Fellow Daoist Entrusts His Child: Immortality Begins with Nurturing a Demoness

Chapter 109 Mo Xue Found You (7000 words)
"I'm here to ask for someone."

Ming Ruoxue's voice was calm, and she spoke sparingly.

She looked down at him with indifferent blue eyes, her divine sense pouring out to envelop the entire cave, seemingly not taking Tuo Tian seriously at all.

"Junior Sister, who are you looking for? I, your senior brother, might be able to lend a hand."

Tuo Tian stood with his hands behind his back, a peaceful smile on his face. His powerful divine sense overflowed, showing no sign of weakness. Although he was slightly inferior to Ming Ruoxue, he had the home-field advantage and the two were evenly matched for a moment.

“Ling Moxue, I was conscripted by your Tuo family two months ago. Now that the conscription order has been lifted, I have come to lead people back.”

"Oh? I've been in seclusion for over two months. Ling Moxue, I've never heard of her. Perhaps she's a servant summoned by the sect."

“The conscription order has been lifted. If the person does not wish to be conscripted, it would be considered a forced conscription, and your family has overstepped its bounds.”

Ming Ruoxue spoke slowly and deliberately, her long black hair flowing like a starry curtain, her white dress fluttering, her beauty ethereal and extraordinary.

"Unwilling? It is an honor for a rogue cultivator to be summoned by the Tuo family, let alone to come to the Tuo family's grotto, which is an opportunity that many people seek but cannot obtain. How can you say you are unwilling?"

Tuo Tian sneered, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Ming Ruoxue.

Two months ago, he was forced to fight Ming Ruoxue. The two fought for hundreds of moves, but he was ultimately outmatched and lost to this woman. His meridians were seriously injured, and he almost lost his substitution technique, which greatly damaged his prestige.

Ling Moxue, hehe, is just a lowly maidservant from a rogue cultivator, newly assigned to him by the clan.

He heard from his servants that she had good talent and high skill in swordsmanship, and seemed to have a special physique. However, he had already killed two such people by using her to replenish his energy, so he didn't care too much about her. If Ming Ruoxue hadn't forced her way into the mountain gate, he wouldn't have bothered to leave the seclusion.

"Let go."

Ming Ruoxue's emerald eyes turned cold, and a misty blue light enveloped her graceful figure.

Ling Gang was poised to unleash his power. Tuo Tian narrowed his eyes and casually waved his hand. The Gengjin Mountain Range behind him hummed and trembled, and then the earth shook. A crimson-gold light curtain emanated from the western central palace, instantly enveloping the entire cave heaven like an inverted curtain.

Second-tier superior formation, Geng Metal Four Palaces Formation.

"Junior sister, do you have any evidence? If you have no evidence, your uninvited arrival and forced entry into the Tuo family's guarded cave is a blatant disrespect to your senior brother."

Tuo Tian's smile vanished. He formed the Golden Seal with his hands, and the sharp aura of the White Emperor condensed in mid-air into countless illusory sword shadows, each possessing power no less than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's full-force attack.

"Hmph! As an inner disciple, I am free to enter the cave heavens under the jurisdiction of Luoshen Pavilion. Why do I need to ask for permission?"

Ming Ruoxue did not back down and held the soul tablet high in her hand.

The jade tablet shone brightly, its spiritual essence naturally formed. The profound light of the Supreme Emotionless Luoshen Technique shone through the tablet, causing the array patterns to break down on their own and gradually dim. Clearly, the owner of the soul tablet had far greater control over the array than Tuo Tian.

"The Tuo family's forced summoning of Ling Moxue is an overreach. If they continue to make the same mistake, I will report it to my master and immediately awaken his divided soul to punish them severely."

Tuo Tian's expression froze slightly, and his gaze at the soul tablet gradually darkened.

He recognized the soul tablet; it was a gift from Ming Ruoxue's master, and also from Tuo Yuanxi, a Golden Core cultivator from the Tuo family.

After mastering the Art of Forgetting Emotions, this patriarch left the Camel Clan and took charge of the Lineage of Severing Thoughts, tolerating no imperfection in his eyes.

"Junior sister, let me repeat myself: you say my Tuo family forcibly recruited you, haha, do you have any evidence?"

Tuo Tian's hostility subsided slightly; he and even the Tuo family truly couldn't afford to offend Tuo Yuanxi.

This ancestor came from the Tuo family and was well aware of his family's sordid ways. After resonating with the Xuanzhang, he focused on purging the Tuo family, especially on sword forging and the secret technique of body transfer. Family members were punishing family members, and the Tuo family suffered terribly for a long time.

They had to lie low and endure for a long time until the headmaster personally issued an order to send the patriarch of the Tuo family to a distant land to eliminate demons. Only then did their situation improve slightly. Twenty years have passed since then, and now they only dare to secretly practice the secret sword-forging technique in the cave.

"The one who makes the false accusation will be punished. Junior Sister, have you thought this through?"

"Summon Mo Xue out so we can confront her directly."

“Junior sister, as I said, I don’t know any Ling Moxue. With my status, why would I care about a mere rogue cultivator?”

Tuo Tian sneered, turning his gaze to Luo Fanchen beside Ming Ruoxue. He narrowed his eyes and scrutinized him closely. In just a moment, the divine sense of the late Foundation Establishment stage made Luo Fanchen feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and every inch of his skin felt as if it were being licked by a tongue.

His dantian was burning hot, and his Yi Wood True Essence hummed. He quickly returned to normal and glared back fiercely without showing any weakness.

Tuo Tian was slightly taken aback, and clicked his tongue, saying, "Tsk tsk, I'm not like my junior sister, who treats even a Qi Refining ant as a treasure."

Tuo Tian naturally remembered Luo Fanchen. He had heard the other's name from Liu Xia several times and had even deliberately checked his information.

He is at the seventh level of Qi Refining and lives with Ling Moxue. Although he has five spiritual roots, his combat skills and true essence strength far exceed those of others at the same level, seemingly due to a special physique. He belongs to a branch of the Luo family and is especially valued by Ming Ruoxue.

"I don't know Mo Xue, so I'm afraid I can't help you. Please do as you see fit, Junior Sister."

Tuo Tian stopped there, lightly waving his folding fan, and had no intention of getting into another conflict with Ming Ruoxue.

If we just delay for a moment, and wait for Ling Moxue to take the Essence Blood Sword Pill, then it will naturally not be a matter of "coercion".

He did not withdraw his divine sense and continued to confront Ming Ruoxue, neutralizing her divine sense and spiritual pressure. Unable to perceive her with his divine sense, he searched by manpower alone for three days and three nights, but could not find any trace of Ling Moxue.

Even if the sword slaves he values ​​are used for medicinal purposes, they are not something that rogue cultivators can touch.

"Can you find Mo Xue?"

Beneath the thin veil, Ming Ruoxue's lips were tightly pressed together. She silently took out a few Cleansing Heart Pills and swallowed them, her pretty face expressionless.

As the fragrance of lotus seeds gradually intensified, Luo Fanchen keenly sensed that Fairy Ruoxue was very angry.

"Yes, it's located in the heart of the Gengjin Mountains."

Luo Fanchen closed his eyes slightly, and with the sense of destiny linked by the Demoness Record, he quickly sensed and confirmed Mo Xue's location.

“Tu Tian is fearless and must have a backup plan. He won’t let me get close to Mo Xue.”

Ming Ruoxue's voice was calm, her dantian hummed, and her meridian energy surged. At the same time, a layer of mist and frost gradually enveloped the area within a hundred meters.

"Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to force our way in. I will help you hold off the Foundation Establishment cultivator. Are you confident you can bring Mo Xue back?"

"I will definitely bring Mo Xue back."

Luo Fanchen's eyes were icy cold, making no attempt to hide his killing intent towards Tuo Tian. The latter, with his hands behind his back, looked amused and completely disregarded this Qi Refining ant, letting the two of them loudly plot their scheme.

"it is good."

Ming Ruoxue nodded slightly and casually tossed out a jade token, which turned out to be a new retainer's token: "This item contains one of my divine abilities. You should know how to activate it. It can be of great help to you in critical moments."

As the one who created and issued the retainer token, she could naturally sense whether the supernatural power was activated or not; the token in Luo Fanchen's hand had already been used.

It must have been from the Yimu Secret Realm, used during her battle with Ling Leng. She didn't proactively ask Luo Fanchen about the reason for activating it, but instead reforged a retainer token along the way for him to use for self-defense.

"Thank you for your help, fairy."

Luo Fanchen gripped the jade token tightly, his impression of Ming Ruoxue quite favorable.

He knew that Ming Ruoxue's trip was extremely risky. If he couldn't bring back Moxue and obtain evidence of Tuotian's overstepping of his bounds, Fairy Ruoxue would surely be punished, and it wouldn't be easy for her.

"Just call me Ruoxue."

Ming Ruoxue, her face veiled by a thin veil, danced gracefully. Her delicate hands formed hand seals, and dozens of giant cannons from her spirit ship locked onto the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators. Too lazy to waste any more words, she unleashed a burst of spiritual energy from her entire body and pointed an Ice Yuan Finger at Tuo Tian from afar.

Wherever the frost-infused energy passed, vegetation froze, its power far surpassing that of Liu Xia.

Tuo Tian snorted softly, not daring to be careless. The Weak Water Spirit Qi within his body swirled, with viscous water ripples that transformed into a fine drizzle that clashed with Ming Ruoxue.

Without hesitation, Luo Fanchen enveloped his body with his Yi Wood True Essence and plummeted from the sky like a meteor.

"This person is not a disciple of my Luoshen Pavilion. How dare he trespass on the mountain gate! Detain him!"

A murderous glint flashed in Tuo Tian's eyes. He was quite surprised and ordered the Foundation Establishment cultivators to attack. However, Ming Ruoxue took the lead, forming the Hai Water Seal with her hands, and more than twenty spirit puppets shot out from the giant ship.

"Enforcement at Duan Nian Peak: All irrelevant personnel must retreat."

The spirit puppet's body is like jade, with perfect spiritual energy. It is forged from second-tier black iron using the spiritual liquid of the Luo River. It is the official law enforcement puppet of the Luo Shen Pavilion's steward office, and all of them have power no weaker than a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The radiance of the soul tablets illuminated the sky, and the blank-faced spirit puppets gradually began to shimmer with spiritual light. Through the authority of the Golden Core cultivators, they were successfully activated and entered law enforcement mode, each landing beside a Foundation Establishment cultivator to monitor them.

The Golden Core cultivators are renowned, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators are basically family cultivators of the Tuo family or disciples of affiliated sects.

They certainly dared not get involved in the internal struggles of the Luoshen Pavilion, so they went along with it and confronted the spirit puppet.

"Junior sister, you're really willing to go to great lengths."

Tuo Tian sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. He was using Tuo Yuanxi's name to summon the spirit puppet to enforce the law. If he couldn't get solid evidence of overstepping his bounds, Ming Ruoxue would have no chance of winning the chief position anymore, and would be confined to her quarters for at least five years.

Unexpectedly, this junior sister Leng values ​​this boy so much that she is even willing to take risks. It's a pleasant surprise.

"Noisy."

Ming Ruoxue's eyes were indifferent, her fingers constantly forming hand seals. Frosty mist and spiritual energy were icy cold, and exquisite techniques emerged one after another. In a short while, she had exchanged hundreds of blows with Tuo Tian. A thin layer of frost gradually formed on Tuo Tian's skin, and the pressure increased exponentially.

“Interesting. Junior sister is so stubborn. I’ll gladly accept your third place.”

Tuo Tian was not annoyed and switched to a defensive stance, engaging Ming Ruoxue in a prolonged struggle.

After consuming the essence of the sword pill, Ling Moxue became his sword slave, thus negating the crime of coercion. As for Luo Fanchen, a mere seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, what trouble could he possibly cause? Even though the Foundation Establishment cultivator was restrained, just over a hundred female sword servants were enough to utterly destroy him.

Luo Fanchen was merely a rogue cultivator, without any affiliation with the Luo Shen Pavilion; his death would have been in vain.

After exchanging a hundred blows, Tuo Tian glanced down at the ground, intending to see Luo Fanchen's miserable state. What he saw shocked him: in a short while, the stone steps were covered with a dense mass of Tuo family disciples lying haphazardly.

They were all Qi Refining cultivators from collateral branches of the Tuo family, and in terms of combat strength, they were close to the disciples of affiliated sects.

"what happened?"

Tuo Tian's pupils dilated slightly. More than thirty disciples had lost their fighting ability, and all of them were seriously injured, groaning and howling incessantly.

Then he saw the lowly rogue cultivator in his eyes beating the Tuo family's elite like dead dogs.

"What an exquisite escape technique."

"Sword energy taking shape? Are you kidding me?"

On the steps of the Gengjin Mountain Range, Luo Fanchen strolled leisurely. Dozens of cultivators gathered around him, unleashing a dense barrage of spells: scorching fireballs, sharp earth spikes, rapidly shooting water blades, and endless wooden cages, saturating his attack to overwhelm him.

The Yi Wood imprint on his chest burned painfully. Before the disciples made their moves, he sensed the malice and anticipated whether to neutralize or dodge it. Several times, he narrowly escaped the fireballs while simultaneously forming a sword finger.

The sword energy solidified, and the three-part Yuan Qi sword, alternating between the real and the illusory, was extremely sharp. Those whose cultivation was weaker than others were almost severely injured in a single exchange.

Luo Fanchen appeared to be in grave danger, but in reality, he defeated ten people in a row and advanced a hundred meters without even getting a stain on the hem of his clothes, displaying a carefree and composed demeanor.

"Lord chicken and dog."

With a flick of his finger, Luo Fanchen unleashed a sword intent imbued with the true essence of the Yi Wood, swift as the wind, its movements a mix of illusion and reality, making it impossible to defend against. The quality of the true essence was overwhelming, easily breaking through the protective true essence of Qi Refining disciples and ordinary magical artifacts.

In an instant, there were screams and flying flesh and bone fragments everywhere.

"Form ranks! This beast is ferocious and cannot be defeated by force. Quickly form ranks with me!"

The cultivators were shocked. In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they had suffered heavy losses. They hurriedly occupied the central palace, forming a Bagua formation, and drew sharp Geng metal energy from the earth veins to form an array. Just as they were about to kill Luo Fanchen, they saw his right eye glowing with green light.

“Kui Mu”.

Luo Fanchen's Wood True Essence erupted, overflowing through the Spirit Seed and Spirit Leaves. As his right eye burned, the surrounding Wood-attribute spiritual power resonated. With a distant glance, the main person's meridians were immediately overflowing with Wood-attribute spiritual power, causing him severe pain in his internal organs and serious injury to his meridians.

"Ah! My meridians, ah—what kind of sorcery is this?"

The leading disciple of the Tuo family huddled on the ground, groaning incessantly. Luo Fanchen's attacks were extremely heavy; every strike he made resulted in severe injuries. Most of the disciples suffered great damage to their meridians, and if they were not careful in their recuperation, they would lose all their cultivation.

Kui Mu is a secret technique of the Daoist scriptures, which is impossible for a mere Qi Refining cultivator to defend against. They tried to re-form the array, but whenever someone occupied the central palace, their meridians would be immediately burst by the wood-attribute spiritual power. Not only were they unable to form the array for a long time, but Luo Fanchen took advantage of the situation and severely injured several people again.

"The formation cannot be formed." The disciples of the Tuo family were terrified and wanted to retreat, so they dared not step forward to stop them.

They stood in front of Luo Fanchen, tensely confronting him. Every time Luo Fanchen took a step forward, they would retreat several steps in fright.

From a distance, it looked as if Luo Fanchen was chasing after dozens of Tuo family disciples.

"This beast's fighting skills are so superb, its true essence is incredibly profound, and its sword energy far surpasses that of other cultivators of the same level. Why is it still just a rogue cultivator?"

High in the air, Tuo Tian's face was gloomy, and evil fire rose in his eyes, yet he still couldn't help but offer praise.

He could tell that Luo Fanchen had not yet used his full strength, and that his true combat power was even greater than his own when he was at the Qi Refining stage. If he were to let Luo Fanchen continue his rampage, the elite of the Tuo family's collateral branches would likely be wiped out.

"Have the sword slaves form an array to surround and kill this fiend."

"My lord, the sword slave is someone we have painstakingly trained and is extremely precious."

Immediately, a Foundation Establishment elder came to dissuade them. Among the seven lineages, each Sword Slave candidate was a genius who had been carefully taught by famous teachers and had consumed a lot of rare and precious materials. Their cultivation techniques, resources, and guidance were no less than those of the Qi Refining disciples of the Luo Shen Pavilion.

Each of them is a prodigy, and losing any one of them would be enough to make those in charge feel the pain.

"Stop your noise! ​​If you won't let the sword slave go first, are you willing to capture this scoundrel yourself?"

Tuo Tian angrily rebuked, and taking advantage of the moment, Ming Ruoxue unleashed several spells, freezing Tuo Tian so much that he shivered and cursed incessantly. The Foundation Establishment elder immediately slunk away and began issuing orders.

"roll--"

Luo Fanchen's sword energy was like a dragon, completely defeating the Tuo family disciple in front of him. He then lightly covered his right eye, tears streaming down his face in excruciating pain.

After reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, the cost of using Kui Mu was slightly reduced, but the backlash and consumption from continuous release were still extremely high. After traveling one-third of the distance, he had already consumed 70% of his true essence.

"Luo Qianqiu is right. I still rely too much on the Soul Banner."

Luo Fanchen sighed self-deprecatingly. He gently stroked the Yi Wood imprint on his chest with his fingertips. It still contained the three divine abilities bestowed by Luo Qianqiu. If he could leave smoothly this time, he would still have to take the time to study them carefully and enrich his methods.

He used his escape light to continue traveling towards the location of Mo Xue that he sensed.

"Wait for me, Mo Xue, I'll bring you back right away."

Luo Fanchen was panting heavily when he suddenly heard a dense whistling sound in his ears, and the sharp sword intent made his skin sting.

The attack was so fast that it was difficult to judge through perception. In the past, he could only weaken the attack by exchanging sword energy and then withstand it with his protective true essence. Now, through the Yi Wood imprint, he could accurately sense the direction of the attack and thus judge the landing point to dodge.

"Gengjin Green-Edged Sword—"

Hundreds of golden sword energies rained down continuously, splitting the stone steps beneath their feet in two like tofu, leaving clean, smooth cuts.

"You rascal, you're really something."

"They actually managed to evade our superior techniques."

Dozens of sword lights hummed and mingled with a woman's clear and playful laughter as they approached from afar. Luo Fanchen barely managed to dodge, and looking into the distance, he saw dozens of beautiful figures in light blue robes standing with swords in the mist not far away.

Their sword intent was sharp, their robes were all of the highest grade, and their cultivation was mostly around the seventh level of Qi Refining. They all had sword energy with them, but except for the leader, none of them had fully formed it, which can be said to be extremely high level.

Luo Fanchen attempted to break the formation with Kui Mu, but the gathered wood spirit power was unusually disrupted by the female cultivators' sword formation, unable to stop them from forming a sword killing formation. Instantly, a dense, eerie net of swords swept towards him.

"The sword energy has taken shape; it has some skill."

"Unfortunately, they have just fought a long battle and are outnumbered. How could they be a match for us?"

More than ten female cultivators surrounded him, their swords brimming with killing intent. In an instant, Luo Fanchen felt a slight stinging pain in his vital points. His evasive maneuvers using the Cloud Escape technique were no longer enough to deal with the saturation of killing swords from the female cultivators.

"We defeated the enemy with one move; that's how we won."

Dozens of swords were within arm's reach of Luo Fanchen's vitals. The female cultivators were smug. They had been watching the battle for a long time, deliberately waiting for Luo Fanchen to exhaust his true energy and strength before entering the fray. At the same time, they prepared a sword formation to counter the unpredictable wood-attribute secret technique.

"roll--"

Amidst the perilous situation, Luo Fanchen shouted sharply.

His dantian was burning unbearably, and his abundant true energy flowed out from his dantian, spreading through the six meridians and acupoints.

The true essence of Yi Wood within the body surged like a dragon. The abundant true essence underwent a great circulation, entering the lungs and internal organs for a second tempering, gradually condensing from a misty state into a liquid, and then bursting forth from the skin.

The true essence of Yi Wood solidified into two giant blades, each over three zhang long, with unpredictable sharpness.

"True essence condensing into form?"

The female cultivators were shocked. They barely managed to defend with their superior-grade magic swords, but were directly knocked out of their hands by the powerful Yi Wood True Essence. They retreated hastily, but could not avoid the fiery speed at which the True Essence was gathering. Blood splattered everywhere, and a hideous wound was slashed into their abdomen and chest.

"what!"

Screams rose and fell as the beautiful Qingmei Fairy plummeted from the sky like a butterfly with broken wings.

They had no warning of danger from Luo Fanchen and took full damage. Their protective true essence was like paper under the solidified Yi Wood true essence. They were either disemboweled with their abdomens and intestines overflowing, or their chests were cleaved open and they were on the verge of death.

"He has inexhaustible true energy? Is he some kind of monster?"

The remaining female cultivators were too shocked to make a move.

Without any techniques or skills, it simply uses its strength to throw bricks. Even many cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining can hardly do this with their true essence condensed into form. Once it is used, even ordinary high-grade magic weapons can hardly stop it.

Moreover, Luo Fanchen's true essence far surpasses that of others of the same level. The true essence condensation he unleashes is probably even more powerful than a top-grade technique. If he were to suddenly be struck, he would be severely injured, except for those who are body cultivators.

"Get out of my way, or I won't show any mercy."

Luo Fanchen was concerned about Mo Xue and forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart. His eyes were cold, and he was unwilling to get entangled with these female cultivators any longer.

The true essence he had consumed in condensing his true essence was replenished, and now he could perfectly control the use and duration of overflowing true essence. The overflowing state could almost be considered one of his ordinary techniques.

As for side effects, just take a few Luohe Pills.

"Stop this scoundrel!"

The leading female cultivator trembled all over, trying to remain calm and attempting to form an array to block the attack. However, she saw her fellow disciples panting heavily, their sword-wielding hands shaking, and their eyes filled with tears. She hesitated to make a move.

They were willing to sacrifice themselves as slaves, finally managing to rise above their circumstances. Even if they couldn't become disciples of the Daoist sect, they could still become trusted cultivators of the Tuo family, with a bright future ahead. Who would want to die at the hands of this killing star?

Upon seeing this, the leading female cultivator hesitated, intending to reprimand him, but in the end, she said nothing. She lowered her head, dropped her sword, and dared not resist any longer, letting Luo Fanchen brush past her.

"Your temperament is not suited to sword practice."

Luo Fanchen's heart was filled with murderous intent. He casually snatched the sword from the leading female cultivator, swung it a couple of times and found it comfortable, then passed through the group of female cultivators and continued flying towards the heart of the Gengjin Mountains.

After he left, the female cultivators felt as if they had been granted a pardon. Their delicate bodies went limp like mud, and they gasped for breath as if they were drowning people who had been given a second chance at life.

They survived.

After severely injuring the female cultivator, Luo Fanchen proceeded without hindrance. In the sky above, Tuo Tian's face was ashen, filled with disbelief.

What terrifying combat power! Even the legendary cultivators of the Xuanmen, during their Qi Refining stage, were no more than this.

This True Essence Body is undoubtedly an excellent choice. Its swordsmanship talent surpasses that of the female cultivators taken in by the Tuo family, and its combat intuition is terrifyingly astonishing. It can easily dodge even sword light attacks from outside its perception range.

He had never seen such a powerful Qi Refining cultivator before.
"You wicked creature, how dare you devour your master?"

In the heart of the Gengjin Mountains, Camel Bee's old face was gloomy. Inside the small house in front of him, the stench of blood was overwhelming. There were piles of dismembered limbs everywhere, and the blood was up to his feet. On the dismembered limbs and broken bodies, Mo Xue's almond eyes were red, and her sword was stained with blood.

Her long, black hair moved without wind, and the dark, mysterious light formed from her killing intent was almost tangible.

The camel hummed softly, and the dragon-headed cane fell to the ground. The overwhelming spiritual pressure immediately pressed down on Mo Xue, making it impossible for her to lift her head. Her pretty face was contorted in pain, her thin shoulders trembled violently, and her bones seemed to be groaning.

This ruthless killer took advantage of the turmoil at the mountain gate to single-handedly kill several guarding disciples.

If she hadn't returned in time, he might have escaped by sheer luck.

"Drink this soup, and we will forgive and forget what happened before."

"Kill me if you dare!"

Mo Xue's almond-shaped eyes were filled with resentment, and her lips were bitten until they formed a glaring scarlet color.

Her sword intent surged, but it was like a dusty sword pressed down by a mountain, unable to resist even the slightest bit.

"Kill you? Heh, dream on. Drink this soup and you'll know its wonders."

Camel Bee originally intended to leave this spirited horse for Young Master Camel Sky to prepare himself, since the young master had a particular fondness for it. However, the situation had changed, and there was no time to hesitate any longer.

With a light tap of her withered fingertips, Mo Xue was immediately forced to kneel on the ground, unable to move even a single finger.

"From now on, you are one of the Tuo family members, and this old servant will have to call you Miss."

Camel's smile was sinister. His rough, old hands gripped Mo Xue's chin, forcefully pried open her lips, and held a bowl of essence blood sword pills, about to feed her.

Mo Xue's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, and her desperate resistance with sword intent was to no avail.

"No, please."

Her pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of unease and fear filled her Dao heart. Faced with immense power and terror, she no longer had the courage to resist. She seemed to have returned to the old house, curling up into a trembling wild girl.

"I don't want to leave Master Luo, please!"

Even knowing that pleading was futile, Mo Xue still sobbed and pleaded, a gloom of despair looming over her heart.

"Hehe, what Master Luo? After drinking this soup, only Master Tuo will survive."

The camel sneered. Mo Xue watched helplessly as the foul-smelling blood soup drew closer and closer. Her heart sank, and she was about to unleash her sword intent to perish together with the blood soup.

But then the rim of the bowl trembled slightly, and it seemed as if countless tiny green specks of light were gathering inside the bowl.

"Creak, snap—"

The jade bowl was visibly covered with cracks before it shattered from the inside. Camel Bee was shocked. She had used a concealment technique to evade the spirit puppet's search, so she naturally hadn't released her divine sense to sense the [Kui Mu] technique. It was too late.

She wanted to save the blood that was splattering everywhere, but her essence blood had already been contaminated by the wood elemental energy it was filled with.

"How dare you! Who is it?!"

The old wasp's face twisted in rage as it screamed and roared, only to be met with an invisible finger strike.

She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, immediately sensing that she was locked on. Her skin was covered in frost, and her spiritual energy gradually dissipated and stagnates. She fell from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the early stage, and finally stopped at the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

"Master Luo?"

Amidst the dazzling light, Mo Xue's usually dull face suddenly burst forth with radiance, her almond-shaped eyes brimming with tears, and her lips murmuring incessantly.

Overwhelmed with intense joy, she initially thought it was a dream. Only after confirming Luo Ye's presence several times did she begin to sob pitifully, looking at him with pleading eyes, wishing she could immediately throw herself into his arms.

"I've found you, Mo Xue."

Luo Fanchen burst through the door, his body radiating a pale green true essence, his Daoist robe stained with blood, and his aura chilling.

His ferocious expression gradually softened, turning into an apologetic smile. He held his sword, panting heavily, his figure appearing somewhat frail.

In Mo Xue's eyes, however, he was tall and imposing. Just by looking at him from afar, her fearful heart was filled with a strong sense of security, and her dark almond eyes gradually regained their luster, reflecting Luo Fanchen's figure.

Master Luo really came to save her!

She crossed her arms over her chest as if to protect herself, and the obsessive dependence in her voice, expressed through her soft murmurs, was almost tangible.

"Master Luo, I miss you so much."
