it is time for them to act, right?”
Upon hearing these words, Yue Liu immediately looked at Mo Fan with surprise. She said helplessly, “Who told you that Nascent Soul ancestors from my sect came as well?”
Hearing this, Mo Fan’s heart sank with a thud. He could not help but ask urgently, “This is no time for jokes. Is there truly no Nascent Soul cultivator escorting and protecting you?”
“I do not understand why you are so certain that we have Nascent Soul cultivators. But the fact is, there are indeed none.”
Yue Liu shrugged her shoulders. Her gaze turned towards the slowly approaching Su family ships. She said gravely, “Moreover, think about it. If there truly were Nascent Soul cultivators in hiding, would the Su family dare to advance so boldly?”
Yue Liu’s words left Mo Fan completely stunned.
Just as she said, if the Sun Moon Holy Sect truly had Nascent Soul cultivators protecting them in secret, how could the Su family dare to attack them?
“Damn it! Rumours really can kill!”
Mo Fan cursed inwardly. The reason he had assumed the Sun Moon Holy Sect had Nascent Soul cultivators accompanying them in secret was precisely because of what that Wu-named cultivator had said in the restaurant that day. This led him to mistakenly believe that Yue Liu and her group were protected by Nascent Soul cultivators in the shadows.
After all, that Wu-named cultivator had said that in the battle at Penglai Holy City, the Su family’s Nascent Soul ancestor had emerged from seclusion and even pursued them into the sea, only to return severely injured in the end.
Now thinking carefully about it, there were indeed countless flaws. If the Su family’s ancestor had truly been severely injured, the Wang family would probably be the first to kick them while they were down!
Thinking of this, Mo Fan could not help but curse inwardly. The words of a drunkard truly could not be trusted!
However, he had no time to argue with Yue Liu about this now. Looking at the increasingly close Su family ships, he immediately took a deep breath and asked Yue Liu, “Then what do we do next?”
As one of the Holy Maidens of the Sun Moon Holy Sect, and having escaped from the Su family before, Mo Fan did not believe she had relied entirely on luck. She must have some trump card!
Of course, if she had none, he would have to consider whether to tie up this Holy Maiden and offer her to the Su family as a bargaining chip for his own survival!
The reason he had killed Su Mu was because he had no good feelings towards the Su family. He also wanted to use Yue Liu’s power to escape to the Divine Domain, thereby gaining a completely new identity for himself.
As the saying goes, it is good to lean against a big tree for shade. Although the Sun Moon Holy Sect was a demonic sect, that did not prevent him from latching onto a powerful backer.
Of course, if Yue Liu had no better plan now, he would have to take the worst possible step. If it came to it, he could only sacrifice the pawn to save the commander.
However, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not do that.
Yu Nian was one thing. His bond with that woman was not deep. But Xiao Huang was different. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not choose that path. Moreover, in Xiao Huang’s storage bag was the little one called Bao’er.
Facing Mo Fan’s question, Yue Liu pondered for a moment. Then she nodded and said gravely, “Come closer to me. Do not stray more than a few metres away!”
Mo Fan nodded. Then he directly said to Xiao Huang, “Take Yu Nian into your storage bag!”
“Yes!”
Xiao Huang nodded. Although Yu Nian was somewhat unwilling, she also understood the current situation and had no choice but to agree.
As Xiao Huang opened his mouth, Yu Nian was immediately taken into his storage bag.
Yue Liu was somewhat surprised by this scene, but she said nothing about it. For her, the most important thing right now was to preserve her life.
When Mo Fan and Xiao Huang came to her side, she no longer hesitated. She pointed a finger towards her forehead.
In the next moment, the crescent moon mark appeared. At the same time, a crescent moon-shaped treasure flew out from it. As soon as the treasure emerged, it caused the entire void to distort.
“A spatial treasure?”
Seeing this, Mo Fan’s expression immediately brightened with joy.
“This is not a magical treasure. It is a secret treasure. It does indeed possess the power to tear through space, but it can only be used three times. I already used it twice when escaping from Three Saints Island. Now, only one use remains!”
“So you had better pray that our luck is good. Otherwise, there will be nowhere left to flee!”
Yue Liu spoke, a bitter smile appearing on her face. Then, without further hesitation, she directly formed seals with both hands, activating the crescent moon secret treasure. This caused the crescent moon to grow increasingly brilliant and the space ahead to become even more distorted!
“Stop them!”
“Do not let that woman escape under any circumstances!”
From behind, the Su family War King roared in anger. With his great halberd, he directly sent Venerable Mo Yang flying. Then, with a fierce throw, the great halberd instantly turned into a black bolt of lightning, whistling towards the location of Mo Fan and the other two!
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, the Sun Moon Holy Sect’s great ship shattered into pieces!
At this moment, the Su family cultivators on the three large ships all soared into the air, quickly flying towards the area where the great ship had broken apart.
By the time they arrived, however, Mo Fan and the other two were long gone.
A figure descended from the sky. He wore golden battle armour. With a casual beckon, a black great halberd flew out from the sea and returned to his hand.
This person was none other than the Su family War King!
His face was stern at this moment. Vast divine sense poured out, sweeping deep into the surrounding sea areas.
After a few moments, he withdrew his divine sense. With a casual slap, the distant sea surface exploded. An invisible giant hand reached deep into the seawater and grabbed an old man, pulling him out.
“War King, spare my life!”
“War King, spare me!!”
Elder Fei was terrified out of his wits, repeatedly begging for mercy.
He found that in the hands of this Su family War King, he had no room to resist at all.
“Tell me, where exactly did that woman go!”
Su Zhan looked at Elder Fei, his gaze calm, but his tone brooked no doubt.
“I… I do not know…”
“Hm?” Su Zhan’s brows furrowed.
“War King, spare my life. I am an elder of the Sun Moon Holy Sect. As long as you let me live, I can serve as an underc…”
“Bang!”
Before Elder Fei’s words could fully leave his mouth, his entire body was directly crushed by Su Zhan, exploding into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air!
At the same time, Elder Fei’s golden core shattered!
“If you cannot provide value, what use are you?”
Su Zhan snorted coldly. Then he ordered, “All forces advance east for a thousand sea miles. Do not overlook any suspicious point!”
“Yes!!”
In an instant, dozens of Plumed Immortal Mounts soared into the sky, flying towards the east.
