Chapter 522 - 274: Taking the Initiative to Save Mo Qingxue
But he hadn’t taken it seriously at all.
After all, Mo Qingxue hadn’t sworn a Dao Heart vow. Such promises were always just words and couldn’t be taken seriously.
But he never expected...
...that Mo Qingxue would risk making a secret deal with Western Cultivators just to help him achieve Core Formation.
Li Chang’an immediately asked, "Why was she trapped by the Western Cultivators? Did they go back on their word?"
"That’s right. The Western Cultivator who made the deal with Elder Qingxue is an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator from Mandarin Duck Valley named Fan Zhou."
Almost all cultivators from Mandarin Duck Valley in the Western Domain practice Dual Cultivation Techniques.
When Fan Zhou saw Mo Qingxue’s stunning beauty and exceptional bearing, a wicked idea took root in his mind. He tore up their agreement and trapped her with an Array.
Now, Mo Qingxue remains trapped within the Array.
It’s a Tier Three Low Grade Array.
She can hold out for now but can’t break the Array. If this goes on, her Magical Power will eventually be completely depleted.
That was why she used a Communication Treasure to have Mo Hong find Jiang Muyu.
Mo Hong asked anxiously, "Daoist Li, do you really not know where Elder Jiang went?"
"I don’t. But her help won’t be necessary."
Li Chang’an shook his head slightly. "Daoist Mo, give me the Communication Treasure. I have a way to save Elder Mo."
"Alright!"
Mo Hong didn’t hesitate, immediately taking out a Jade Pendant.
Li Chang’an took the Jade Pendant. Without another word, he transformed into a streak of light, leaving Changqing Mountain and heading straight for the Two Realms Battlefield.
Along the way, he began the Refinement of the Jade Pendant and sent a Sound Transmission through it.
"Elder Mo, tell me your location."
"Li Chang’an?"
The Jade Pendant grew slightly warm as Mo Qingxue’s voice echoed from within.
"Is Jiang Muyu by your side?"
"She’s not."
"Are you planning to come alone?"
"Elder Mo, the situation is urgent. Just trust me."
"Alright."
Mo Qingxue didn’t hesitate for long. She knew Li Chang’an had always cherished his own life.
’If he dared to come to the rescue, he must be confident.’
Therefore, she directly told him her location.
Once he had the location, Li Chang’an’s Speed surged as he pushed his Escape Technique to its limits.
Before long, Mo Qingxue’s voice rang out again. "Li Chang’an, that Fan Zhou has a Tier Three Early Stage poisonous scorpion that can release a Tier Three poison. Do you have a way to deal with it?"
"I do. Don’t worry, Elder Mo!"
Li Chang’an wasn’t concerned. His Ten Thousand Poison Gu had already advanced to Tier Three, which was more than enough to handle most Tier Three poisons.
Besides, he was a Tier Three Middle Grade Alchemist and could refine a variety of Antitoxic Pills.
His Speed unabated, he raced toward the place where Mo Qingxue was trapped.
Before he knew it, night had fallen.
The Divination appeared again.
[Divination has been refreshed]
[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]
[You rush to the Two Realms Battlefield, successfully rescue Mo Qingxue, and slay the Mandarin Duck Valley’s Golden Core Master, Fan Zhou. In his Storage Pouch, you obtain the Core Formation Spiritual Object, the Golden Scale Flower.]
’An Auspicious Trigram. Not bad!’
Li Chang’an’s mind was completely at ease, and he continued on his way.
「Several hours later.」
He finally arrived at the Two Realms Battlefield.
Though called a battlefield, it was really just a border region between the Two Domains. It had originally belonged to the Southern Domain, but the Western Domain’s army had since fought its way here.
Mo Qingxue was trapped in an Ancient Cave Mansion deep within this battlefield.
Before long, Li Chang’an approached the Ancient Cave Mansion.
He activated the Refining Shadow Invisible Technique, and his figure and aura vanished instantly as he stealthily approached the Ancient Cave Mansion.
However, a Tier Three Grand Array stood outside the cave mansion.
It was only Tier Three Low Grade.
Li Chang’an could break it with ease.
But the moment he did, Fan Zhou, who controlled the Array, would surely notice.
’A sneak attack won’t work. I’ll have to force my way in.’
After observing for a moment, Li Chang’an forced his way in, shattering the Array in an instant!
His Speed undiminished, he headed straight for where Mo Qingxue was trapped.
At the same time, an angry voice echoed from the depths of the cave mansion.
"Who broke my Array?"
Li Chang’an didn’t answer. He transformed into a streak of light, arriving in the depths of the cave mansion in an instant.
Before him was another Tier Three Grand Array.
「At this moment.」
Mo Qingxue was trapped inside the Array.
She was in terrible condition. Her face was pale, her lips were a purplish-blue color—she was clearly poisoned.
Furthermore, her aura was extremely faint and her Magical Power was feeble. She seemed to be on her last legs, struggling to hold on inside the Array and constantly fending off waves of Array Power.
「Outside the Array.」
Stood a corpulent man.
It was none other than the Golden Core Master from Mandarin Duck Valley, Fan Zhou!
His face was a mask of fury as he bellowed, "Are you a Southern Domain Cultivator?"
Li Chang’an ignored him again, flashing into the Array to appear at Mo Qingxue’s side.
The moment she saw him, Mo Qingxue’s perpetually tense body finally relaxed a little.
"Li Chang’an, give me a few recovery Elixir Pills."
"Alright."
Li Chang’an tossed her a Storage Pouch directly. It contained all sorts of Elixir Pills, allowing Mo Qingxue to choose for herself.
He then turned his attention to the Array trapping Mo Qingxue.
This Array was more profound than the one outside the cave mansion, but it was still just a Tier Three Low Grade Array.
The various Array Patterns, which seemed impossibly complex, were nothing special in Li Chang’an’s eyes.
Meanwhile, Fan Zhou, outside the Array, was also observing him.
When he saw that Li Chang’an only had the aura of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, he let out a cold laugh.
"I thought some great expert had arrived, but it’s just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. No wonder I’ve never seen you before! A mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator wants to play the hero saving the damsel in distress? Aren’t you afraid of losing your life in the process?"
The moment his voice fell, the aura of his Early Stage of Golden Core cultivation suddenly erupted.
He suspected Li Chang’an possessed a Tier Three Array-Breaking Treasure—otherwise, it would have been impossible to break the Array outside the cave mansion so quickly. Thus, he decided to attack personally.
He would use his Golden Core Magical Power to forcibly suppress Li Chang’an!
「Inside the Array.」
Mo Qingxue’s expression turned grave as she struggled to gather her Magical Power.
