Chapter 0: Mo Qingyang’s Helper
Normally, if one person accidentally disrupts another group’s drinking party, it wouldn’t escalate to a point of no return, as long as they weren’t enemies, and the other party wasn’t a Celestial Master, a Demon Lord, Ancestor Ye, or the Dragon Saint…
“Who are you?” Qin Gou stood up, looking at Mo Qingyang with a strange tone. “Suddenly appearing and ruining our mood, then demanding someone’s life. Have I offended you before?”
“You…” Mo Qingyang’s twin pupils trembled, shocked and angered. “Qin Gou of Arc-Moon Mountain, what trick are you playing now?”
“Hmm? You actually know my origins so clearly. Who exactly are you, your Excellency…” Qin Gou carefully examined Mo Qingyang, then his expression turned surprised. “Are you Mo Qingyang?! Look at my memory. Of course, it’s also because that battle at Eternal Seal Ice was so long ago that I completely forgot you!”
“Nonsense!” Mo Qingyang’s twin pupils were cold and stern. “At most, I was trapped in Eternal Seal Ice beneath the Abyss Palace for just over a year! To say you’ve forgotten me so quickly, you thief Qin, how dare you insult me like this?!”
“Just over a year?” Old Qin was completely bewildered. “Wasn’t it five hundred years ago?”
“What?” The voice of Qin Gou was a little lost. “I think Daoist Mo has only just regained consciousness in the past year or so, hence this misunderstanding? Besides, ‘Abyss Palace’? What era is that even from?”
Qin Gou shook his head, his expression filled with emotion. “Believe me, look. In this hall, humans and demons coexist peacefully. It’s because, while you were unaware, the entire Cultivation World has undergone earth-shattering changes. Also, look at our little Mo Ning, she was just a Little Dot back then, and now she’s grown so much!”
At the same time, Mo Ning’s gaze was ice-cold as she stared at Mo Qingyang, the madman who had killed her mother and intended to devour her and Mo Yu using the Bloodline Nourishment Technique.
“Hmph, the Qin Saint is absolutely right. Mo Qingyang, the best ending for you, you madman, was to sleep forever in Eternal Seal Ice, waiting to die in darkness!” Lu Zhili immediately stepped forward, shielding Kong Ling and Mo Ning.
“You are… Charm Bug!? How dare you be so arrogant in front of me!” Upon seeing Lu Zhili’s appearance, Mo Qingyang became furious.
“Charm Bug?” Lu Zhili’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. After her rebirth, her appearance was completely different from the Qing Ling and dignified Abyss Holy Queen of the past. She was now filled with radiant beauty and enchanting charm. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have quickly risen to a high position in the ‘judge people by appearance’ Heartstriker Snake Woman clan. To this day, Mo Qingyang still hadn’t discovered her true identity.
“It seems Mo Qingyang, you still haven’t understood. Just as Qin Saint said, time waits for no one. And today…” Lu Zhili waved her hand, summoning a black scepter. “You can call me ‘Supreme Priest’.”
“How is that possible?” This time, Mo Qingyang, with his eyes wide open, seemed genuinely shaken. Before, he could dismiss everything Qin Gou said, but for a mere ‘Charm Bug’ to have reached the position of Supreme Priest made him question everything.
At the same time, Qin Gou surveyed the surroundings. “Since we’ve said our farewells, there’s no need to delay any further. Allow us to send Daoist Mo to sleep again! I believe this time, it won’t be so easy for you to wake up again!”
Mo Qingyang’s eyes instantly blazed with cold light, and he shouted, “Ridiculous! Qin Gou, do you really think you have me cornered?!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qingyu casually withdrew the Grand Array in the hall that had suppressed everyone’s spiritual power to the extreme. The terrifying auras of Realm Lords and Dharma Aspect Realm mighty figures surged like a vast, overwhelming tide. Even with Mo Qingyang’s powerful cultivation, at this moment, he felt an invisible hand tightly clenching his throat, suffocating him. Zhao Xinting, Ye Qishuang, and others who had been itching for a fight and were ready, also began to advance.
“Wait a moment. This is merely a personal vendetta between myself and Qin Gou. Doesn’t your Human Race always emphasize righteousness and justice? How can you gang up on me like this?” Mo Qingyang’s eyes were bloodshot, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
“Do you have no idea who we are?” Zhao Xinting’s voice was chilling. “Mo Qingyang, the moment I heard you led thousands of your minions to set foot on Purple Ridge Arc Moon Mountain, I etched this hatred deep within me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Qingyang turned and fled without hesitation, roaring in fury, “Damn it! Mo Ning, I command you to make them stop immediately!” As if in desperation, he had forgotten that Kong Ling and Mo Ning were no longer under his spiritual imprint’s control.
Upon hearing this, the young girl Mo Ning gave Mo Qingyang an unbelievable glance, then nodded her head vigorously. “Everyone, stop! And then…”
“Let me do it!” With that, she instantly drew a long Emperor Weapon from her Nas Void Ring, pointing it directly at Mo Qingyang, and charged forward faster than anyone.
“Evil spawn!” Mo Qingyang roared, continuously fleeing. In reality, this was also due to Qin Gou and the others deliberately letting him go. Otherwise, if he were to fight near the main hall of the Abyss Palace, innocent bystanders could be harmed, and it would be too easy for Mo Qingyang to take anyone down with him.
“That’s enough.” A pleasant, gentle voice rang out. Qingyu flicked her finger, and her astonishing Realm Lord power instantly blocked Mo Qingyang’s escape route, leaving him nowhere to retreat.
At this moment, the Listening Ring, the Mother of Cursed Gods, and powers that repelled gods and demons, all sorts of world-shattering might, swept towards him. It was even accompanied by Qiu Lingyun’s songs, which Mo Qingyang couldn’t comprehend for a long time…
“Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, you are so powerful!” Mo Qingyang’s face turned pale, his hair stood on end, his eyes filled with fear, yet he seemed to be waiting for something.
And at this critical moment, an extremely powerful spiritual power fluctuation suddenly arrived from afar.
“It seems I made the right gamble after all!” At this moment, Mo Qingyang’s eyes shone brightly, and he cackled uncontrollably. “Ganging up on me? Thief Qin, do you think you’re the only one with help? Don’t you see whose land you’re standing on right now?!”
“Now, you are all finished. A mob like you will all die without a burial place! Senior… it’s them!” As soon as he finished speaking. A proud, exceptionally beautiful figure with skin like ice and jade appeared in everyone’s sight. She seemingly paid no attention to the surrounding threats, her eyes fixed on Qin Gou at the forefront. The shallow smile that played on her beautiful lips, conveying a sense of complete control, instantly reassured Mo Qingyang. The one who arrived was the Demon Lord, Jia Ren.
