Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Mo Yin took a deep breath: "Since Sect Master Xu personally risked coming to the Central Region for the Gengjin Sword Embryo, it shows it has great use for him. If I take the initiative to help, I can obtain a favor. You know, transactions are only temporary, but favors are lasting."

I can obtain a favor if I take the initiative to help.

You know, transactions are only temporary, but favors are lasting.

Hui Jiuming let out a low chuckle upon hearing this, his tone carrying a few hints of an indescribable emotion: "Everyone calls you the Foolish Prince, yet you are more clear-headed than anyone."

Mo Yin recovered from his shock, suddenly bowing deeply: "Sect Master Xu, I am willing to help you steal the Gengjin Sword Embryo, but I have one request."

"A request?"

Xu Changqing revealed a playful expression: "What request?"

Mo Yin said seriously: "After it is done, please take me away from the Mo Family."

After hearing this, Xu Changqing agreed very straightforwardly: "Deal!"

Having obtained the promise, the gloom on Mo Yin's face dissipated a few degrees, but his brows remained tightly locked. He looked at Xu Changqing anew, his tone carrying a few more degrees of frankness: "Sect Master Xu, let me put the ugly words first.

I truly want to help you, of course also to help myself.

But this Gengjin Sword Embryo, the Mo Family enshrines it as a heirloom. I, a person who can't even pass the Direct Lineage Assessment, let alone touch it, don't even know where it is.

Therefore, it might be in a certain Direct Line Elder's Storage Magic Treasure, or it might be sealed in a secret chamber at the core of the Ancestral Land.

But no matter where, none are places I can contact.

Currently the only thing that can be confirmed is that it is not in the Outer Perimeter."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing flipped his right hand, and three streaks of flowing light flew out from his sleeve.

The first streak of flowing light transformed into a wooden sword that was entirely verdant green. The sword body was merely a foot or so long, the blade thin as a cicada's wing. Though quietly suspended in the air, it emitted a sharp sword intent.

This sword is named Three Commands Green Edge.

Immediately following, the second streak of flowing light transformed into a spirit talisman shining with golden light.

This talisman is named Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman.

The last third streak of flowing light transformed into a small and exquisite Transmission Jade Talisman.

Xu Changqing pushed the three items forward: "Three Commands Green Edge, can slay those below Spirit Transformation.

Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman, can block a Spirit Transformation attack.

Transmission Jade Talisman, make a report immediately upon any discovery.

If the Gengjin Sword Embryo is hidden in someone's Storage Magic Treasure, I will handle it."

Mo Yin extended both hands, solemnly receiving these three things. He fell silent for an instant, then retreated two steps backward, and once again bowed deeply to Xu Changqing.

If it were someone else, they might not give any life-saving means.

Yet the person before him not only gave them, but did so with great sincerity.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Xu Changqing called out to Mo Yin, his voice slightly gentler than before: "Is Han Xin in the Mo Family?"

Mo Yin's footsteps paused, a trace of surprise appearing on his face: "You know Elder Han?"

Xu Changqing nodded: "Indeed."

That is extremely familiar.

Back at the Dongting Immortal Sect, she came to find me for a drink every few days.

When drunk, she would either sleep in a ditch or continuously "crash".

Mo Yin shook his head: "Elder Han did marry into the Mo Family, but she is not in the Ancestral Land.

After the Mo Family cooperated with the Demon Realm, they discovered an Ancient Ruins at a place called Qing Shi Jian to the south. Inside are a large amount of Ancient Arrays and texts needing deciphering.

All the Mo Family's Array Masters were transferred there, and Elder Han is among them."

Xu Changqing asked further: "Where is Qing Shi Jian?"

Mo Yin put away the three things, then pointed in a direction: "Qing Shi Jian is about half a day's distance from here, and is one of the Mo Family's current most core excavation sites."

Xu Changqing noted down this place name: "I understand!"

Han Xin not being in the Mo Family Ancestral Land is even better; I really don't want to fight her.

When it comes down to it, the two are not only fellow disciples, but also friends.

Mo Yin lingered no longer, piloted the Mo-Colored Flying Boat and departed. After a while, the calm he had forcibly maintained before Xu Changqing just now faded by more than half.

The crease between his brows emerged again, and it was a few degrees deeper than when he came.

Hui Jiuming's voice rang out, carrying unconcealed mockery: "You were so bold just now, talking about gambling and a chance to turn the tables. Now you know fear?"

However, Mo Yin did not answer.

Hui Jiuming's voice abruptly turned cold, no longer mocking, yet more pressing than mockery: "Kid, this King asks you one last time. Are you sure you've thought it through?"

Mo Yin's voice was very light, as if talking to himself: "You think he will turn hostile."

"Not think."

Hui Jiuming's tone had no fluctuation, coldly saying: "Once he turns hostile, you offend not only the Eastern Region, but also the Mo Family, even the Demon Realm. The Mo Family's methods of dealing with traitors, you know better than I. The Demon Realm needs no further words; at that time even this King cannot protect you."

The Mo Family's methods of dealing with traitors, you know better than I.

The Demon Realm needs no further words; at that time even this King cannot protect you.

Suddenly, Mo Yin straightened his body: "Hui Jiuming, I have a question."

"Ask."

"Do you think, with Xu Zhangqing's current strength, he needs to go to such great lengths?"

"Kid, what do you mean?"

"Xu Zhangqing could completely find someone else, or even infiltrate the Mo Family himself!"

"This..."

"But he not only didn't, instead he activated the Mo-pattern Small Sword, invited me out to meet, and even brought out the Three Governors Green Edge and the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman."

"What does that mean?"

"He's a good person!"

Once these words came out, Hui Jiuming no longer persuaded; it knew Mo Yin had already made up her mind.

Atop the Isolated Peak.

Xu Zhangqing watched Mo Yin's flying boat disappear, and in his heart rearranged the upcoming itinerary.

The acquisition of the Gengjin Sword Embryo required waiting for Mo Yin's message.

During this period, he could not startle the snake by stirring the grass.

It just so happened that Blue Stone Stream was only half a day's distance from here; he might as well go there first to find Han Xin.

First, to catch up on old times.

Second, to inquire about more details of the cooperation between the Mo Family and the Demon Realm.

Immediately, he once again cast the Hair-covering Technique; five colors flowed around his body, his figure rapidly shrank and deformed in the light, once again transforming into that Five-Colored Peacock.

Then with a flap of both wings, he soared into the sky in an instant.

He flew for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before Xu Zhangqing detected an anomaly ahead.

A low Ring Mountain; dense black smoke rushed skyward from the mountain mouth, dyeing the demon clouds above a dull gray-black color.

Within the black smoke, mixed with an extremely strange aura.

There was rich demon qi, but this demon qi was completely different from what he had sensed previously.

It seemed more ancient, faintly mixed with some kind of extremely subtle special fluctuation.

Thinking it over, Xu Zhangqing slowed his speed, lowered his altitude, and borrowing the cover of the cloud layer, approached that low mountain.

Soon, he clearly saw the scene below.

At the foot of that mountain, there was a cave entrance that had been blasted open.

Around the cave entrance lay scattered large amounts of shattered rocks and broken array bases; the ground all around still retained several scorch marks left by high-temperature burning.

Not only that, this place had also gathered several hundred demons.

One-horned Wolf Demons, demon pigs, several huge One-eyed Monsters, and two Demon Kings covered in scale armor guarding both sides of the cave entrance.

And in the deeper part, Xu Zhangqing saw several figures wearing Mo Family brocade robes.

These people and demons were surrounding a massive stone slab that had just been pried off the rock wall, and then discussing something in low voices.

On the stone slab were carved full of ancient patterns extremely close in style to the Night Weeping Totem; the patterns even emitted a unique fluctuation!
