"This... this Ling Mo Xie is not like an ordinary person. He is..." Cang Qian was still earnestly advising.
He understood Ling Mo Xie better than Master of Shenwu Sect. When they first met, Ling Mo Xie was indeed remarkable, but he had not reached this level today. His growth rate was terrifying; if they accidentally let him escape, it would likely turn into a huge disaster for them!
However, Divine Martial Sect Master dismissed Cang Qian's advice. After all, he was just a kid in the Separation Period. Now that he was enveloped by their great formation, what waves could he possibly make?
He was extremely confident in his formation.
Therefore, Divine Martial Sect Master simply said to Cang Qian: "I appreciate your idea that helped us capture Ling Mo Xie, but don't think you can dictate how I handle him. Since he killed my disciple, I will make him pay a sufficient price and die in fear!"
"By the way, wasn't your son also killed by Ling Mo Xie? Do you really think it's enough to just let him die easily?" Divine Martial Sect Master glanced at Cang Qian with a mocking tone.
"This..." Cang Qian felt somewhat troubled. He was genuinely frightened by Ling Mo Xie's strangeness. Otherwise, he would have wanted to torture Ling Mo Xie thoroughly before killing him to relieve his resentment!
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie could not hear their conversation and was puzzled as to why they had stopped talking. His eyes were darting around as he rummaged through his messy backpack, trying to find something that could help him escape.
"Right, this might be worth a try. But what about the flowers we used? What about Hong Chi and the others? Am I supposed to leave them here? There are still Divine Martial Sect Master and Cang Qian here; if I run away, will they harm Hong Chi?"
Ling Mo Xie looked anxiously at the Return Token lying in his backpack and muttered to himself.
This was the only spatial item he found in his backpack that could ignore the formation and take him away. However, since Hong Chi and Chen Yan were not around, he hesitated.
The conversation between Divine Martial Sect Master and Cang Qian did not last long; soon they reached a consensus that they could not let Ling Mo Xie die so easily without any torment.
They quickly approached Ling Mo Xie, who finally snapped out of his dilemma. With an indifferent expression, he looked at Divine Martial Sect Master and Cang Qian, a sarcastic smile on his lips as he said, "You really brought a little dog to deal with an old dog; you are quite capable!"
"You!" Although Cang Qian had previously been rationally advising Divine Martial Sect Master, seeing Ling Mo Xie's face made it hard for him to remain calm.
"Hmph, enjoy your verbal advantage now; soon I will make you regret it!" Cang Qian said ominously to Ling Mo Xie.
At this moment, however, Divine Martial Sect Master appeared very calm. He did not react to Ling Mo Xie's words but instead said to Cang Qian: "Hey, how can you get angry with him? Getting upset is your own loss! Now that he has fallen into our hands, how you want to deal with him is entirely up to you! Haha!"
Saying this, the Divine Martial Sect Master glanced at Ling Mo Xie, wanting to see fear on his face.
However, he did not get the result he wanted; Ling Mo Xie still appeared calm and indifferent.
What he did not know was that the moment Ling Mo Xie saw them approaching, he had made up his mind to start using the Return Token.
But the Return Token required a reading time, so Ling Mo Xie could only engage in meaningless chatter with them to buy some time.
At this moment, the reading time for the Return Token was just about to be completed, so Ling Mo Xie did not respond to the Divine Martial Sect Master's gaze but instead focused intently on the progress bar.
This attitude infuriated the Divine Martial Sect Master. How could it be that in such a dire situation, there was not even a hint of fear? How could that satisfy his anger? He wanted Ling Mo Xie to die in fear!
In a fit of rage, the Divine Martial Sect Master kicked Ling Mo Xie in the stomach. Ling Mo Xie flew out like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
However, because this place had been arranged with a formation, the ground showed no signs of damage despite such a violent impact.
That kick, fueled by the Divine Martial Sect Master's anger, was not light; it infused his Spiritual Energy and was powerful enough to shatter gold and jade!
Fortunately, Ling Mo Xie was also a Cultivator and had the System with him. Therefore, although his Health Points dropped sharply and he felt intense pain in his stomach, he did not lose his life from that kick.
"Damn it!" Ling Mo Xie's eyes flickered with sparks of anger. Because of that kick, the reading of the Return Token was interrupted and had to start over. To make matters worse, his Small Blood Pool's Health Points were completely depleted. If he received another couple of kicks like that, he would undoubtedly die!
Ling Mo Xie did not have time to think about anything else and quickly began reading again. At the same time, he looked up at the Divine Martial Sect Master, his expression flickering as he thought about how to buy more time and avoid being attacked.
He knew that both the Divine Martial Sect Master and Cang Qian harbored extreme hatred towards him and would not easily let him die; they probably wouldn't rush to attack him but could still beat him up.
However, during the reading of the Return Token, he could only stay in place. If he moved, the reading would be interrupted and would have to start over again.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie staring at him, the Divine Martial Sect Master snorted coldly and said, "How does it feel to be completely powerless like this? Isn't it helpless and terrifying?"
"You can rest assured, I won't let you die so easily."
The Divine Martial Sect Master did not let Ling Mo Xie worry; before Ling Mo Xie could think of how to divert his attention, he began to ramble on himself.
Ling Mo Xie rolled his eyes in his heart. Was this guy too old and had reached what they called a midlife crisis in his past life?
To be fair, the Divine Martial Sect Master was indeed several hundred years old, so it was quite possible.
While Ling Mo Xie was lost in thought, the progress bar of the Return Token was nearing its end. The Divine Martial Sect Master, who had been continuously talking about how he would torment Ling Mo Xie, suddenly stopped and said, "Having said so much, I might as well give it a try! Haha!"
After saying that, he prepared to take action against Ling Mo Xie. Ling Mo Xie's expression changed, and he felt a wave of despair. No way, just when the progress bar was about to finish, this guy is coming again?
Recalling the previous situation, Ling Mo Xie quickly put on a fearful expression and trembled as he said, "W-what do you want to do?"
The Divine Martial Sect Master was somewhat surprised by Ling Mo Xie's sudden change and paused his movements. He laughed heartily and said, "I told you, in a situation like this, how could you possibly have no fear at all? Turns out you were just pretending! Haha! I love seeing your terrified face; maybe it will let you live a few more hours! Haha!"
The Divine Martial Sect Master laughed heartily, and Cang Qian, seeing Ling Mo Xie's fearful expression, also laughed and said to the Divine Martial Sect Master, "No wonder you're the Sect Leader; you really have a way! Seeing him so terrified makes me feel much better!"
"Of course!" The Divine Martial Sect Master nodded proudly.
However, just as he finished speaking, both the Divine Martial Sect Master and Cang Qian suddenly felt a blinding light flash before their eyes.
"What... what's going on?" Cang Qian looked at the Divine Martial Sect Master in surprise and asked. Could it be that there was a problem with this formation?
But the Divine Martial Sect Master's face turned pale as he said in a low voice, "My formation cannot have such an anomaly."
However, as the light dissipated, both of them were shocked to discover that Ling Mo Xie, who had been right in front of them moments ago, had vanished without a trace!
"W-what..." Cang Qian was so stunned that he couldn't speak. He took several steps back and pointed at where Ling Mo Xie had been standing before, stammering as he said; by now it was completely empty.
"What is going on?" The Divine Martial Sect Master also had a look of shock on his face as he shouted loudly at the place where Ling Mo Xie had been.
"My formation clearly hasn't failed, and there are no signs of any disturbance. How could Ling Mo Xie just disappear?" The Divine Martial Sect Master muttered to himself, still in disbelief.
"It's over, it's over..." Cang Qian had already collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacant, repeatedly murmuring, "It's over!"
"It must be that someone behind Ling Mo Xie rescued him. What should we do? Will that person come back for revenge? Is it that the Menglan Conference is not a good time for them to act against us, and they plan to wait until we return to the Sect before striking?"
The two began to grow paranoid, scaring themselves senseless.
"You see, I told you so. To avoid long nights filled with dreams, I urged you to act quickly! Now what are we going to do? Since that person was able to rescue Ling Mo Xie without disturbing your formation, their cultivation level must be beyond our imagination!"
Cang Qian started to blame the Master of Shenwu Sect.
The Master of Shenwu Sect's face turned pale as he glared fiercely at Cang Qian, silencing him from making any more reckless accusations. However, his dissatisfaction with the Master of Shenwu Sect was still evident in his expression.
At this moment, the Divine Martial Sect Master also felt uncertain and deeply regretted not taking Ling Mo Xie's life earlier. However, he couldn't show his regret; otherwise, Cang Qian would seize the opportunity to criticize him. So he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Since Ling Mo Xie has been rescued, let's hurry back. What will be will be; if it's a disaster, we can't escape it. We must leave it to fate!"
"You say that so easily. I don't believe you will just leave it to fate," Cang Qian sneered coldly to himself, mocking the Divine Martial Sect Master. He said nothing more and turned to leave.
