With a twinkle in its small eyes, it revealed a smiling expression. Its eyes seemed to be able to see through everything as it gazed at the jade pendant on Mo Zi Chen's chest. After absorbing the five-colored spiritual energy, it instantly transformed into a dazzling array of colors, extremely resplendent. Then, in an instant, it disappeared and reverted back to its original appearance as an unremarkable piece of jade stone.

  At this moment, the sword blade in front of the Taoist priest clashed with the man's large palm.

  Pong!

  In an instant, it was as if the heavens shook and the earth moved. Endless waves of energy surged forth, one after another, as the awakened spiritual energy burst into the air, shooting straight up to the ninth heaven. A deafening crash resounded, and the entire top of the stone cave was blown off. The massive impact force almost flattened the entire stone cave.

  The man let out a loud roar and his body was instantly blown away, countless boulders rolled down from all sides, this large stone cave, no longer had a single intact place.

  The man was shocked and flew out, his face's blood color flashed and disappeared, and immediately his complexion turned pale, a mouthful of fresh blood couldn't help but spurt out, dyeing that snow-white long gown a patch of bright red.

  His back heavily crashed into the stone wall behind him, with a loud crash, half of the stone wall was actually knocked down by him, instantly triggering a chain reaction, like a mountain collapse, the rocks extending behind him all fell down with a rumble.

  Right as they were mobilizing their troops and horses, in the midst of these vast mountains, Gao Hu and his Imperial Guards, who had been ceaselessly searching for Mo Zi Chen's trail, also heard the distant rumbling sounds. They all involuntarily reined in their horses and looked up.

  Suddenly, tens of miles away, a distant and inaccessible mountain suddenly collapsed. It was as if a rare and ancient earthquake had occurred.

  Those war horses, which had been trained for a long time, sensed the dangerous atmosphere coming from afar, raised their heads and let out a long whinny. The mane on their bodies was shaking constantly, if no one calmed them down, they would turn around and gallop away wildly.

  "Some people couldn't help but shout: 'This is an earthquake!'"

  Everyone's face turned pale at this moment, they had been deep in the mountains for days, if it was a rare earthquake that triggered landslides and mudslides, then none of the people present could escape.

  Gao Hu's injuries had mostly healed in the past few days, but his recent hectic schedule had left him even more gaunt and haggard. His cheekbones were prominent, and the flesh on his cheeks had sunken deeply into his face. Only his eyes seemed to gleam with an even sharper intensity than before. He bellowed loudly, "What's the panic about? If it really is an earthquake, will running do any good now?"

  Everyone under his prestige, did not dare to move rashly, forcibly reined in the horse, standing still and waiting. After a while, it was found that the distant smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and only that mountain range collapsed, but this side was completely calm, obviously not an earthquake.

  But the crowd did not become more at ease, instead they became even more frightened. If it wasn't an earthquake, then what kind of power could cause such heavenly wrath?

  Gao Hu's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Let's go take a look and see what happened!"

  He gave a loud order, and everyone dared not disobey. More than a thousand imperial guards urged their war horses to gallop with all their might.

  In the originally serene and peaceful large stone cave, it had now become extremely chaotic, with huge boulders as big as millstones flying about everywhere. However, what was strange was that Mo Zi Chen, standing still in her original position, had her eyes lightly closed, her sleeves fluttering as if she were a fairy descending to the mortal world. The surrounding rocks flew about but automatically avoided her.

  The man was blown away, spitting out blood and pale-faced, but he still forced himself to stand up, took out a bottle of elixir from his bosom, stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp, and then flew up again, wanting to charge forward once more.

  But around the Taoist, a colorful cloud of gas had already risen on its own, enveloping his entire body, and the sword had also returned to its scabbard. From his body, an aura of dominance that ruled the world was emitted, and the purple toad sensed this breath, prostrating itself on the ground, bowing to the Taoist.

  The man let out a long sigh: "A step too late, what a pity!"

  The Taoist's face seemed to reveal a hint of a smile, his gaze swept across Mo Ziyu's body, and then his figure began to slowly rise upwards.

  At this time, Mo Zi Chen also opened his eyes.

  After she woke up from that chaotic state, everything around her felt incredibly clear, only her body couldn't move yet. But at this moment, she found that her own body seemed to belong to herself again. Everything before was just a dream.

  At this time, she saw that under the Taoist's feet, a small yellow wooden box was being trampled. On it were also carved a pile of strange and peculiar patterns.

  The man saw the box and his eyes lit up instantly. Seeing Mo Zichen standing opposite the Taoist, he shouted: "Get that box!"

  Mo Zi Chen only then discovered that there was actually another person outside. Her gaze swept across this person, thinking to herself: He looks quite handsome. It's just that his face is a bit too cold.

  The man's voice was icy, with an undisguised commanding tone. Mo Zi Chen hummed a sound in her heart, but it seemed that she also felt that following his words wouldn't do her any harm.

  The man saw her and didn't act immediately, humming a sound, his body moved again, both palms swung up at the same time, in the center of his palms, two silver lights flashed, Mo Zi Chen subconsciously raised his head to look, on top of his head it seemed like two sharp flashes suddenly appeared, then two bolts of lightning came straight down from above, heavily striking that cluster of five-colored cloud light.

  But the mass of cloud light did not move at all, and the man let out a muffled hum, his body was blown away again, and a mouthful of blood spurted out once more, seemingly unable to get up for the time being.

  Mo Zi Chen couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, this person is really quite pitiful!

  She didn't react until then, and without thinking, she rushed over to grab that box.

  At this time, the Taoist's body shape had risen upwards and was about to leave the stone cave. The box also rose with him, and between them, it seemed as if there was an invisible connection.

  Mo Zi Chen stretched out her hand to grab it, but found that the wooden box was as heavy as a thousand pounds. She held it tightly with both hands, and her body involuntarily rose upwards.

  The man was stunned for a moment: "Actually, he's just an ordinary person!"

  Mo Zi Chen heard the undisguised contempt in his tone. Unconsciously, she felt a surge of anger, her hands exerting more force, her body seeming to weigh several times heavier as she dragged the box downwards.

  But her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree under the force of that rising power, having no effect at all. It seemed she would soon follow the Taoist priest and fly away into the air together.

  At this time, the man finally stood up, pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Unite with one's body, shape as intended, break!"

  As soon as his voice fell, his whole person was suddenly bathed in a silver light, and then his body merged into one, breaking through the air and leaving.

  At this time, the Taoist priest along with the wooden box rose upwards and had already gradually escaped from the control of the five-colored cloud light. Mo Zi Chen suddenly discovered that she had risen to a height of several hundred feet, at which point a silver light flew in and stopped in front of her, and the person who appeared before her was precisely that man.

  Mo Zi Chen let out a cry of surprise, and then she found that the wooden box together with herself seemed to have escaped from the Taoist's attraction, plummeting downwards at incredible speed...
