He was in a grand hall, but it was now a scene of utter carnage, with bloodstains everywhere. Dragons had been slaughtered throughout the hall, some even missing their tendons and horns.

The blood was still fresh, indicating that the perpetrators hadn't been gone for long.

Mo Wuji's shoes and clothes were soaked in the blood, a shocking sight.

"What a cruel bunch," Mo Wuji muttered, inhaling sharply. He'd witnessed vendettas and murders before. He had destroyed the Lei family and the Yan family, and even the Mirage Mountain years ago. But was it necessary to make such a bloody mess? It was evident that the perpetrators were psychologically deranged. Even if they wanted to exterminate the Dragon Race, there was no need for such a spectacle.

Mo Wuji carefully stood up, his spiritual will constantly scanning the surroundings, but he dared not extend it too far, lest powerful individuals notice his presence.

The hall was vast and empty. Mo Wuji was certain that the entrance to Hidden Dragon Abyss wasn't here. He had emerged from a one-way portal. These so-called one-way portals were simply space formations that transported people and objects from one side of a stone wall to the other, but the other side couldn't send anything back.

Once such a portal was established, spiritual will couldn't penetrate either side of the wall. However, blood could seep through the portal, which was why he had seen the dripping blood in Hidden Dragon Abyss earlier.

In any case, this was no place to linger. Just as Mo Wuji was about to leave, two figures suddenly descended from the air.

Mo Wuji instinctively prepared to unleash his magical treasures, but he quickly realized that these two posed no threat to him.

They were just two children, a boy and a girl, with fair skin, rosy lips, and delicate features. Both had a faint dragon-shaped mark on their foreheads.

Having been around Yan Li and having cultivated in Hidden Dragon Abyss recently, Mo Wuji knew instantly that these were Dragon Race descendants.

"Ah..." The two children also saw Mo Wuji at the same time.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to explain that he hadn't killed the dragons here, he sensed a ripple at the edge of his spiritual will.

Even though his spiritual will hadn't detected anyone, Mo Wuji knew someone else was coming. He quickly retracted his spiritual will, swept up the two children, and vanished into his Immortal World.

The Immortal World transformed into a speck of dust, settling in a corner of the hall. Mo Wuji's Immortal World wasn't fully developed yet. Because he cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique and was just an ordinary mortal without spiritual roots, the speck of dust was completely unremarkable. In other words, it truly looked like a speck of dust. Only someone with spiritual eyes as heaven-defying as Mo Wuji's or someone with overwhelming power could discern the difference.

Almost as soon as Mo Wuji hid, a figure burst through the door.

It was a middle-aged man in yellow robes, with an aquiline nose, a wide mouth, and enormous hands.

"Huh!" The man scanned the hall and exclaimed in surprise. After a moment, he muttered to himself, "This is clearly a teleportation talisman leading to this hall, but where is it? Could there be another teleportation array in this hall? No, even if there were, it couldn't be this fast. There's no spatial fluctuation..."

The yellow-robed man reluctantly scanned the hall again and again with his spiritual will. Then, as if remembering something, he turned and quickly left.

Sensing the man's departure, Mo Wuji emerged from the Immortal World, bringing the two children with him.

The first thing he did was to take out a crystal ball to record everything that had happened. These spatial traces would become blurry over time and eventually disappear completely.

Fortunately, the yellow-robed man hadn't thought that anyone would record spatial images, and he hadn't tried to erase the spatial traces of his appearance.

Once Mo Wuji had recorded the events, the girl took the boy by the hand and bowed to Mo Wuji. "Thank you, Senior, for saving us just now."

Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "How did you know I wasn't with those people?"

The girl replied, "Senior, you don't have any killing intent. Besides, I saw that a yellow-robed man and a gold-robed man killed most of my Dragon Race members."

"Brother, where did you take us just now? Why didn't the yellow-robed man see us?" the younger boy asked, revealing his curiosity about Mo Wuji's secrets.

Mo Wuji wouldn't reveal the existence of the Immortal World. He had shielded them when he brought them into the Immortal World. At most, they would have felt that they were hiding in a corner, but they wouldn't know where that corner was.

"I know some good concealment techniques, so I was able to evade that guy," Mo Wuji said. "By the way, who are these people? They're so ruthless. Are they trying to wipe out the Dragon Race completely?"

The girl shook her head. "We don't know. When we came out, many of the Dragon Race's experts had already been killed. They didn't notice us for a moment, so we were able to use a talisman to escape here."

Mo Wuji then asked, "Why are you in human form? Aren't you Dragon Race disciples?"

The girl replied, "We cultivate another method of the Dragon Race. We have to transform into human form with immortal pills at birth. These immortal pills are extremely precious, so not many Dragon Race members transform into human form at a young age. Most Dragon Race members only start transforming after they advance to Immortal King."

The fact that these two young dragons could transform at such a young age indicated that they held a high status. However, Mo Wuji wasn't interested in their status. The Dragon Race was a top-tier strong race, and there must be a reason why they were being slaughtered like this. Mo Wuji wasn't too concerned about these things. He had only asked casually. He had plenty of his own problems to deal with.

Sensing that Mo Wuji wasn't very interested in them, the girl said tactfully, "Senior, my name is Ao Sangzi, and this is my cousin, Ao Xia. The Dragon Race is facing a great disaster. Please, Senior, help us."

Mo Wuji shook his head and said, "Sangzi, you should know that I accidentally stumbled upon this place. My cultivation is only at the Profound Immortal stage. How can I help your Dragon Race? I've already risked my life to save you two."

Ao Sangzi quickly said, "Senior, you misunderstand. I'm not asking you to help the Dragon Race, but to take us out of this place..."

Mo Wuji was immediately put in a difficult position. It wasn't that he didn't want to help. He had also benefited from the Dragon Race, advancing from the middle stage of Profound Immortal to the Perfected Stage, and even tempering his body with dragon qi.

But he really couldn't help. He was in danger himself.

"Senior, I know a secret exit, but our cultivation is too low to pass through that place," Ao Sangzi said quickly when she heard Mo Wuji's words.

Her and Ao Xia's cultivation wasn't even at the Heavenly Immortal stage. Their cultivation was indeed too low.

"Where is it?" Mo Wuji asked eagerly.

Ao Sangzi's face showed hesitation. Seeing this, Mo Wuji couldn't care less about being polite. He quickly said, "Don't worry, I really came here by accident. I will definitely not reveal the Dragon Race's secrets."

Ao Sangzi quickly said, "That's not it, Senior. Only members of the Dragon Race can leave through that place. You're not a member of the Dragon Race. You can only help us leave, but you can't leave with us."

Mo Wuji felt like he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, chilled from head to toe. He was just as eager to leave this place. He suspected that the powerful individuals who had destroyed the Dragon Race wouldn't let things go so easily and might even destroy this place in the end. Although he had the River Luo Book, could he take it out in the Immortal World? That would be suicide.

"However, that place is no longer in the central area of the Dragon Race. After you send us away, you can leave on your own. But we can leave through the teleportation array, while you can only leave through the West Trench Sea..."

Before Ao Sangzi could finish, Mo Wuji interrupted, "No problem. Take me there quickly. I promise to send you two away and then leave myself."

"Thank you, Senior." The girl hurriedly walked to a floor tile at the northernmost end of the hall. She took out another talisman, chanted several incantations, and made a few hand seals.

A faint crack appeared in front of Ao Sangzi. Ao Sangzi said to Mo Wuji, "Senior, please take us out of here."

Mo Wuji had been waiting for Ao Sangzi's words. As soon as she spoke, he rushed forward, taking Ao Sangzi and Ao Xia and entering the crack. A moment later, the crack slowly disappeared.

Not long after the three left, a series of rumbling sounds echoed around the hall.

At the moment of teleportation, Mo Wuji suddenly felt a sense of relief. The dangerous premonition seemed to have disappeared.

The end of the teleportation was a small stone house with a diameter of less than five meters. There was a ring in one corner of the stone house. There was indeed a teleportation array in the middle of the stone house, and there was a wave-shaped array door in the corner of the stone house.

Although Ao Sangzi was very young, she was very experienced. She walked over, took the ring, and handed it to Mo Wuji. "Senior, this is a ring that my Dragon Race left behind in case of an emergency. I'll give it to you. Because this teleportation array requires a Profound Immortal or higher to activate, my cousin and I only want you to activate the teleportation array and send us away. Then you can leave through the array door in the corner of the house."

Mo Wuji knew that there must be many good things in this ring. He didn't plan to take it and pushed the ring back to Ao Sangzi. "We're helping each other. Without you to guide me, I wouldn't have been able to come here. Since this ring was left behind by your Dragon Race, you should keep it with you."

"Thank you, Senior." Ao Sangzi was more mature than most children her age. After all, she was still a child and didn't understand the concept of offering something twice. Fortunately, Mo Wuji really didn't want the ring. When she heard Mo Wuji's refusal, she quickly put the ring away and thanked him.
