Countless of people rushed out from every corner of the Vine Mountain of Safety but other than those who were close to the edge, less than one out of ten of them managed to escape the Vine Mountain of Safety.
Wei Zidao seemed to have ignited his own lifespan but he was also the fastest. The moment he rushed out of the Immortal Hunters' territory, he escaped to the edge of the Vine Mountain of Safety.
Even so, a vine still managed to pierce into his calf.
Wei Zidao had always been a rogue cultivator and he might not be as knowledgeable as Shang Hegao or as skilled as Pang Hong. However, there was one thing that he had that Shang Hegao and Pang Hong didn't and that was decisiveness.
The instant the vine pierced into Wei Zidao's calf, Wei Zidao's immortal elemental energy shook and his entire calf was separated from his body. In the next moment, the calf-less Wei Zidao rushed out frantically.
At this moment, sword qi was nothing to him and all he wanted to do was to escape as far as he could.
Behind Wei Zidao, the vines that were as tall as a mountain started to close in like a cricket cage. None of the cultivators caught in the vines were spared.
Not a single drop of blood was spat out as every cultivator that came into contact with the vine was sucked dry in a short period of time. Be it blood essence, soul or fleshly body.
There were only a few people who managed to escape like Wei Zidao.
"Pff!" Wei Zidao spat out a mouthful of blood before stopping. He took out a healing pill and swallowed it with great difficulty.
Behind him, the towering vine mountain had disappeared without a trace. The Vine Mountain of Safety seemed to have been compressed into the ground and there was no trace of it. The thousands of people that survived in the Vine Mountain of Safety had also disappeared without a trace.
A few cultivators that managed to escape with Wei Zidao hurried over when they saw Wei Zidao.
In the Sword Prison, it was better to have more people than less.
"Revered Lord Wei, what happened to the Vine Mountain of Safety?" A Quasi-Immortal Emperor with a pale face and blood stains all over his body asked.
If an Immortal Emperor couldn't even put up a fight against the vines of the Vine Mountain of Safety, how terrifying would the vines be? If he wasn't at the edge of the Vine Mountain of Safety, he wouldn't have survived either.
The rest of the survivors with weaker cultivations perked up their ears to listen. They too had no idea why such a thing would happen at the Vine Mountain of Safety.
Wei Zidao had already calmed down and said in a low voice, "It should be an ancient heart. If I'm not wrong, those vines are just the meridians in the heart. "
"We've been living in the same heart all this time?" someone exclaimed.
No one answered him as they all believed that Wei Zidao was not lying. Because the shape of the Vine Mountain of Safety was really similar to a heart.
Wei Zidao too, felt a lingering fear as he witnessed Shang Hegao and Pang Hong being sucked dry by the vines and perishing in the Vine Mountain of Safety. He was able to escape not only because he was stronger than Pang Hong and Shang Hegao, but also because of his decisiveness. However, this was not the key to his escape. The key to his escape was Mo Wuji's four Zhi Nature Pills.
The four Zhi Nature Pills allowed his primordial spirit and soul to be more complete than Pang Hong and Shang Hegao. In terms of strength, he recovered the fastest and the best.
It was also because his primordial spirit was more complete that he was able to burn his blood and lifespan to escape the Vine Mountain of Safety in an instant. In the end, he only lost a leg.
It seemed like they were right. Mo Wuji left the Vine Mountain of Safety early not only because they wanted to reclaim their territory, but also because Mo Wuji had long sensed that the Vine Mountain of Safety was not safe.
He recalled the time when he went to the Sword Qi River to collect water with Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji left the Vine Mountain of Safety, he seemed to be deep in thought. Thereafter, he purposely returned to the Vine Mountain of Safety and walked out again.
Now he understood that Mo Wuji had his suspicions at that time.
Previously, when Mo Wuji retreated so decisively, he thought that it was because Mo Wuji no longer had an alliance and that he had formed an alliance with Pang Hong and Shang Hegao. Now that he thought about it, that was not the case at all. Even if he did not form an alliance with Pang Hong and Shang Hegao, Mo Wuji would still have left the Vine Mountain of Safety. When they arrived at Mo Wuji's location, Mo Wuji was just about to leave. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
With Mo Wuji's array dao skills, if he was unwilling to leave, the three of them might not be able to break the array.
"Revered Lord Wei, where are we going now?" Amidst the silence, a cultivator took the initiative to ask.
Wei Zidao sighed and said, "The Immortal Hunters no longer exist. Everyone, just call me by my name. What Revered Lord? That's a joke."
This incident made him understand one thing. No matter how strong the forces in the Sword Prison were, when faced with a calamity that far exceeded their strength, all forces would be rendered useless.
"All of you, go and seek refuge with Sect Head Mo." Wei Zidao continued. He knew that these people had nowhere else to go other than to seek refuge with Mo Wuji.
"Senior Wei, are you not coming with us?" The cultivator who spoke asked curiously.
In reality, even though he asked Wei Zidao where they should go, he was very clear that there was nowhere else for them to go other than to seek refuge with Sect Head Mo Wuji.
Wei Zidao waved his hand, "All of you go, I won't be going."
With that, Wei Zidao's figure flashed and disappeared into the boundless Sword Prison. He was a late stage Immortal Emperor after all. Not long ago, he destroyed his alliance with Mo Wuji and chased Mo Wuji out of the Vine Mountain of Safety. Now, he had to beg Mo Wuji again. He couldn't bring himself to do so.
One must know that the territory he gave to Mo Wuji was exchanged for by Mo Wuji using the Zhi Nature Pill. In the end, Mo Wuji accepted it just like that. Regardless of whether Mo Wuji knew that the Vine Mountain of Safety was not safe, his actions were wrong. Moreover, who would listen to a late stage Immortal Emperor like him if he sought refuge with Mo Wuji?
After Wei Zidao left, the strongest person here was the Quasi-Emperor. Looking at Wei Zidao's disappearing figure, the Quasi-Emperor sighed and said, "Let's go, we will seek refuge with Sect Head Mo."
As a Quasi-Emperor and a member of the Devil Hand, he was well aware of the relationship between Mo Wuji and the three major powers of the Vine Mountain of Safety. He could understand why Wei Zidao didn't have the face to seek refuge with Mo Wuji.
…
"Ka Ka Ka!" Mo Wuji felt that the intensity of the sword qi had increased by multiple folds. The bones in his body started to crack inch by inch. The bone-piercing pain caused Mo Wuji to open his eyes and wake up completely.
He looked at his feet with some lingering fear. At this moment, one of his feet was actually standing at the edge of the whirlpool. The whirlpool actually didn't suck him in.
The boundless sword qi was sucked into his body by his physique tempering technique. Other than the boundless sword qi, there was also the boundless immortal spiritual energy here.
Mo Wuji instantly understood what was going on. The sword qi that could have sucked him into the whirlpool had all been absorbed by him. The whirlpool of sword qi temporarily disappeared around him, causing him to temporarily stop.
Now, he definitely couldn't allow his bones to completely shatter and reform. God Physique Level 4 wasn't Nirvana. He had already undergone Nirvana once. If all his bones were to shatter, he would never be able to enter God Physique Level 4 again. He might even be sucked into this whirlpool of sword qi.
Mo Wuji forcefully removed the distracting thoughts and the danger beneath his feet. He started to circulate his physique tempering technique and immortal mortal technique at full force. 108 minor circulations formed a major circulation. This major circulation merged with Mo Wuji's physique tempering technique and sucked away the dense immortal spiritual energy within the whirlpool of sword qi.
"Boom!" Mo Wuji's fleshly body had reached an extreme. A strong aura rushed out of his body, and his cracked bones and skin recovered in an instant.
The sword qi that had entered Mo Wuji's body was now blocked by Mo Wuji. The immortal elemental energy within his body rose rapidly. A shackle was broken and Mo Wuji's cultivation level charged into the intermediate Grand Luo Immortal Stage.
The berserk sword qi whirlpool swept over again. Mo Wuji hurriedly retreated. The sword qi whirlpool that could have sucked him away was completely absorbed by him.
His physique had advanced to God Physique Level 4. At the same time, his cultivation level had also risen to the intermediate Grand Luo Immortal Stage.
Mo Wuji was clear that with his current cultivation level, if he was sucked into the sword qi whirlpool, he would most likely die.
After retreating from the edge of the sword qi whirlpool, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye to look at the sword qi whirlpool. Under the sword qi whirlpool, that skeleton-like man had actually disappeared.
Mo Wuji's back was drenched in cold sweat. He hurriedly left. Before he reached the Immortal King Stage, he didn't dare to enter the sword qi whirlpool to take a look.
If he didn't have any special cultivation resources, it would be hard for him to advance to the Immortal King Stage in a short period of time. From the looks of it, he could go and see if the transfer array disc he threw outside Sword Prison had any response. Mo Wuji guessed that his transfer array disc wasn't of much use. Back then, he only did it to console himself. Since there was a way out, he had to think of any possible way out.
…
"May I know if Sect Head Mo is around?" That Quasi-Emperor brought four to five cultivators who escaped from the Vine Mountain of Safety to the desert where Mo Wuji was at.
Fei Ling walked out once again. Su Zi 'An and co. who were originally waiting at the plaza stood up as well.
"You're Brother Cha?" Fei Ling cried out in surprise when he saw the Quasi-Emperor in front of him.
He naturally knew who this Quasi-Emperor was. His name was Cha Rui. Previously, he was also a member of the Devil Hand. Why was he here now? Fei Ling looked at the few cultivators behind Cha Rui who were covered in wounds. His heart was filled with doubts.
"Immortal Friend Fei, long time no see." Cha Rui's voice was slightly hoarse. In the Devil Hand, his position was way higher than Fei Ling's. At this moment, he could only rejoice that he didn't offend Fei Ling.
"Brother Cha, why are you here? Are you planning to leave the Devil Hand like me? Aren't you afraid of Pang Hong? Aren't you afraid that you won't have the chance to return to the Vine Mountain of Safety? "Even now, Fei Ling still had lingering fears when he mentioned Pang Hong.
Cha Rui sighed, "The Vine Mountain of Safety is gone. The Devil Hand is gone too."
"What do you mean?" Fei Ling's face changed as he recalled the conversation between Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng. If the Vine Mountain of Safety was really dangerous, this place wasn't far from it.
