Soon, the originally quiet Underground Hall became noisy as the servants of the Feng Family were called here. Seeing this place, which they had previously been completely unaware of, they began to discuss it enthusiastically.
“Ahem!” The Wind Family Head coughed, and all voices immediately ceased. The members of the Feng Family turned to look at the Wind Family Head in unison.
At this moment, the Wind Family Head naturally could not afford to keep them in suspense any longer and directly said, “The Ling Mo Xie we captured today has escaped. I believe you all understand the seriousness of this matter. However, I suspect he has not yet run out of this complex maze in front of the main hall. Go in and capture him for me!”
“There’s no time to waste! You all hurry and take action!” Wind Second Master also spoke up.
Seeing all the Feng Family members enter the maze-like passage, the Wind Family Head finally let out a sigh of relief and said, “Now, we must see what fate has in store for us! We should also go in to provide timely support for them.”
“Hmm, that Ling Mo Xie has considerable cultivation; he is not as weak as rumored outside. Just those Guardians and House Servants probably wouldn’t be able to handle him even if they found him!” Wind Second Master nodded in agreement, and the two followed into the maze-like passage.
After Ling Mo Xie entered the passage with Shangguan Ying'er, in order to avoid encountering the Wind Family Head and Wind Second Master who were heading towards the Underground Hall, even though he remembered the correct way out, he could only choose incorrectly.
After wandering around, he had no idea where he had ended up.
The passage was not only complex but also filled with nearly identical rocky walls. After taking a wrong turn, Ling Mo Xie completely lost his sense of direction.
“What do we do now?” Shangguan Ying'er asked helplessly, tightly gripping Ling Mo Xie's hand.
At this moment, those Feng Family Servants and Guardians also entered the passage, and footsteps could be heard from time to time.
“It’s fine; with so many footsteps, it can’t be the Wind Family Head and Wind Second Master. It seems they have brought others in to look for us. Our only task now is to find an exit,” Ling Mo Xie said calmly. He then continued, “I’ve memorized the path we took here; if I can reach a familiar place, I’ll be able to find a way out.”
“Ha...” At that moment, a Feng Family Servant suddenly appeared in front of Ling Mo Xie and Shangguan Ying'er. He was about to burst into laughter and shout loudly when he was killed by Ling Mo Xie's Shattering the Sky technique.
“Quickly go; this place is no longer safe!” Ling Mo Xie said to Shangguan Ying'er as he looked at the body of the fallen Feng Family House Servant on the ground. He pulled her along quickly towards another connected passage.
He secretly rejoiced, thankful that he had reacted quickly. The cultivation level of this House Servant was not high, and he was able to kill him instantly. Otherwise, if he attracted the Wind Family Head and the Wind Second Master, he would be walking into a trap.
The passage was now filled with many Feng Family House Servants and Guardians, forcing Ling Mo Xie to be more cautious. Whenever he encountered those House Servants and Guardians, he could only kill them as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he would just have to wait for the Wind Family Head and the Wind Second Master to come and kill him!
This was an easy choice, and naturally, Ling Mo Xie chose the former.
"This is it! I know! Follow me, and we can escape soon!" Ling Mo Xie said, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the passage ahead before turning to Shangguan Ying'er.
"Really?" A look of surprise appeared on Shangguan Ying'er's face. They had been wandering in this passage for a long time and often encountered Feng Family Servants and Guardians. Even though they had killed many of them, it was becoming hard for them to continue doing so.
"Alright, since you know the way now, hurry up and lead us! We must not be found by the Wind Family Head at this last moment!" Hong Chi quickly flew up and said to Ling Mo Xie.
Since they had reached a familiar place, things became easier. Ling Mo Xie led the two of them through twists and turns until they arrived in front of a heavy Stone Door.
"This is it! If we go through this Stone Door, we should reach the Feng Family's backyard," Ling Mo Xie said to Hong Chi and Shangguan Ying'er as he looked at the Stone Door.
"How do we open this Stone Door?" At that moment, Shangguan Ying'er asked the crucial question.
Indeed, when they entered, Ling Mo Xie had only seen the Wind Family Head open this Stone Door from the outside. He really didn't know how to open it from the inside.
"Let's search for a mechanism; there should be something," Ling Mo Xie said after a moment of hesitation to the two of them.
The three began to explore the surrounding stone walls but found nothing. Just then, two Feng Family House Servants and Guardians who had come together spotted them and instinctively opened their mouths to shout.
Fortunately, Shangguan Ying'er and Ling Mo Xie acted simultaneously, preventing them from making a sound.
"Damn it! Are we really going to be trapped by a small Stone Door? This Stone Door is so heavy that one strike probably won't open it, but we only have one chance; otherwise, Wind Family Head and Wind Second Master will be alerted!" Ling Mo Xie punched the rock wall beside the Stone Door, causing it to tremble a few times.
Ling Mo Xie was momentarily stunned, then laughed.
"Right! How did I not think of this? The stone wall is so solid, but the wall might not be!"
Ling Mo Xie slightly circulated his Spiritual Energy again and patted the rock wall. Dust and small stones fell from it, making Ling Mo Xie realize that this rock wall was much less sturdy compared to the Stone Door!
"You don't need to search anymore! I have a plan!" Ling Mo Xie said to Shangguan Ying'er and Hong Chi, wearing a smile as he continued, "Since we can't go through the door, let's break through the wall!"
After saying that, he focused his mind and unleashed a skill called Shocking Return to Ruins on the wall.
With a loud crash, a large hole was blasted into the rock wall, and debris tumbled down.
Without any hesitation, Ling Mo Xie grabbed Shangguan Ying'er and said "Go!" before flying out with her, while Hong Chi transformed into a ball of flame and quickly followed.
The massive noise from the collapsing rock wall also caught the attention of Wind Family Head and Wind Second Master.
"This is bad! They've escaped!" Wind Family Head's expression changed as he shouted.
"Quickly pursue them!" he instructed Wind Second Master, then hurriedly made his way toward the exit.
By the time they caught up, they could only see a giant bird carrying the figures of Ling Mo Xie and others disappearing into the night sky.
The speed was such that even they could only watch in despair!
"It's over!" The head of the Feng family said dejectedly as he sat down on the ground, murmuring to himself, "It's over, it's over! Everything is ruined; the foundation of the Feng family is about to be destroyed by my hands!"
Feng Er Ye stared blankly at the night sky where Ling Mo Xie and the others had vanished. After a while, he suddenly turned to the head of the Feng family and said, "Elder brother, let's escape tonight. Once we leave the Yun Kingdom, Ling Mo Xie won't have the ability to do anything to us!"
"Leave? We can leave, but we can't take the entire Feng family with us!" The head of the Feng family, perhaps accustomed to his role as the patriarch, was still considering things from the family's perspective.
"This... are we really just going to wait for death?" Feng Er Ye said somewhat discontentedly. At such a time, one should prioritize their own life!
Seeing that the head of the Feng family did not respond to his suggestion, Feng Er Ye said to him, "Elder brother, if you truly don't want to leave, then I will go back to my room and enjoy my last moments."
After saying this, without waiting for a response from the head of the Feng family, he turned and left.
Upon returning to his room, it was not as he had claimed about enjoying himself; instead, he quickly packed his belongings and took advantage of the night to leave the Feng family estate.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie and Shangguan Ying'er had already flown above the palace. Looking at the brilliantly lit palace before them, they both let out a long sigh of relief; they were safe.
"Let's go down!" Ling Mo Xie said to Shangguan Ying'er and prepared to have Xiao Peng take them down into the palace.
However, Shangguan Ying'er shook her head, pulling her hand away from Ling Mo Xie's grasp. With anger in her eyes, she said, "Since the Feng family dared to capture me, they must be prepared to pay the price. If I don't retaliate against them, they'll truly underestimate my Azure Emperor Sect!"
After saying this, she bid farewell to Ling Mo Xie and lightly flew up towards a similarly brightly lit tall building in the city.
Ling Mo Xie stroked his chin and smiled as he said, "In that case, since I kindly offered alchemy services to the Yun Kingdom but their subjects dared to capture me and plot against me, shouldn't I seek some justice?"
"This is only natural! Let's go find the King of the Cloud Nation right now!" Xiao Chi exclaimed excitedly, his eyes shining upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words.
Ling Mo Xie shook his head helplessly; this was someone who thrived on chaos!
Xiao Peng glided down into the palace, and Ling Mo Xie led Xiao Chi towards the King of the Cloud Nation's chambers. It was already night, and the King should be resting by now.
However, he couldn't care less about that. Today's events had truly infuriated him. Although it was due to his own offense against the Feng family, killing Feng Yi Xing was also for the sake of the Cloud Nation. The King of the Cloud Nation should at least show some acknowledgment, right?
Ling Mo Xie moved through the palace without obstruction and quickly found the King of the Cloud Nation...
At this moment, the night was deepening, with stars obscuring the moon. In front of the desolate Feng residence, many soldiers were gathered. The King of the Cloud Nation stood at the door alongside Ling Mo Xie and Xiao Chi, who wore an excited expression.
Now that he had a powerful backing, Xiao Chi felt he had nothing to worry about. In a fit of excitement, he summoned a fire dragon that crashed into the luxurious redwood door of the Feng family. The fire dragon shot straight up into the sky before dispersing like fireworks, dazzling as it vanished.
"Feng Yu Lin! Come out and explain what is going on!" The King of the Cloud Nation's authoritative voice carried great weight; his own power was not insignificant either. His shout echoed through the air like thunder.
"Oh? So the King has arrived!" At that moment, a voice came from above. Everyone looked up to see a group of people dressed in Azure Emperor's attire, with Shangguan Ying Er among them, standing next to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was in charge of the Azure Emperor's branch in the capital of the Cloud Nation and could be considered an elder with late-stage Fusion cultivation, ranking among the most powerful individuals in the capital.
