"Do the few of you know how we got out of Sword Prison?" After a long period of silence, Shang Hegao suddenly asked.
Pang Hong and Wei Zidao looked towards Shang Hegao. Even though Wei Zidao was the strongest and Pang Hong was the most influential, the most experienced person was still Shang Hegao. In reality, the one with the most experience was still Shang Hegao, and he was extremely shrewd. If it wasn't for luck, the Great Sword Path might not have been able to force Shang Hegao into prison.
Shang Hegao pointed upwards and said in a low voice, "During the War of the Gods, Sword Prison was a remnant of the war. It was rumoured that a peak grade sword dao expert died here and after his death, Sword Prison was formed … "
As he said this, Shang Hegao paused for a moment, then he lowered his voice to a level where only the three of them could barely hear him, "This place is just like the Gods Tower, Yong Ying Immortal Domain's Lifeless River and the Broken World; they are all ancient relics. It's just that the Lifeless River had the Breath of Hongmeng while this place has boundless sword qi. Think about it, if … "
As Shang Hegao said this, he seemed to have understood something as his face changed drastically.
As Shang Hegao's face changed, Pang Hong and Wei Zidao's faces changed too. Clearly, they had thought of what Shang Hegao had thought of.
The three of them stood up almost at the same time. Before the three of them could speak, an Immortal Reverend stood at the door and reported, "Reverend, we noticed that in the past 24 hours, there was no sword qi at all for more than 24 hours. Only during the last few breaths did some fragmented sword qi appear. "
"Let's go!" Hearing this Immortal Reverent's words, Shang Hegao shouted and rushed out without hesitation.
At almost the same time, Pang Hong and Wei Zidao rushed out too. That Immortal Reverent saw the three Reverent Lords rushing out without a clue and knew that something had happened. He hurriedly rushed out as well.
With this, the entire Vine Mountain of Safety seemed to be awakened as many cultivators who didn't know what had happened also rushed out.
…
At the same time, outside the Gobi Desert that Mo Wuji had marked, the four men and women stopped. The common characteristic of these four people was that they all carried a long sword on their back and their leader was a skinny middle-aged man. Behind him was a young woman. She didn't look delicate but she looked valiant. The last one was an extremely boorish looking man.
"Martial Granduncle, there seems to be a grand formation here." The one who spoke was a young man walking in the third place. This young man had a sallow complexion and was skinny. On his back was a bamboo sword.
The middle-aged man, who was walking at the front, nodded and said with appreciation, "Fan Wa has made good progress recently. He can see that this is a grand array. That's right, this place was indeed a grand formation. If I'm not wrong, this array should have been set up by that Senior Mo. "
"This Sect Head Mo is really impressive. In the past, many people wanted to come to this desert, but in the end, not many could stay for long. The moment Sect Head Mo arrived, he actually decided to settle down here, "That valiant-looking woman said.
"Not bad." The middle-aged man said, "There are many experts in Sword Prison but how many of them are like Senior Mo, who is able to install a Grade 6 immortal array? In fact, we're already more than half a year too late. It's my fault for not having foresight. I'm not as bright as Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng. "
After saying that, the middle-aged man sighed. His tone was somewhat melancholic.
The woman shook her head, "It's not that Senior Granduncle isn't as good as the others. It's because Senior Granduncle knows that the four of us might be the only people left in Tian Ji Sect. If we were to fall here, Tian Ji Sect might just end here. Thus, Senior Granduncle is extremely cautious with every step he takes. "
"Zhen Kui, you're not allowed to mention anything about Tian Ji Sect in the future. You can only talk about Sword School," The middle-aged man said sternly.
"Yes," That woman hurried to respond.
The middle-aged man sighed again. He didn't continue speaking as he activated his immortal elemental energy and said, "Sword School's Su Zi 'An seeks an audience with Sect Head Mo."
Moments later, the grand array in front of them opened up. A clear plaza appeared in front of everyone. A man who was even skinnier than Su Zi 'An walked out.
"Su Zi 'An greets Immortal Friend Fei." Even though Fei Ling's cultivation was slightly lower than Su Zi' An, Su Zi 'An still bowed respectfully.
His heart was filled with regret. He shouldn't have come here earlier to seek refuge with Sect Head Mo. Previously, he had personally witnessed Fei Ling's miserable state. Even though Fei Ling didn't seek refuge with any of the three superpowers of the Vine Mountain of Safety, he was still very clear about it. Some of the things that happened in the three superpowers were very clear to him.
Fei Ling offended Pang Hong and escaped from the Vine Mountain of Safety in a miserable state. It could even be said that only a skeleton managed to escape. Only a short period of time had passed and Fei Ling was no different from an ordinary person except for that eye which had yet to fully recover. One must know that this was the Sword Prison. Even if he was outside, he might not be able to recover so quickly.
Fei Ling also recognised who this fella was. It was Su Zi 'An who was slightly stronger than him. He was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage. It was said that Su Zi 'An was a sword cultivator and had gained enlightenment on many sword dao sacred arts in the Sword Prison. There was no need to talk about him. Even Nie Chongan might not be able to defeat Su Zi 'An in the Sword Prison.
It was just that Su Zi 'An was unmoved by force or persuasion. He didn't offend anyone so he didn't join any of the three superpowers. In the Vine Mountain of Safety, he was only at a corner. Because Su Zi 'An was rather low profile, he had never clashed with the three superpowers. Coupled with his strong cultivation, he was barely able to establish himself in the Vine Mountain of Safety.
"I wonder what Immortal Friend Su is here for?" Fei Ling was also puzzled. If Su Zi 'An wanted to join a superpower, he would have long joined Devil Hand, Righteousness Mountain or Immortal Hunters. Since Su Zi 'An didn't want to join any superpower, why did he come here? This place wasn't like the Vine Mountain of Safety.
Su Zi 'An hurried to clasp his fists and said, "I heard that Sect Head Mo is magnanimous and powerful. Su Zi' An specially came here to seek refuge."
"You want to seek refuge with our Ping Fan?" Fei Ling was even more puzzled. Why did this Su Zi 'An suddenly change his mind?
"Yes, the four of us want to seek refuge with Ping Fan." Su Zi 'An's lips curled into a bitter smile. He was an elder of Tian Ji Sect but now he had to bring his disciples to seek refuge with another sect.
Fei Ling clasped his fists and said, "Immortal Friend Su, I really can't make the decision on this matter. Sect Head had left half a year ago and has yet to return. If Sect Head Su is willing to wait, then please come in and wait at the plaza. If you're not willing to wait, then please leave. "
"Immortal Friend Fei? You're saying that Sect Head Mo left for half a year? "Su Zi 'An was momentarily stunned.
He was naturally aware of how terrifying the Sword Prison was. With Mo Wuji's strength, he would definitely be fine if he left for a few years. However, if he didn't leave, he would be able to recover his elemental energy. The moment he left, he would be invaded by the sword qi in the Sword Prison. By the time he returned, his elemental energy would be severely damaged.
"Yes, Immortal Friend Su, do you still want to wait?" Fei Ling understood Mo Wuji much better than Su Zi 'An. With regards to Sect Head Mo Wuji leaving, he really wasn't too worried. Since Mo Wuji had such an incredible physique tempering technique, he would definitely be tempering his physique once he left. Just like Jian Mingcheng, after he obtained the physique tempering technique, he also left this desert to temper his physique.
The only difference was that Jian Mingcheng would return after a period of time while Sect Head Mo Wuji had yet to return.
"Yes, we will wait here." Su Zi 'An regained his composure very quickly and said affirmatively.
"Since that's the case, the four of you can come in and wait at the plaza. I don't know how long you'll have to wait, "Fei Ling said simply.
"Many thanks Immortal Friend Fei." Su Zi 'An didn't stand on ceremony. He could still hold on for a period of time after leaving the Vine Mountain of Safety but the few behind him couldn't hold on for much longer. Even Fan Wa, who was the youngest and had the weakest cultivation level, was covered in injuries.
The moment the four of them entered the plaza, they could feel the sword qi around them weakening. As compared to the sword qi at the periphery of the Vine Mountain of Safety, the sword qi here was about the same.
"Don't stand on ceremony, I'm going in now. Take care of yourselves," Fei Ling said as he turned and walked out of the plaza.
"This Sect Head Mo is really a godly person. He actually knew that people would come here." After Fei Ling went in, Su Zi 'An sighed.
"Senior Uncle Master, how did you know?" Fan Wa asked doubtfully.
"Look at this plaza, it's actually between two arrays. The purpose of this plaza's existence is for those who want to join Ping Fan to wait here, "Su Zi 'An said.
At this moment, Su Zi 'An's emotions were much calmer. Since Sect Head Mo predicted that people would come here, then their chances of joining Ping Fan would be much higher.
…
"Boom boom boom!" A series of explosions could be heard from the bottom of the Vine Mountain of Safety. All the cultivators who were rushing out of the Vine Mountain of Safety panicked.
Those endless vines suddenly contracted and every cultivator that was touched by the vines would have their blood sucked dry and disappear without a trace.
Shang Hegao grabbed a talisman and crushed it furiously before spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. At this moment, why would he care about preserving his strength and elemental energy? After guessing what the Vine Mountain of Safety was, he couldn't wait to fly out of the Vine Mountain of Safety.
Unfortunately, even if he used all his methods, his strength was far from that intermediate Immortal Emperor Shang Hegao. A rattan coiled over and easily wrapped him up. His blood essence and soul aura were directly absorbed into the rattan. When he fell to the ground, there were only a few dry clothes and nothing else.
"Bang!" Pang Hong, who was still in the air, was swept down by a vine. The instant he landed on the ground, a root pierced into his body. As his blood and soul were rapidly sucked away, he sighed and muttered to himself, "I understand now."
He did understand now. His death and the changes in the Vine Mountain of Safety were all due to themselves. If they didn't frantically cut off the vines to make wooden barrels to collect water from the Sword Qi River, and if they didn't frantically repair their soul and body, the Vine Mountain of Safety definitely wouldn't have awakened in such a short period of time. Perhaps it might not have happened even after a few thousand years but they were too careless.
