Chapter 1273: Martial Heart Demon

Ye Liuyun waited a while, and that voice never appeared again.

He looked at Mo Tianheng, but found Mo Tianheng was looking at him.

"Did you also hear that voice?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"This is an Illusion Array set up by Mohu; the content we see should be different. The fact that you regained consciousness means you've passed this trial."

Mo Tianheng didn't tell Ye Liuyun what they had seen.

But Ye Liuyun also carefully noticed that Mo Tianheng's complexion was not good either. He must have also seen something that troubled him.

"What is Mohu's purpose in doing this? We weren't harmed," Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

Mo Tianheng explained, "We weren't harmed because we could stay conscious; Divine Soul Power can resist his illusion. Mohu's intent, if he cannot directly control us, is to affect our martial heart, causing a martial heart demon that will hinder our future realm breakthroughs."

"But I think what he said makes some sense!" Ye Liuyun was a bit confused.

"That's his cleverness. He can find your weakness and amplify it into a heart demon. If you can't let it go, it will affect you when you later break through realms.

Especially when reaching a great realm breakthrough, the breakthrough is basically hopeless!" Mo Tianheng sighed.

"Killing people to purge the heart?" Ye Liuyun thought of that phrase.

"Exactly, that's the meaning!" Mo Tianheng nodded.

"That damned Mohu really affected me! We should join forces to eliminate it!"

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was so resentful toward Mohu that his teeth ached, and he no longer wanted to capture it.

Mo Tianheng laughed, "It probably won't wait for you to kill it, right?"

"Ran away? Where could it run?"

【8】 Ye Liuyun and Mo Tianheng quickened their steps and left the entrance shrouded by Demon Qi.

Ye Liuyun and Mo Tianheng also quickened their steps, walking out of the entrance shrouded by Demon Qi.

However, after they got out, Ye Liuyun also sighed.

Inside was a Secret Realm, the space was enormous.

Even with his Golden Pupil he couldn't see the horizon. Moreover, there seemed to be a Formation that blocked Divine Sense detection, so he couldn't see far.

He guessed that by now Mohu had already vanished.

Mo Tianheng smiled and led Ye Liuyun toward a direction, hurrying forward.

"You already guessed I couldn't catch it?" Ye Liuyun felt that Mo Tianheng's earlier words seemed to doubt his ability to capture Mohu.

"Its escape is a good thing for you!" Mo Tianheng replied.

"Why?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"It has existed for thousands of years; do you think it truly can't be beaten?" Mo Tianheng tossed the question back.

"Uh... maybe!"

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and gave up the idea of searching for Mohu again.

After millennia of cultivation, even a slow improvement would make his realm higher than Mohu's.

"It seems Mohu despises fighting me, not fearing me. The Illusion Array at the entrance was merely a test for us!"

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun felt he should thank Mohu.

Although Mohu's issue affected him, once he understood it, it would actually make his martial path smoother.

However, now is not the time. Mo Tianheng had said this place was extremely dangerous, and he still needed to focus on monitoring the surroundings. After leaving, he must carefully contemplate his martial path and consider how to handle his relationships with family and this world.

Having set down his mental burden, Ye Liuyun's expression relaxed considerably.

"You recover so quickly!" Mo Tianheng, seeing his demeanor restored, couldn't help praising.

"Not at all! I just temporarily set aside that heart demon to focus on the danger here. After we get out, I'll slowly untie the heart demon!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

"You're right, thinking later isn't too late; let's first get past this trial!"

Saying that, Mo Tianheng also set aside his thoughts and focused on finding the direction.

Once he entered the Secret Realm, his memories began to gradually unlock. He could now recall the path to take.

"Prepare to act; ahead is a werewolf settlement. Their realm is low, but their numbers might be considerable!" Mo Tianheng reminded Ye Liuyun.

Soon, they crossed a ridge.

When Ye Liuyun peeked ahead and saw what lay beyond the ridge, a chill ran down his scalp.

Beyond the ridge was a vast area of stone houses, and around those houses were monsters with wolf heads on human bodies.

"This number... isn't it a bit many!" Ye Liuyun remarked.

Below was a massive werewolf horde, at least several thousand werewolves.

At that moment, the werewolves also noticed them.

One werewolf let out a howl, reporting to the pack.

Soon, the werewolf pack swarmed out, lunging toward them.

"We have to kill them all!" Mo Tianheng reminded Ye Liuyun.

But Ye Liuyun suddenly recalled Mohu's words.

He is now killing some innocent beings just to obtain resources! These werewolves were living here peacefully. If it weren't for the resources, he wouldn't kill them.

Although Ye Liuyun tried to set those questions aside for now, when the situation arose he couldn't help thinking about them.

Thus his expression immediately showed hesitation.

"We are their food; if we don't kill them, we can't pass this trial!"

After Mo Tianheng had just instructed Ye Liuyun, he noticed he gave no reply.

Turning back, he saw his hesitant expression and immediately reminded him again.

Ye Liuyun gritted his teeth and drew the Demon Slaying Sword.

He didn't ask why not killing all the werewolves would prevent passing the trial. After all, he knew nothing about this place and had to follow Mo Tianheng's orders.

He also believed that Mo Tianheng wasn't the type to kill indiscriminately.

"Think about it later; first save your life!" "We can't just wait to be killed by someone else!" Ye Liuyun gave himself a little pep talk.

Thinking of that, he released Lei Ming and Long Nv to lend a hand.

The werewolves' cultivation levels were low, so Lei Ming and Long Nv could also spar. He even let out a few massive Evil Dragons to take part in the hunt.

Unfortunately, the Magic Vine was dormant, otherwise he could have seized the chance to absorb plenty of energy.

Once Ye Liuyun steadied his mind, his strikes were utterly ruthless.

He fought while thinking in his mind, "If I don't take a killing hand, they'll kill me! Perhaps the martial world is that cruel!"

Gradually, as blood splattered, both sides fought with reddened eyes, and Ye Liuyun slowly forgot the whole affair.

Behind him lay a field of werewolf corpses.

Lei Ming and Long Nv also got a fierce, satisfying beating.

After consulting Ye Liuyun, the two no longer shied away from Mo Tianheng, both revealed their true forms and fought the werewolves side by side.
