At this time, Mo Zi Chen had silently emerged from behind the stone screen. After refining her energy, although she still couldn't use magic, her body was even more agile and nimble, like a rabbit darting out of its burrow. With a dagger in hand, she resembled a lynx cat, noiselessly and swiftly pouncing out, stabbing towards Lu Peng's back.
Lu Peng was triumphantly instructing Ren Gengxin, but he never expected that in this small cave, someone would sneak up behind him and launch a surprise attack. In his shock, both sleeves of his robe swung back towards the rear.
Mo Zi Chen made a light turn in the air, avoiding his attack. Her palm slapped out horizontally and heavily hit his shoulder, feeling like touching iron stone. At this time, she had already collected her momentum and was unable to stop. The dagger in her right hand quickly stabbed into his back.
With a "ding" sound, the dagger seemed to be blocked by something solid and only pierced through his clothes, unable to advance another inch.
Mo Zichen was stunned for a moment, and Lu Peng had already turned around, exchanging a glance with Mo Zichen. He subconsciously said: "You're still not dead?"
The two men exchanged a glance, and both saw the fierce killing intent in each other's eyes. Lu Peng waved his sleeves, and suddenly the surrounding air was filled with eerie howls. Countless shadows shot up into the sky, and a cold aura surrounded Mo Zi Chen as he turned around, but Lu Peng had already vanished from sight.
Mo Zi Chen's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Lu Peng's sleeves had nine small flags sewn on with black silk thread. He immediately reacted and realized that this garment must have been given to him by Luo Su as a protective treasure during his visit. At the very least, it was a high-quality spiritual instrument. His own dagger was sharp, but it was just ordinary iron and couldn't hurt Lu Peng, who seemed completely normal now.
However, Lu Peng apparently didn't know how to use this treasure either. He quickly retreated backwards, standing at the entrance of the cave, not daring to move forward. From his sleeves, he took out two small black flags, one in each hand, and mechanically waved them around while shouting crazily: "You dare to attack me? Wait till I report back to my master, I'll definitely have you refined into a furnace!"
Mo Zi Chen's mouth was merciless, coldly smiling as he said: "Your master, I fought with him yesterday, and wasn't it us together who beat him until he fled in disarray? Not a single hair on my head was lost. Your little skills are better not shown off in front of me!"
Lu Pengyue listened with increasing alarm, he and Mo Zichen were originally just acquaintances and didn't know each other well, nor did he know her background. He had been following Luo Suyou for these days and had gained some discerning abilities, able to see that Mo Zichen indeed had the aura of a fairy on her body, although he couldn't tell how deep it was, but it was indeed the authentic skill of the Mystic Sect. Thinking back to what he saw earlier, Luo Suyou, despite having refined the Mysterious Extreme Elixir and being spiritually complete, seemed to have been in a fight with someone and hadn't gained the upper hand. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, suddenly retreating several steps, inserting two small flags at the entrance of the cave, then turning around and fleeing swiftly.
Lu Peng escaped, and the gloomy aura in the room slowly dissipated. However, Mo Zi Chen's eyebrows furrowed as she realized that she seemed to have fallen into some sort of formation. She couldn't find the entrance to the stone cave!
The two-faced banner in Lu Peng's hand should be the spiritual instrument left to him by Luo Yu, although he is not very good at using it, but it is enough to trap people. If Ji Youfei were here, with a wave of his hand, he could break through this crude formation, but Mo Ziyu didn't have that skill.
She looked at Ren Gengxin with some regret, "Originally wanted to kill him, or could find a way to break your rope, didn't expect my skills were too low, and let him escape."
Ren Geng sighed and said: "Forget it, Lu Peng has escaped to report the news, and the one with the surname Luo will probably come soon. You'd better leave quickly."
Mo Zi Chen shook her head: "Do you think I can escape on my own? Moreover, I don't know the way and will definitely get lost in these mountains."
She rubbed her forehead with her hand, grasping the hair in front of her forehead, but couldn't think of any way out. A medium-grade spiritual stone, if Mother had left her own jade seal, it might have been used to save people now. Unfortunately, they were all lost by that cheap master.
By the way, where did that jade seal go?
Mo Zi Chen suddenly thought of it, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. That cheap master, he couldn't have absorbed all the spiritual energy inside, could he? Even if he left behind a fraction of it, it might still be useful.
She racked her brains and finally remembered that when she first discovered the jade pendant space, she accidentally dropped the broken piece of jade into the water pool in the space.
"Alright, wait for me!" she said hastily.
Ren Gengxin saw her standing there with her eyes slightly closed, as if she had lost her soul and didn't know what she was doing. At this time, Mo Zichen had already entered the mysterious space of the jade pendant.
During this time traveling with Ji Youfei and others, in order to prevent accidents, she did not enter this space. At this moment, it was found that the water pool seemed to have become a bit larger, and she felt a little headache. Where should that piece of broken jade be salvaged?
At this time, Mo Zi Chen suddenly heard a "squeak" cry, turned his head to look, and it was Doudou calling out to him. He suddenly thought that this little guy seemed to have a mysterious sense of the spiritual energy, so he said: "Can you help me find something? I dropped a stone in there the other day."
She gestured with her hand the size of the jade seal, and it seemed like she understood, then she flew in and jumped into the water pond in an instant.
But it immediately jumped up again, its whole body shaking, its eyes turned bright red, and it let out a loud cry. It was as if it had been scalded and its skin had been stripped off.
But Mo Zi Chen keenly saw that behind its small paws, amidst the ripples, a hint of jade stone's luster flashed by.
She couldn't help but be overjoyed, and took Tiao out, "You rascal, you really have some skills!" Afterwards, she reached down with one hand, and indeed felt a warm sensation, like a piece of jade. She pulled it out in an instant.
But when Mo Zi Chen finally got the jade stone in her hand, she was stunned. Was this the jade seal that had fallen into the water?
The outline is somewhat similar, but the appearance is completely different. The sheep fat jade stone feels warm to the touch and shines with a crystal clear and warm light, just like it did before the man absorbed its spiritual energy.
Ren Gengxin looked at Mo Zichen dazed, and in what seemed like the blink of an eye, a strange stone appeared in her hand. Seeing her standing there in a trance, he thought she had been possessed by evil spirits and called out: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Zi Chen was taken aback for a moment before regaining her composure. She clutched the jade stone tightly in her hand, feeling that its spiritual energy was full and not inferior to what it had been on that day.
She clearly remembered that the Jade Seal had turned into a lifeless stone after being drained of its spiritual energy by the man, but now it had returned to its original state. She couldn't help but feel as if time and space were intertwined, as if everything that had happened before had never occurred.
