Chapter 162 Dominance
In order to take the shortest route, the path pointed out by Mo Jiuwei avoided all high-level cultivators and high-ranking demonic beasts, but it did not avoid ordinary cultivators.

It seems that news of the Yi Ling Teng has spread, and people from the surrounding area rushed over immediately, resulting in a large number of cultivators in Cangming Plains compared to the past. You can encounter several people every short distance.

In this situation, if everyone wants to avoid it, they would undoubtedly have to take a longer route, but they don't have that much time.

Hu Jiu repeatedly took out Qi Heng's life tablet to examine it. Although the tablet's light was unstable, it was always moving and did not show the dark color of death. This indicated that although Qi Heng was seriously injured, he was at least still alive.

Everyone was anxiously searching for Qi Heng, and they hardly stopped along the way.

When the spiritual energy is depleted, replenish it with pills; when the talisman becomes ineffective, obtain a new one.

Anyway, the pills to replenish spiritual energy were made by Du Yue herself, and the talismans to accelerate progress were made by Hu Jiu, so they could afford to wait.

Even Mo Jiuwei, who usually seems quite delicate, remained quiet throughout the entire process, not asking for food or drink as she usually does.

And always

"Is Cangming Lake just ahead?"

Hu Jiu saw the shimmering light ahead. Although its color was also grayish, he recognized it at a glance as a lake.

"Yes, this is Cangming Lake."

"Does Senior Brother Qi mean that the Yi Ling Vine is in the lake?"

Everyone stopped and walked to the lakeside to look.

However, the lake was too large, and from the outside it appeared completely calm, so it was impossible to see even a tiny Yi Ling vine.

After searching in vain, they secretly looked at Mo Jiuwei.

Junior sister, tell me quickly, what's the next step?
Ling Qing's eyes flickered slightly as she subtly swept her gaze across everyone's faces.

Along the way, he witnessed firsthand Mo Jiuwei's dominant position within the entire sect.

Everyone called her "Junior Sister" and doted on her like a child, but on the other hand, they listened to her as if she were a senior member of the family. Wherever she said to go, everyone went without hesitation.

This seems very strange. People who don't know the inside story might think these people are crazy, but Ling Qing has already experienced it firsthand. He is one of the people saved by Mo Jiuwei and was also a beneficiary of her decisions.

Therefore, what he saw did not raise any doubts for him. He simply became more aware of Mo Jiuwei's status and found her increasingly mysterious.

How could a child possess such abilities? Was she born extraordinary like a child prodigy, or... was she possessed?
The subsequent guess was rejected by Ling Qing as soon as it surfaced.

No, that can't be. Ling Qing had seen people who had been possessed before. The incongruity between the soul and the body was very obvious. To someone as perceptive as him, it was full of flaws. But he didn't find any such flaws in Mo Jiuwei.

Mo Jiuwei noticed the occasional glances Ling Qing gave her, filled with doubt and curiosity.

She didn't take it to heart, because she knew that Ling Qing was a kind-hearted person who wouldn't do anything to harm herself.

At this moment, Mo Jiuwei swung her legs, indicating that she wanted to get down.

Ling Qing then placed her on the ground, carefully supporting her back with her hands to prevent her from losing her balance and falling to the ground.

What a joke! She's very strong, how could she possibly lose her balance and fall on her butt!
After standing still, she took two steps forward and peered into the lake.

"Junior Sister, what do you think, should we continue on our way, or what?" Meng Ling squatted down next to her, smiling as she looked at her.

The one-year-old girl stood there like a little adult, her pink gauze dress making her little face look even more adorable.

However, her expression was not like that of a child; it was excessively quiet and mature, especially her serious look when she was thinking, which gave people a sense of untouchable distance, like ice and snow.

But soon, the ice and snow melted, and a smile appeared on her little face. "Let's get the Yi Ling Vine first, then we can continue our journey."

Senior Brother Qi left the Yi Ling Vine here and went to escape, probably prepared to die.

Even at that time, they were still thinking about their sect... The Immortal Sect is truly the most united and loving sect, bar none.

Whether we gather together or not, we are all of one mind and can always work together as one.

The Mu brothers were like this, and so was Qi Heng. They had all left their sect at some point, but no matter how long they were away or what they experienced, it did not affect their loyalty to the sect.

Mo Jiuwei thought that the reason she was willing to plan for them and truly treat them as fellow disciples was probably because of this.

"You mean, the Yi Ling Teng is really in the lake??" Liu Feng was astonished.

“Yes, there must be markings along the lake.” Mo Jiuwei nodded.

[A mark that only the Immortal Sect can understand!]

Mo Jiuwei took the lead and started walking around the lake, looking down as she searched.

"If that's really the case, then the mark my senior brother left might be this." Liu Feng's heart stirred, and then he squatted down, picked up a twig, and drew a mark.

"Is this the mark of the Immortal Sect?" Meng Ling asked. "I don't think I've ever seen it before."

“The tokens given to disciples by the Immortal Sect have this mark on them.” Liu Feng said, taking out his own token to show everyone. However, this token was white, and the mark was not as conspicuous as the one drawn on the ground. “But since the disciples have all passed away, the tokens have no longer been issued.”

When there were many disciples, the tokens were useful, but now that there are only a handful of disciples in the sect, the tokens have lost their purpose, so there's no need to bother making them.

save money!

"I see." Meng Ling understood.

No wonder I've never seen her before; she didn't have a token at all.

Everyone remembered this sign, and then they scattered to search for it.

Many hands make light work, and Yi Xingyun quickly waved his hand, "Here!"

Everyone was overjoyed and rushed over, and sure enough, they found similar patterns on a tree by the lake.

“That thing is hidden down here,” Mo Jiuwei said with certainty.

"I'll go down."

Yi Xingyun nimbly jumped into the lake and made a discovery after swimming in it for only a short while.

There was a hole dug on the bank, with a box placed inside, and then the hole was covered with mud. You could feel the unevenness by touching it.

The box was brought up, and when it was opened, a Qiankun bag was found lying quietly inside.

Everyone fell silent, and Chen Lan's eyes reddened; she was deeply moved.

I thought this was just a collection of Yi Ling vines, but I never imagined it contained all of Senior Brother Qi's wealth!

"How could he..." Liu Feng was also taken aback.

“No wonder he didn’t reply with the transmission talisman, it turns out that…” Hu Jiu’s voice became hoarse, “He didn’t forget to hide a Qiankun bag for us while he was escaping.”

This is because I was thinking of the sect's poverty, so I wanted to do something for them one last time!
