Chapter 1002: Mo Shen
“Sacred Lady, you must not!”
“Sacred Lady, Mo Xing might have exceptional battle merits this time and has formidable strength, but he is still too young and will not be able to convince everyone!”
“Sacred Lady, you might have to authority to appoint the position of a Deputy Elder, but the battle hall has a special status. You must not be careless in your decision. This matter must have the approval of the Grand Elder or the Patriarch. Why not appoint Mo Xing as the battle hall’s chief commander first? Or a Deputy Elder of another hall?”
“…”
Mo Yao’er’s order was objected by countless elders, and many of them were transmitted messages and trying to persuade her.
What a joke. They had been working hard for their entire life to become an elder or a deputy elder. How old was Mo Xing? How could he stand above them? Who would be convinced? If this order was made by Mo Shen or the Grand Elder, no one would have objections. However, Mo Yao’er was just a little female devil who didn’t know anything. She was obviously making a mess.
“Hmph!”
Mo Yao’er was unhappy. Her whip appeared in her hand, and her charming face had turned cold while she looked at everyone. She then shouted coldly, “Are you not convinced by this Sacred Lady? I would like to ask all of you. Which of you can rescue us from an army of ten thousand? Who can use a single move to kill Qiu Ming and a dozen of the Dwarf Race’s elders? Which of you can use a single move to freeze thousands of dwarfs? Alright, you can be unconvinced. Whoever can bring me the heads of thousands of dwarfs and dozens of Dwarf Race elders’ heads will be bestowed with the position of battle hall’s Deputy Elder. If you can’t, then… all of you, shut your mouth! Hmph!”
All the elders were speechless. There might be people that had reached the Five-Star rank’s strength, but if they had to kill into the Dwarf Race’s army alone, they would certainly end up dead.
Most importantly, Mo Yao’er’s black whip was lit up, and they knew that Mo Yao’er was truly infuriated. If they said anything else, this little female devil might disregard everything and make a move.
“Elder Mo Fu, go make the arrangements for Mo Xing’s dwellings. Send men to guard the door to death. If anyone dares to provoke Mo Xing, immediately report to me.”
Mo Yao’er brandished the whip in her hand with overflowing killing aura. She then nodded to Mo Xing before flying into the Heaven Devil Palace. She didn’t ask Jiang Yi to stay in the Heaven Devil Palace again. After all, it was her lineage’s residence; and no outsider was able to reside in it. It was a rule set by Mo Shen.
“Mo Xing, follow me!”
Mo Fu didn’t say anything earlier and beckoned his hand at Jiang Yi without any expression. Under the countless eyes, Jiang Yi followed Mo Fu and flew to the castle complex below with fear.
When many people saw Jiang Yi’s behavior, they revealed mocking expressions and thought that this was Mo Yao’er stirring trouble. Since the Grand Elder didn’t say anything, they couldn’t say anything either. They had no choice but to wait for Mo Shen to return and discuss.
Jiang Yi had been brought to a solitary castle. Mo Tian and the others didn’t stay together with him, which gave him relief. If he had too many interactions with Mo Tian’s siblings, there would inevitably be flaws. It was better to live alone.
The castle was luxurious, and there were four maidservants inside and two guards at the door. After Mo Fu informed some things, Jiang Yi sat in the castle for a moment before he walked out and went to Mo Tian and his family’s dwelling.
Mo Tian and the family were residing in a small place, but to be able to reside on the seventeenth level was a symbol of status. This place’s heaven and earth essence force was more than 200 times more concentrated than the outside and was greatly beneficial for cultivation.
Jiang Yi had come over naturally for outsiders to see. He had some casual conversations and returned to his castle. He activated the room’s restriction and entered cultivation seclusion.
A war might break out at any moment. Jiang Yi had secluded himself to cultivate to avoid getting summoned by Mo Shen. If Mo Shen didn’t summon him, he wouldn’t want to meet Mo Shen for his entire life. Jiang Yi merely wanted to make use of the Heaven Devil Race to eradicate the Dwarf Race.
“This place’s essence force concentration is around 250 times as compared to the outside. My cultivation speed will reach 2500 times in this place. It is considered not bad!”
Jiang Yi entered the Union of Heaven and Man state to cultivate and sense. He was rather satisfied with the cultivation speed and had been carefully sensing the surrounding situation. He wanted to prevent any experts from scouting in and discovering the nine star spheres in his dantian.
After scouting for half a day, Jiang Yi was slightly relieved. This castle’s restriction was rather good, and normal people’s divine senses wouldn’t be able to extend inside. Unless it was Mo Shen personally scouting. Since Mo Shen was only going to return after a few days, Jiang Yi relaxed and cultivated.
A few days had pa.s.sed in an instant, but Mo Shen had yet to return. The Heaven Devil Race’s elders let out a breath of relief because the Mammoth Race army which was garrisoned in the south had actually withdrawn, and the Dwarf Race didn’t muster an army to take revenge.
Five days later, a piece of news was sent back to the Heaven Devil Mountain which excited all the Heaven Devil Race members. Mo Shen had gone to the Tiger Subdue Mountain and formed an alliance with the no.2 ranked Snow Region Ten Sects, the Tiger Subdue Sect.
The Tiger Subdue Sect Patriarch, Cao Peiwen, personally ordered the Dwarf Race Patriarch to make a trip to Tiger Subdue Mountain. No one knew what they had discussed, but the Dwarf Race army had been mobilized had all been withdrawn. The Mammoth Race’s army had also been withdrawn, and the imminent battle had been ceased.
The entire Heaven Devil Mountain had been flared up. After forming an alliance with the Tiger Subdue Sect, who would dare to attack the Heaven Devil Mountain in the future? This time, the Dwarf Race might have ambushed Mo Yao’er and killed many Heaven Devil Race’s members, but the Dwarf Race had more casualties. A few dozen elders had perished, and even their Young Patriarch had been killed. This was actually a huge victory for the Heaven Devil Race.
The Dwarf Race’s young patriarch had been killed, and they didn’t dare to take revenge. The Dwarf Race’s prestige had surely been weakened while the Heaven Devil Race’s prestige had been strengthened.
After Mo Yao’er obtained this piece of news, she immediately came to look for Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi exited seclusion and met with her, but after knowing the news, he couldn’t get happy at all. He wasn’t afraid of war. Without the war, how was he going to make use of the Heaven Devil Race to eliminate the Dwarf Race?
However, Mo Shen had already sent orders back, forbidding the Heaven Devil Race to start a battle with the Dwarf Race when venturing out. Jiang Yi had no choice either as he couldn’t just go kill recklessly by himself, right?
Mo Shen was about to return, and Jiang Yi didn’t dare to act recklessly. He made Mo Yao’er leave and secluded himself again. This time, he was very careful and would always use the Union of Heaven and Man state to scout closely. As soon as there was some commotion, he would immediately stop cultivating.
Three days later, Jiang Yi felt a horrific pressure that descended from above the castle. His body s.h.i.+vered as he quickly stopped cultivating and used the Mirage Divine Ability to conceal his dantian. At the same time, he immediately opened his eyes and extended his divine senses out.
As expected…!
A black figure appeared in the sky above. That person had a face that was like a forged blade; he had eyes like lightning and a nose which was like the mountain. His aura presence was ma.s.sive like a dragon or elephant. The deepest impression he made was the black battle armor on his body which had mysterious patterns. This should be an extremely incredible defensive ancient artifact, and the defensive strength was definitely tougher than spirit-connected cardinal treasures.
“Greetings to Sect Patriarch!”
Countless elders soared to the sky and bowed with cupped hands. Jiang Yi originally didn’t want to go out, but he noticed that Mo Shen’s divine senses had drifted across him. Jiang Yi had no choice but to fly out of the castle and stand in the air above the courtyard and bowed with cupped hands.
“En!”
Mo Shen’s eyes scanned around with lightning speed and finally rested on Jiang Yi. At that moment, Jiang Yi’s entire body had tensed up, and he was so nervous that he was preparing to release the Astral Winds Divine s.h.i.+eld and escape with the Heaven Evasion.
Mo Shen’s eyes paused on Jiang Yi for ten breaths of time, causing Jiang Yi’s clothes to be completely drenched. Mo Yao’er stood beside Mo Shen and constantly wriggled her lips as she was obviously transmitting a message.
“Very well!”
After listening to Mo Yao’er’s transmitted message, Mo Shen nodded slightly and revealed a subtle smile while saying, “It is our race’s blessing to produce such a prodigy. You are Mo Xing, right? Cultivate well. When you reach the peak stage of Heaven Monarch, this King shall bestow the position of Battle Hall Deputy Elder to you. If you can reach the DemiG.o.d Realm, my precious daughter can also be married to you.”
“Wow!”
Countless elders were in an uproar. Many young masters’ expression had also changed. Mo Yao’er’s face was flushed red, and she kept on shaking Mo Shen’s hand and acting coquettishly. Jiang Yi’s body had s.h.i.+vered drastically, not because of Mo Shen’s words, but because of Mo Shen’s final glance at him. It made Jiang Yi feel as though all his secrets had been seen through.
