Chapter 43: The Northern Dark House

  Stone Forest

  Under the scorching sun, her back, as smooth and lustrous as jade, leaned against an oval stone, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if lost in thought.

  By her side stood a plain-looking Mohist priest with pockmarks all over his face, his eyes narrowed as if deep in thought.

  Heavy footsteps, slightly disheveled, gradually came from afar.

  Her long eyelashes fluttered open, and she gazed coldly at Strongson, who was rushing over quickly. "What's the hurry?" she scolded.

  "Found them!" Johnson growled: "Two women, according to Darkstar's message, they're the targets!"

  Her eyes suddenly lit up, and her expression turned icy cold. "Is that little brat here?"

  "It seems like he's not here..." Johnson paused for a moment, calmly saying: "As long as we catch those two women, we'll definitely know where that kid is hiding."

  "Has the news reached Third Uncle?"

  "A dark star messenger has passed."

  "In which direction?" Mo Yan's slender figure stood up straight, slowly stretching her muscles and bones, "Far from us? Or far from San Shu and the others?"

  "A little further away from our side, if nothing unexpected happens, Third Master and his group should be arriving soon." Strongson replied.

  "Oh, then there's no need to rush." Mo Yan furrowed his brow and said to the Mo family servant with a pockmarked face beside him: "Uncle Li, shall we go over?"

  "We've been waiting for the person who hasn't shown up yet, no need to rush." Li Han shook his head and smiled: "There are three masters and Dark Ming's people taking care of that side, there won't be any problems. This pass is also very important, we'd better continue to guard it, our goal is that little guy, what if he slips away from this pass, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

  "Me too." Mo Yan Yu nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.

  ……

  "Waaaah! Waaaah!"

  Next to a rock shaped like a python, Mu Yu took out a silver ox horn and suddenly blew it.

  The sound of the horn spreads out like a wave, with an extremely wide range.

  The figures hidden in the stone caves of Shilin, one by one, emerged from the caves after hearing the horn sound and quickly gathered towards the direction of Muyu Butterfly.

  "Lan sister, don't worry anymore, someone will come to pick us up soon." Mu Yu Die smiled lightly, "Once we're here, we'll really be safe and won't have to worry about those shady people again."

  "I hope so." Diya Lan forced a smile, still unable to put down Shi Yan, and sighed: "I hope he's okay..."

  One after another, figures suddenly flashed out from a distance. The leader was none other than the Dark Moon Envoy of the Netherworld, and by his side were Mo Qingyan and Barnard, as well as several other Mo clan warriors and the Dark Star Envoy of the Netherworld.

  "Miss Mu, we meet again." Mingyue's cold gaze swept over Muyutie's body like a venomous snake, her voice icy as she said, "You really can run, and you've actually come here. Unfortunately, you still haven't entered the Merchant Alliance, so I'll have to take you back with me after all."

  "Oh? Really?" Mu Yutian smiled calmly, without a hint of tension.

  Mingyue furrowed her brow, and in her heart, she felt that something was a bit strange. This time's Mu Yu Die was too calm, greatly different from usual.

  "What about that little kid who was with you guys?"

  Mo Chao walked over, glanced at the two women and said bluntly: "Tell me where that little brat is, otherwise I'll kill her first."

  Mo Chao's song points to Di Ya Lan.

  "She's mine!" Barnard glared fiercely at Mo Chao Ge, his figure flashing like lightning as he swiftly swept to Di Ya Lan's side, rudely reaching out to grab her.

  "Right!"

  A loud and clear piano sound suddenly rang out, the piano sound was like a sharp blade, fiercely piercing someone's nerves.

  Barnard's body shook, a pained expression suddenly flashing across his face, and he hastily retreated a step, staring at Mu Yu Die with a shocked expression.

  Mu Yu Xiang held the guqin in her hand and sat down on the ground, with a hint of coldness at the corner of her mouth. She gazed at Barnard with an icy stare and said, "Do you still want to try?"

  Barnard's brain was as if pricked by a steel needle, now his head was splitting, hearing her say that, Barnard's face was overcast, but he didn't dare to step forward immediately.

  "It's impossible!"

  Mingyue's face changed color, and for the first time, a look of panic appeared in his eyes. "It's only been a few months, your Sound Soul hasn't recovered that quickly!"

  She paused for a moment, and Mingyue seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, she coldly laughed and said: "I understand now, you're forcing the broken meridians to move, this is a path to self-destruction!"

  "Oh?" Mu Yuxiao's expression was cold and indifferent, and he said lightly: "You can come and try, I know you have the cultivation of the Hundred Calamities Realm, but before entering the Dark Forest, I used my Sound Soul to kill a Mingyue Envoy with the same cultivation as yours. You should still remember, right?"

  As soon as this was said, not only did Mingyue hesitate, but even Barnard and Mo Chao Ge looked slightly startled, gazing at her with some disbelief.

  " Envoy? This... is it true?" Mo Zhongge's mouth corner was slightly dry, and he took a slight step back, gesturing to the Mo family warriors not to be impulsive.

  "If her Sound Blade Soul was in its prime, it might have had that ability... but now? I don't believe it!" Mingyue snorted.

  "Haha, envoy, it's up to your abilities now." Mo Chao Ge retreated a few steps back, walking to the center of the Mo family warriors, making it clear that he wouldn't make the first move.

  "Whoever comes first will die first." Mu Yudie said coldly and immediately lowered her head, no longer responding.

  Diya stood beside her, with a vigilant expression, not daring to relax.

  The situation suddenly came to a stalemate.

  The Mingyue messenger was suspicious, but did not dare to act rashly.

  Barnard and Mo Chao Ge suddenly became honest after knowing that Mu Yu Die had the ability to kill a hundred high-ranking masters, each using their eyes to glance at Ming Yue Shi, as if urging him to take action and test Mu Yu Die's true situation.

  Just then, figures emerged from the rocks in all directions.

  A tall figure suddenly appeared beside Mu Yu Die and asked in a low voice, "Miss Mu, are you alright?"

  So many people in the field, including Mu Yuexi, Mo Qiuge and Banaid, who had experienced a hundred tribulations, did not see how he appeared beside Muyue Die.

  That person seemed like a ghost, suddenly appearing beside Mu Yu Die without any trace.

  "Instant Shift of Martial Soul! North Ming Family!"

  Mo Chao's song changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  "Who was I at that time, it turned out to be a Mo family member." The handsome young man who appeared beside Mu Yuxian's side had an arrogant expression and coldly said: "What? Want to fight with our Beiming family?"

  "I don't dare."

  Mo Chao took a deep breath and immediately calmed down, smiling awkwardly at the young man: "So it's Third Young Master who has arrived. I said Miss Mu was so fearless. Third Young Master, I didn't know Miss Mu was under your Northern Ming family's protection. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come over either. Please forgive me, Third Young Master..."

  "Beiqing Ce waved his hand and said, 'This matter has nothing to do with the Mohist School. Take your people and leave quickly. I will deal with the Dark Ming people myself, so don't interfere.'"

  As he spoke, one by one, warriors dressed in the North Ming family's martial attire appeared.

  Among them, two old men, one fat and one thin, quietly stood beside him, their cold eyes fixed on Mo Chao Ge and Ming Yue Shi.

  "Alright, I'm leaving." Mo Zhao Ge had a harmonious smile on his face, and without saying another word, he really did turn around and leave.

  Those Mo family warriors found that the newcomer was actually Bei Ming's strategist, and they all suddenly became honest and followed Mo Chao Ge quietly with their heads down.

  As for Barnard, seeing Mo Chao's song wanting to leave, he didn't dare stay long either. He took a step back and was about to hide into the stone forest.

  "Please, Third Young Master, help me kill this person." Mu Yu Die's fingers lightly plucked the strings of her zither.

  "Right!"

  The sound of the qin rises again.

  Barnard's body suddenly shook, his footsteps stumbled, and he almost fell over, then he hastily dodged behind a rock and fled desperately.

  "It's cloudy and gloomy, trouble is coming." Beiming Ce said lightly.

  The thin old man standing behind him suddenly darted out like a ghost and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

  Three seconds later, a blood-curdling scream echoed from the stone forest.

  Five seconds later, the thin old man called Yin Lao by Beiming Strategy flew back like a ghostly shadow and stood beside Beiming Strategy again without saying another word.
