Seeing the actions of Wind Second Master, Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but smile. Should he call him foolish or just plain stupid?
After the blade light made contact with the white light, there was almost no resistance as it continued to fly forward, while the white light enveloped Wind Second Master in his astonished gaze.
"What... what is this?" Wind Second Master felt himself unable to move, instantly filled with shock and anger as he loudly questioned Ling Mo Xie.
As an enemy, Ling Mo Xie naturally wouldn't kindly answer him. At that moment, after using the Condensation Technique, he had already activated the Floating Shadow skill and was flying away into the distance.
Wind Second Master saw that in the blink of an eye, Ling Mo Xie had almost run away faster than Ying Er. He secretly blamed himself for being too careless; he had let a duck that was almost in his grasp fly away.
However, he wasn't too worried because he knew that the family head placed great importance on this operation and had already made all necessary arrangements to ensure that Ling Mo Xie wouldn't have a chance to escape!
At this moment, Zhou Butler, who was carrying Shangguan Ying'er, had also caught up. Seeing Wind Second Master standing still and noticing that Ling Mo Xie's figure had vanished, he couldn't help but feel puzzled and quickly approached to inquire.
The effect of the Condensation Technique on Wind Second Master didn't last long and soon dissipated. Wind Second Master turned to Zhou Butler and said, "That kid got away. However, the family head has probably set up a trap waiting for him! Let's take this girl back first!"
Shangguan Ying'er did not struggle; she was only at the Nascent Soul Stage now, and struggling would be futile.
Upon hearing that Ling Mo Xie had escaped, Shangguan Ying'er relaxed her expression. But upon hearing Wind Second Master's next words, her brows furrowed again.
After immobilizing Wind Second Master, Ling Mo Xie ran off without hesitation, thinking about how Shangguan Ying'er was still in the hands of Feng Family's people. He flew straight towards the Palace, preparing to seek help.
Although he claimed not to want to rely on others in front of Wind Second Master, in this situation, he couldn't act recklessly!
However, just as Ling Mo Xie found his direction and was about to fly out of the forest, a voice leisurely rang out: "Where do you think you're going?"
Ling Mo Xie didn't even have time to see who it was before turning to run in another direction. However, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his body and couldn't move at all; he fell directly to the ground.
"Damn it, another pressure!" Ling Mo Xie looked at the System displaying his immobilized state and shouted in frustration. Why did it seem like anyone could exert pressure on him?
"Are you also from Feng Family?" Realizing the situation, Ling Mo Xie decided not to waste any more effort and obediently stayed on the ground as he asked the approaching elder.
The so-called old man actually did not look very old; he was strong and robust, with a somewhat imposing appearance. Dressed in a Brocade Robe, his face radiated a Red Light, exuding an air of authority that suggested he had long held a high position.
"Yes! You're heading to the Palace, aren't you?" The old man glanced down at Ling Mo Xie and then looked ahead. Beyond the forest, over the palace wall, was the Palace.
Ling Mo Xie sighed, wishing he could move just a bit faster.
"Hmph! I enjoy watching my enemies' hopes seem within reach yet remain utterly unattainable," the old man said with a strange laugh, appearing quite pleased.
"Who says I'm disappointed? Don't be so self-righteous!" Ling Mo Xie retorted, pouting at the old man. Although he felt somewhat disappointed, he would never do anything to please his enemy.
"Do whatever you want—kill or torture; it's up to you!" Ling Mo Xie turned his neck away and said to the old man.
Yet inside, he began to contemplate how to escape. He liked enemies who engaged in pointless banter; it gave him time to turn the situation around.
"Hmph! Want to die? It's not that easy!"
The old man snorted coldly and said, "Last time in Blazing City, you borrowed a knife from the Feng Family to kill someone and made fools of my Feng Family members. You embarrassed us enough, and now you dare take Yi Xing's life!"
"Do you know how important Yi Xing is to my Feng Family? He's young but holds a high position and is among the top talents of our younger generation. He is almost seen as the pillar of the next generation of the Feng Family. If he dies, many other families will be watching us closely!"
The old man expressed his dissatisfaction toward Ling Mo Xie but then laughed again: "I don't know if you're fearless because you're young or just plain foolish. Killing Feng Yi Xing and still daring to come to the capital—I must admit I admire your courage!"
"Pfft! What's there to be afraid of? Bring it on!" Ling Mo Xie scoffed.
The old man, who had been rambling on, suddenly looked down at him and smiled: "Don't panic. It took me a long time to catch you; how could I let you die so quickly? Come back with me!"
As he spoke, he activated his Spiritual Energy and reached out toward Ling Mo Xie. Suddenly, a semi-transparent giant hand appeared in the air and grabbed Ling Mo Xie directly.
The old man chuckled as he lifted Ling Mo Xie into the air.
Before long, the old man brought Ling Mo Xie back to the Feng Family estate. At this moment, the Feng Family was eerily quiet. Seeing this scene made the old man's expression grow colder, and his gaze toward Ling Mo Xie became even more fierce.
The old man led Ling Mo Xie through the Feng Family Courtyard, navigating the maze-like pavilions and towers, amidst the rockeries and flowing water. Before long, they arrived at a small artificial waterfall.
Without any hesitation, the old man pressed a seemingly inconspicuous bump on a rock beside the waterfall, causing the entire waterfall to stop flowing and revealing a stone door.
The stone door slowly opened automatically. The old man took Ling Mo Xie inside, while the stone door gradually closed behind them.
Ling Mo Xie was left in awe, amazed by the high technology!
At this moment, the old man paid no attention to Ling Mo Xie's surprise. He continued to lead Ling Mo Xie down a passageway along the stone walls. This passage was also winding and complex, with many twists and turns. Anyone unfamiliar with it would surely get lost in no time.
Ling Mo Xie silently memorized the route taken by the old man; he had not given up on the idea of escaping.
Of course, giving up meant death. Who would willingly choose to abandon their life?
The old man was very familiar with this winding passage and soon brought Ling Mo Xie to a large hall.
This hall, surrounded by stone walls, was quite simple. A circle of iron cages lined the walls, and almost all of them contained people. Many looked disheveled and ragged, barely resembling humans anymore.
Seeing such a scene sent a chill down Ling Mo Xie's spine. What kind of torment had these people endured? Each one was emaciated, their eyes lifeless, looking as if they wished for death. Their hands were shackled to the ends of the cages, unable to move, and their cultivation had been completely wasted; they were practically useless.
“Mo Xie!” Shangguan Ying'er’s voice came from a corner. Ling Mo Xie quickly looked over and saw that she was temporarily unharmed, which relieved him.
“Go inside!” The old man opened one of the cages and threw Ling Mo Xie inside.
“Big Brother, you really brought him back! Haha! Kid, how was it? Was escaping fun?” At that moment, Wind Second Master emerged from one of the many passageways in the hall and spoke to the old man and Ling Mo Xie.
Seeing Wind Second Master's smug expression made Ling Mo Xie want to slap him dead. However, now that he himself was trapped, he naturally lacked that ability.
But he still couldn't help but taunt Wind Second Master: “It was quite fun. What about you? Do you want to give it a try? Don’t worry; I think you'll have a chance to play this game in the near future!”
“You! Hmph! Always so sharp-tongued! Now that you've fallen into my hands, let's see how you can still be so arrogant!” Wind Second Master indeed lived up to Ling Mo Xie's expectations and got angry, waving his sleeve as he spoke.
"Master of the House, Second Master, His Majesty has summoned the ministers to discuss military strategies! You see..."
Just as Second Master Feng picked up a whip nearby, preparing to lash out at Ling Mo Xie to vent his anger, a person resembling a house servant walked in and spoke to them.
The head of the Feng family glanced at Ling Mo Xie and said to Second Master Feng, "Let's go, we shouldn't keep His Majesty waiting. If we lose our standing, our Feng family will be at a disadvantage in court. It's best not to offend the royal family."
"Hmph! Kid, consider yourself lucky. If you had fallen into our hands, you definitely wouldn't have a good outcome! For now, I'll let you off!" Second Master Feng tossed aside the whip and followed the head of the Feng family out.
"Fortunately, both of them hold official positions in court. Mo Xie, why did you provoke them? Now that we're in their hands, it's best not to anger them further. We should act according to the situation!"
Shangguan Ying'er watched as the two from the Feng family left and then patted her chest, worriedly speaking to Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie shrugged nonchalantly, "Isn't killing Feng Yixing enough to provoke them? Even if I don't take advantage of this situation, they won't let me go anyway. It’s better to annoy them a bit more! If it weren't for the effort it takes to insult someone, I'd make their ears sore from all my cursing!"
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Shangguan Ying'er was speechless. She kicked her iron cage and said, "What do we do now? Although they haven't had time to restrict our powers yet, this cage is very sturdy. I've tried several times and left no marks at all. Now that neither the Azure Emperor nor the King of Outcloud knows we've been captured by the Feng family, are we really going to let them do as they please?"
Ling Mo Xie circulated his spiritual energy and struck the cage with a wave of his hand. The cage emitted a clear vibrating sound but showed no signs of damage; instead, Ling Mo Xie's hand was left stinging from the impact.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's actions, a middle-aged man with vacant eyes in the adjacent cage spoke up: "You all should stop wasting your efforts. This is forged from Eastern Bin Xuan Iron. Eastern Bin Xuan Iron is a level seven refining material with dual attributes of ice and gold; it cannot be melted by any fire that isn't of supreme yang. Your small attacks infused with spiritual energy are naturally ineffective against this cage."
