?
"Shi jie, it's me." Mo Qingchen smiled slightly and said, anyway, as soon as he spoke, she could hear his voice, there was no need to hide, besides, she wasn't noble enough to do good deeds without leaving a name.
The woman was taken aback for a moment, then her expression relaxed: "I really didn't expect it to be you who saved me, thank you."
Mo Qingchen smiled and said: "Sister is being polite, it's just a small effort."
The woman smiled wryly and said: "A trivial effort? Hehe, in any case, the friendship between you two, I, Mo Li, will remember it in my heart. Eh, where is this place?"
The female cultivator was called Mo Yu Luo, a rather unusual name. Mo Qingchen thought to himself and said aloud, "This is our hiding place, we're lucky those other cultivators didn't find us, just wait a bit longer and we can leave the valley."
The woman finally let out a sigh of relief and tried to sit up but let out a cry of pain.
Duan Qingge hastily supported her and said: "Mo Shijie, your injuries are quite severe, it's best not to move around, when we get out the leader of our sect will surely have a way."
Mo Lian nodded slightly and swept her gaze over the two women's faces, finally settling on Mo Qingchen's face as she asked, "May I ask how to address you two fellow sisters?"
When someone asks like this, they're planning on getting along with you.
Mo Qingchen and Duan Qingge exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat delighted. Although saving people was just an afterthought, the two of them didn't take advantage of the situation, which was already quite benevolent. In the Yao Guang Sect, they were both unattached and free-floating, so being able to interact with an elite disciple was naturally not bad.
"Little sister's name is Mo Qingchen, this senior sister is called Duan Qingge, we are all disciples of Qingmu Peak."
"Mo Qingchen, Duan Qingge? I seem to have heard of it." Mo Tiao furrowed his brow, and then his eyes lit up, "Right, once when I went to Qingmu Peak on business, I unintentionally overheard a few miscellaneous disciples discussing something about 'Qingqing Double Fairies'. Could it be you two?"
"It's probably us, those people who spread rumors when they have nothing better to do."
Mo Lian smiled and thought to herself that at the time, she had just smiled it off. She also thought that two female cultivators who were disciples of miscellaneous chores being given such messy titles must be relying on their good looks and weren't people who knew their place. She didn't even bother to look down on them and threw the thought to the back of her mind. Now, it seemed she was wrong. Status doesn't represent everything.
"I'm at Ruoshui Peak. If two of your junior sisters happen to go there on business, be sure to come and sit with me." Mo Li said.
The three of them exchanged names and places of origin, and their relationship became slightly closer. However, Mo Lian had been injured and needed to stay alert for any external movements at all times, so they didn't say much more. Instead, each of them closed their eyes and began to meditate.
At this moment, the three people felt a spiritual power fluctuation coming from the air. Mo Qingchen and Duan Qingge hurriedly grabbed Mo Lianluo, and then felt their eyes go dark. When they opened their eyes again, they had already arrived outside the valley.
Mo Qingchen looked around and found that from time to time, monks would suddenly appear out of thin air. Some fell to the ground like dumplings, while others seemed to be in the midst of a battle. However, as soon as they caught sight of the valley outside, they all quieted down.
The leaders of various factions waiting outside led their followers over and took stock of their disciples.
The leader of the Yao Guang Sect, Fu Ming Zhen Ren, took a look at the disciples who had returned from this trial and found that their numbers were about the same as in previous years. He put his mind at ease. For a prestigious sect like theirs, a loss of around 30-40% of their disciples was acceptable, as long as there weren't any major fluctuations.
Many small sects have only a handful of people coming out, and some small families don't even see anyone coming out.
Seeing the two female cultivators supporting Mo Yu, Fu Ming's expression tightened. Mo Yu was actually injured. Thinking of her protective master and even more protective master ancestor, Fu Ming felt a void in his heart. He hastily walked over to Mo Qingchen and the others and asked, "How badly is Mo Yu injured?"
No one asked how they were injured, the monks of Worry Valley slaughtered each other, it was a tacit understanding from the start, although cruel, but also a rare opportunity for training, if even there can't come out, then no matter how talented the disciple is, there's nothing to regret.
It was unexpected that Yu Xue's beloved disciple was also injured, while the two low-level cultivator girls next to her were unscathed. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Mo Qingchen and the other person.
At the sweep of Jingdan period cultivator, Mo Qingchen only felt an invisible oppressive feeling coming over him. He barely managed to steady himself and said: "According to Shifu's words, Mo Shijie was injured internally."
"Master Uncle, I'm fine." Mo Tiao Luo said slowly after being transmitted out of the valley, as his body had injuries and he felt a bit uncomfortable.
Although they are both disciples of the Refining Qi stage, because Mo Lian's master is a Consolidating Dan stage cultivator, she has the qualifications to address other Consolidating Dan stage cultivators as "Shu Shu" (Uncle Master), while others normally address them as "Shi Gong" (Respected Master).
Mo Qingchen's face turned red with sweat, and upon reflection, calling herself Mo Lianluo's shifu (master) didn't seem quite right.
Fu Ming Zhen Ren reached out to examine Mo Liu's condition, his expression becoming increasingly solemn. After a long while, he took out a dan medicine the size of a pigeon egg and fed it to her. He then turned to Wu Shi Shu, who always had a warm smile on his face, and said: "Wu Shi Shu, you come and take care of Mo Ya for a bit."
"Yes, Master." The Wu surname scholar walked over and took a look at Mo Qingchen and the others before taking Mu Ruo away.
Fu Ming Zhen Ren said: "Ye Shizhong, Wang Shizhong, you few people are in charge of registering the harvests of these disciples."
"Yes." The other several foundation period monks said.
Then, Fu Ming Zhenren turned around and looked at Mo Qingchen and the other person, saying: "You two are not bad, there will be a reward later, go line up to register now."
"Thank you, Master Ancestor." Mo Qingchen and Duan Qingge said in unison.
Those monks who escaped from the secret realm of death lined up in a long queue as instructed.
Duan Qingge lifted her foot and walked towards a team at will, but was pulled by Mo Qingchen to another team.
Seeing Duan Qing's inquiring gaze, Mo Qingchen chuckled and said, "There are fewer people on this side."
Duan Qing looked at the team she was in and then looked back at the previous one, but no matter what, she couldn't help feeling that there were fewer people on this side, her eyes becoming even more suspicious.
Mo Qingchen pretended not to see and stared straight ahead.
It's rare to see Mo Qingchen like this, Duan Qingge was even more puzzled, and looked at the team again, the foundation-building cultivator at the front had an icy expression, quickly recording something, suddenly enlightened and transmitted: "Qingchen Shimei, aren't you afraid of Ye Shu?"
"What's wrong, Master Ye?" Mo Qingchen also transmitted his voice.
"Uh-huh, it's that person in front of the team I was going to line up for earlier. Other book friends are watching normally."
"What's wrong with him? I'm afraid he'll make a big deal out of it." Mo Qingchen flatly denied, his face unchanged, but his heart was somewhat uneasy.
After a while, Mo Qingchen suddenly woke up and said: "Ah, you mean that person is the famous Ye Shifu?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but sneak a peek at him, thinking to herself that if other female cultivators knew she had seen Ye Shifu taking a bath, wouldn't they be so jealous that they would tear her apart?
Suddenly, countless scenes of female cultivators punching and kicking her appeared before her eyes, silently warning herself to stay away from danger, stay away from Ye Shifu.
Duan Qingge looked at Mo Qingchen's somewhat stunned expression and chuckled: "Qingchen Shimei, I'm afraid the only female cultivator in the entire Yao Guang Sect who doesn't know is you. I'm really curious, it's said that other female cultivators would rush to throw themselves at Ye Shishu, but why do you avoid him as if your life depends on it?"
Mo Qingchen glared at her and said, "Same to you."
Suddenly, it seemed that Ye Shifu had glanced over here, as if he could hear their whispers. Mo Qingchen broke out in a cold sweat and changed the subject: "Qing Ge Shijie, why are other sects and families also lining up here?"
"You haven't seen those cultivators lining up at the Yao Guang Sect, Tai Xu Men, He Huan Zong, Yu Gui Zong and Ming Fu Zong, have you? They are all small sects and families affiliated with these major sects. Many of them, even if they obtained the Double Leaf Golden Orchid, their own sect can't refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, so the major sects set a rule: every cultivator who comes out alive from You Le Valley, as long as they obtain the Double Leaf Golden Orchid or other heavenly treasures that can be exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill, can register with the sect they rely on, hand over the items to the sect, and when they return, they can go and collect the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Mo Qingchen praised: "This consideration is indeed thorough, if the foundation-building pill was released on the spot, those cultivators may be intercepted and killed by malicious people on their way home."
Mo Qingchen was right, at that time the several major sects set down this rule, it was precisely to avoid even more slaughter, in the secret realm competing with each other is considered training for disciples, but also must be done in moderation, if there are too many losses then the foundation will be damaged.
"It's true, and more than that. When the time comes, our Yao Guang Sect's foundation-building disciples can also choose to build their foundations there, as long as they pay the appropriate amount of spiritual stones." Duan Qing Ge said.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of registering Mo Qingchen's team was a slow and steady person. At the beginning, several teams had similar numbers of people, but after a while, his team had the most people.
For this, Qing Ge teased Mo Qingchen a few more sentences, but Mo Qingchen was not in a hurry. Instead, he quietly looked towards the He Huan Zong's side, trying to find Liu Lingzhi's figure. Unfortunately, the He Huan Zong's team was relatively far away, and many cultivators blocked his view, so he didn't see the person he was looking for after half a day.
Why don't you go and look for her yourself after registration is over? But, but Lingzhi sister doesn't seem to want to acknowledge me, would it be inappropriate if I were to approach her rashly?
In the secret realm, Mo Qingchen, who was decisive and ruthless in his killings, was at a loss as to how to deal with these emotions.
Just as they were hesitating, a voice suddenly said: "You people come over here to register."
Mo Qingchen was stunned, this voice she could never forget, it was the voice of Ye Shifu, who had gnashed his teeth in hatred and would have killed her if he could back then.
Following the sound, that Ye Shifu's disciple over there had already registered, and at this moment he was looking towards her, pointing to the people in the back half of her team.
In the teasing gaze of Duan Qingge, Mo Qingchen had no choice but to follow the crowd and walk past, thinking for a moment before standing at the back.
Ye Shibo handled things efficiently, and as soon as he saw the queue, it shortened bit by bit until it was Mo Qingchen's turn.
Mo Qingchen couldn't help but hesitate, she really didn't want to face this person, not just because of that unpleasant first encounter, but also for a more important reason. In the past, whenever she got close to this person, she would involuntarily be attracted to him, and her body and mind would have very strange reactions. This was too weird, and it made her feel a little fearful.
"You're still not here, what are you wasting time on?" a cold voice came over.
