"Heh, are you afraid to make a move or unwilling to?"
"You, Li Tingyun, are noble and upright. But have you forgotten that if this old lady hadn't taken pity on you and given you a hand back then, you, Li Tingyun, would still be nothing but a street rat digging through dung!"
The most reckless thing Mo Shuxin had done in her life was to fall in love with a dung-digging boy from the countryside.
When her elder sister entered the palace, she was filled with resentment but powerless against the might of her family due to her insufficient strength. She had no choice but to venture out and travel, only to encounter Li Tingyun in Suixia City.
At that time, Li Tingyun was frail and in a low position, bullied by everyone every day. But every time he saw Mo Shuxin, he would smile at her happily. When Mo Shuxin was unhappy, he would pick wild flowers for her and take her to see the fireflies in the forest...
Mo Shuxin was also moved by him. Despite the vast difference in their status, she brought Li Tingyun home. However, she faced strong opposition from her entire family, including her elder sister.
To gain their acceptance of Li Tingyun, Mo Shuxin personally taught him cultivation. To her surprise, after Li Tingyun achieved success, he first colluded with the family to scheme against her sister, then flattered the Emperor and betrayed the family, causing the entire Mo family to fall apart. Following that, Qin Si was born, her sister passed away, and he even intended to send her into the imperial palace!
Nominally, it was so she could take care of Qin Si, but she knew all too well that it was merely for his own ambition!
Mo Shuxin used to not understand why some people would suddenly change so drastically, abandoning their wives and children, and harming their kin. How could such people become Mahayana Dao Lords?
She pitied herself, who was stabbed by a sword, and the child in her womb who was never detected. She was also fortunate that the child did not come into this world to suffer more, and fortunate that she had seen through people's hearts so early.
Recalling the past, Mo Shuxin's heart turned cold, and her eyes were red.
She said coldly, "Li Tingyun, as long as this old lady is alive, you will never be able to ascend!"
Don't you love your Great Dao the most?
Then I wish you a lifetime of a flawed Dao heart, unable to advance further!
"You're courting death!"
Being called a dung-digger repeatedly had hit Li Tingyun's sensitive spot. Now, to be cursed for being unable to ascend, Li Tingyun could no longer stand it. With a wave of his long sleeve, he reached out to grip Mo Shuxin's neck!
"Scram!"
Before Li Tingyun could get close to Mo Shuxin, a long sword suddenly pierced through the air, directly xuyên through his palm!
"Brat, why are you here?" Mo Shuxin saw Qin Si and frowned, "Did Chuiming look for you? I already told you, I'm leading the team to the grand event this time."
The Qin family had finally produced a devoted lover, how rare.
She felt guilty even for disturbing Qin Si's search for someone.
Qin Si blocked Mo Shuxin behind him, not answering her, but looked at Li Tingyun.
"Sect Leader Li, in less than a year, your Supreme Sect's Xile branch has sent many people to Shenqi, and you have visited our continent twice. It seems our two realms' agreement needs to be amended."
The original agreement between the two realms stipulated that people from the outer continent could not casually enter the Shenqi Continent. However, in recent years, people from the outer continent had not strictly adhered to this agreement.
Li Tingyun, knowing he was in the wrong, took a step back and said, "This agreement has only been in place for a short time. Further changes would be inappropriate."
Qin Si said with a half-smile, "You're right. Useless agreements, no matter how many times they are changed, are still useless. It's time to change them from the root."
"Qin Si!" Li Tingyun's voice was deep and stern, "Do you really think this venerable one cannot deal with you?"
Speaking of this, Li Tingyun became extremely angry and resentful. It was just a scheme against Mo Lanxin, wasn't it? That woman had even risked her life to curse him, preventing him from personally killing Qin Si and Mo Shuxin. As long as he made a fatal move that threatened their lives, he would suffer the curse's backlash.
At first, Li Tingyun still wanted to get rid of them through scheming, but Qin Si and Mo Shuxin were not to be trifled with. With Li Tingyun unable to act directly, all their plots and tricks were foiled by the two of them.
Qin Si said coldly, "Sect Leader Li is joking. I also want to ask Sect Leader Li, do you truly believe our Shenqi Continent is an easy target?"
Their eyes met, and they both saw killing intent in each other's gaze. They moved simultaneously!
The palm wind and spiritual sword, carrying immense spiritual energy, collided with a "bang" and exploded!
As the spiritual light dissipated, Qin Si and Li Tingyun retreated two steps each, the outcome a draw.
Qin Si's gaze was unfathomable. Not enough, still not enough. This was just a clone of Li Tingyun, and he could only barely fight to a draw. To kill Li Tingyun, his cultivation was far from sufficient.
Li Tingyun was shocked. How long had it been? This brat had already reached the Nascent Soul stage cultivation?
"No, even if I can't kill this brat today, I must destroy him! Allowing him to continue developing..." The consequences made Li Tingyun's pupils shrink, unwilling to imagine.
"Qin Si! Bring out the Black Obsidian Divine Stone!"
Li Tingyun roared and grabbed towards Qin Si again. Instantly, the surrounding space distorted, airflow whirled, and the wind sounded like whistling blades.
Qin Si's eyes were filled with coldness, and his long sword materialized in his hand. The ice and snow that filled the sky instantly transformed into a flying dragon, charging directly at Li Tingyun.
"You dream!" he declared with unrestrained arrogance, his red robe billowing, his brows sharp. "Since you've come today, you owe our Shenqi Continent an explanation! Li Tingyun, our Shenqi Continent remembers the enmity of the Nine Revolutions Fortune Seizing Array!"
As his voice fell, the flying dragon roared, and thunder rumbled.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Heaven's will seemed to be enraged by this, lightning churning in the sea of clouds, and the wind raging.
Qin Si frowned slightly, sealed the space containing himself and Li Tingyun, and then tore through space, pulling Li Tingyun in!
"What happened?"
"Elder Mo must be busy, right?"
"Should we go out and take a look?"
In Jin City, Feng Wuya and the others watched the strange phenomena in the sky, filled with anxiety, but they dared not disobey Mo Shuxin's orders and could only wait anxiously.
At the city gate, Mo Shuxin's mood was no less anxious than theirs. Just as she was about to lose patience, she sensed new spatial fluctuations.
Qin Si emerged, tearing through space, covered in blood.
"Brat? Are you alright?"
Mo Shuxin rushed forward to help him, but Qin Si subtly pushed her away.
"Aunt Mo, I have someone I love, it's not suitable," he said, then shook his head, "I didn't..."
Before he could finish the word "have," he softly began to fall from the air.
"Qin Si!"
...
"Qin Si?"
In the Great Sheng Kingdom, Bai Shengyi cried out in alarm and suddenly woke from her dream.
She touched her chest, her heart pounding erratically and uneasily.
Has Ah Si run into trouble?
Bai Shengyi's mind was a confused mess, filled with extreme worry. She could no longer sleep, so she put on her clothes and got up.
A knock came from outside the door.
"Junior Sister, are you alright? Did you have a nightmare?"
