Ye Qiu heard Mo Tianji say he had divined it, and his heart thrilled with excitement. Unexpectedly, in the next second, two lines of blood flowed from the corners of Mo Tianji’s eyes.
Immediately after, blood trickled from Mo Tianji’s nostrils, mouth, and ears.
It was shocking!
Ye Qiu jumped in fright and quickly asked, “Tianji, what is wrong with you?”
“I am fine, urgh…” Mo Tianji spat out a large mouthful of blood. His face turned as pale as paper, and his body swayed unsteadily.
The Long Eyebrow Immortal hurried forward and caught Mo Tianji in his arms. He shouted loudly, “Junior Brother!”
Ye Qiu also rushed over, ready to take Mo Tianji’s pulse. At that moment, he suddenly saw a mass of dark aura hidden in the middle of Mo Tianji’s forehead.
Death aura!
Ye Qiu’s heart jolted. He quickly grasped Mo Tianji’s wrist and found that, apart from unstable qi, everything inside Mo Tianji was normal.
“Strange, what exactly happened?”
Ye Qiu looked again at the middle of Mo Tianji’s forehead and saw that the mass of death aura was still gathered, not dispersed.
Ye Qiu immediately judged that this was the sign of premature death.
“No way, this child is doomed to die young?”
In that instant, Ye Qiu felt deep sorrow in his heart.
“Sorry, Tianji, it is my fault.” Ye Qiu apologised guiltily. In his view, the reason Mo Tianji had ended up like this must be related to divining the location of the divine herb just now.
A smile appeared on Mo Tianji’s pale face. He said, “Big Brother, it is not your fault.”
“Master said before that I have the fate of premature death. It is hard for me to live past thirteen.”
“I am just one year away from turning thirteen.”
Ye Qiu quickly asked, “Did your master say anything about what method could save you?”
Mo Tianji said, “Master said my one chance of survival lies with Big Brother. As long as Big Brother can find the remaining half of the human clan’s fortune, I will not die.”
It was the human clan’s fortune again.
Ye Qiu felt immense pressure. He was just a peak Golden Core cultivator. How could he possibly find the remaining half of the human clan’s fortune within a year?
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu comforted Mo Tianji and said, “I will find a way to save you.”
Mo Tianji said gratefully, “Thank you, Big Brother. But Master said that life and death are fated, wealth and honour come from heaven. A person’s destiny is predetermined in the dark. It is best to let nature take its course.”
“Tianji, I disagree with what your master said.” Ye Qiu said seriously, “We cultivators are meant to defy the heavens. How can we submit to fate?”
“Do not give up on yourself. We will help you too. I believe you can definitely survive.”
“As long as your heart turns towards the sun, there will surely be hope!”
“Well said, little brat!” The Long Eyebrow Immortal said, “Junior Brother, remember that at any time, do not submit to fate. Instead, bravely fight against it.”
“You must live well. When we can return to the mortal world in the future, I will take you there to see it.”
“The mortal world is a hundred times more exciting than here. There are countless delicious foods and fun things, and plenty of beautiful women, from mature ladies to little lolis, all sorts…”
Ye Qiu’s face darkened. This old fellow was spouting nonsense again.
“Daoist Priest, is the mortal world really as good as you say?” Lin Daniao leaned over with a face full of disbelief.
“What, you do not believe me?” The Long Eyebrow Immortal said, “If you do not believe, when this poor Daoist returns to the mortal world, come with me. I guarantee it will open your eyes. Places like Palace One, Heaven on Earth, you will have so much fun you will not want to leave…”
“Alright, then I will go with the Daoist Priest to the mortal world to broaden my horizons.” Lin Daniao looked expectant.
At this time, Mo Tianji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up. He said, “Let us go find the divine herb!”
The Long Eyebrow Immortal asked, “Junior Brother, where is the location of the divine herb?”
“Follow me. In two hours, the divine herb will appear.” After Mo Tianji spoke, he led the way ahead.
“Junior Brother, can your body handle it? Shall I call out Xuanwu for you to ride?” The Long Eyebrow Immortal was very worried about Mo Tianji’s condition.
Seeing how much the Long Eyebrow Immortal cared for him, a warm feeling surged in Mo Tianji’s heart. He said, “Thank you, Senior Brother. I am fine.”
At once, the group followed Mo Tianji onward.
This time, they walked a long way. They crossed several massive mountain ranges and a few rivers. Along the road, they encountered some cultivators, but Ye Qiu and the others hid well and did not attract their attention.
One hour later.
“Junior Brother, how much further?” The Long Eyebrow Immortal saw that Mo Tianji showed no sign of stopping and could not help asking.
“It is close.” Mo Tianji replied.
The group continued forward.
Not long after, suddenly, sounds of fighting came from ahead. Even from far away, they could feel the astonishing killing intent.
“Someone is fighting up front.” After the Long Eyebrow Immortal spoke, he rushed forward quickly.
Soon, he saw the people engaged in battle.
“Little brat, your little lover is in danger.” The Long Eyebrow Immortal called out.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw Yun Xi fighting alone against three people. The three attacking her, Ye Qiu recognised at a glance. They were the Sixth Prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, Wei Wuji, the heir of the Great Qian War God Family, Cao Mao, and Pei Gang from the Soul Separation Sect.
“Strange, how did Fairy Yun Xi provoke these few?” The Long Eyebrow Immortal looked puzzled.
Lin Daniao snorted coldly, “These guys must have grown bold from eating bear hearts and leopard galls. They actually dare to attack the saintess of the Eastern Wasteland’s top sect. I think they are courting death.”
Ye Qiu said nothing. He scanned around and found that the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect were not present. He felt a bit puzzled.
“Where did those disciples of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect go?”
Then, he looked towards the battlefield and saw Yun Xi being forced back step by step by the three working together.
Endless divine light burst from Cao Mao’s body. His fists hammered out continuously. Each punch carried the momentum of heaven and earth shattering, like an invincible war god.
Wei Wuji held an iron fan in his hand. His speed was incredibly fast, and his movement was very strange. From time to time, his figure vanished into thin air, only to reappear eerily beside Yun Xi for a sneak attack, making it hard to guard against.
As for Pei Gang, this fellow had immense strength. That copper hammer weighing thirty-eight thousand jin was like a toy in his hands. He kept smashing it towards Yun Xi.
These three were all peak Cave Heaven geniuses. United, even an early Nascent Soul expert might not withstand them.
Although Yun Xi was on par with them in realm, facing three geniuses together, she was in constant peril.
Cao Mao laughed, “Yun Xi, stop resisting. It is your honour that I fancy you. Do not be ungrateful.”
Wei Wuji followed, “Fairy Yun Xi, come with this prince to Great Wei. In the future, the position of Great Wei’s empress will surely be yours.”
Pei Gang grinned like a big gorilla and said, “Yun Xi, come with me to the Soul Separation Sect. In the future, be the sect master’s wife, then we can have a litter of kids.”
Hearing these three’s words, Ye Qiu immediately understood why they were besieging Yun Xi.
At once, a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes!
