Chen Moxuan sighed, "Forget it, what's in the past is in the past. By the way, I'll bring someone to you later. You should take good care of him at the Holy Land; he doesn't have much time left."
Xuanji looked at him with some confusion. Chen Moxuan didn’t elaborate further; his thoughts had drifted back to a time long ago. Could it have been a thousand years? He was starting to lose track of it all. Xuanji hadn’t changed at all; she truly possessed the art of maintaining her youth.
Xuanji hesitated, as if she wanted to say something more. Behind her, the old man was glaring fiercely, as if he wanted to tear Chen Moxuan apart.
The forest fell silent. After a moment of tension, everyone tacitly agreed not to break the awkward atmosphere. Just then, a dark spot suddenly appeared on the horizon. A gust of wind swept through, and Tiger Brother landed right beside Chen Moxuan.
He had returned, looking much better and fully awake. "I can speak now," Tiger Brother said.
However, this scene caused Xuanji and the old man to change their expressions dramatically. "It's a great demon! Holy Maiden, hurry!" Heipao Lao shouted dutifully.
"Chen Moxuan, come here! I’ll take you!" Xuanji called out urgently.
Tiger Brother shot a sideways glance at the two of them and snorted disdainfully. "Tch."
"Uh, he's my mount," Chen Moxuan said awkwardly. Though he felt touched by Tiger Brother's return, he couldn't shake off the oddity of the previous moment.
"Who’s your mount?!" Tiger Brother suddenly opened his mouth wide and bit down on Chen Moxuan with a clang.
Xuanji and Heipao Lao stared in shock at this scene. A mount? A great demon as a mount? They were both plunged into disbelief.
Tiger Brother bit down a couple of times but couldn’t get through; instead, he chipped one of his own teeth. He quickly released his grip and began to paw at his front tooth with his claws. "Damn it! Why are you always so tough? Don't you ever have a soft moment? One day, I’ll eat you!"
Chen Moxuan looked at Tiger Brother's antics with gritted teeth, feeling frustrated. This guy had no sense of the atmosphere! He just loved to stir up trouble!
Xuanji grabbed Chen Moxuan tightly: "When—"
Chen Moxuan quickly interrupted her, "It was you who refused to elope with me!"
"We're not eloping!" Xuanji immediately retorted, eager to reason with him.
"You just don't love me, that's why you won't elope."
"You're being unreasonable!"
"So love can just disappear, huh?"
Tiger Brother lay on the ground, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle before him, thinking to himself. This kid is really too clever! The first rule of love: seize the initiative.
As Chen Moxuan and Xuanji continued to chat about their past stories, the earth suddenly trembled, followed by a booming sound from Honglong. The two who were in the midst of their discussion instantly stopped.
Tiger Brother frowned and said, "Those mortals are digging into the mountain."
Chen Moxuan asked, "Can you still sense Su Mingyu's location?"
"Yes, he hasn't moved at all; he's still in the camp."
"Then there's nothing to worry about."
While they were conversing, Xuanji interjected, "Can you tell me what's really going on?"
Chen Moxuan glanced at Xuanji, not really wanting to explain. Xuanji was a very serious person with a strong sense of responsibility.
Despite being over a thousand years old, there seemed to be little change in him. Dragon Vein had just experienced a slight tremor and hurried over. This was very much in line with Xuanji's character traits.
Xuanji would definitely disapprove of his method of fishing for information without addressing dangers immediately. But if he didn’t say anything, he wasn’t sure how Xuanji might disrupt his plans.
Chen Moxuan had always felt that if he could completely resolve the issue with the Blood Emperor, there wouldn't be any major incidents in Yun Miao Sheng Zhou for a while. His master had many enemies, but only one that couldn’t be killed. Among them, only the Blood Emperor retained a physical form; the other four were merely remnants of spirit.
The will and spirit of those four were indestructible. Even if someone accidentally opened their seals and passed on their legacy, Chen Moxuan wouldn’t be afraid because he actually admired those four quite a bit.
Time had changed everything; if they could truly revive, it might actually be a good thing. As for the Blood Emperor, Chen Moxuan didn’t know whether his esteemed master tacitly approved of him continuing this matter or simply hadn’t noticed at all. What he did know was that he still had one last trump card—an idea he had come up with on the spot.
"Stop being silly!" Xuanji shot him a glare, her voice laced with annoyance.
Chen Moxuan sighed, "It's simple. I need to find something called Blood Sea. I'm not sure if it's a spirit, a spell, or a Demonic Artifact. Right now, I have an opportunity. Did you see that human general down the mountain?"
Xuanji nodded. "The armor he's wearing must be above Heavenly Rank, and it's extremely sinister."
Chen Moxuan continued, "Within that armor resides the remnant soul of an Ancient Demon Emperor. He will constantly seek to achieve a certain goal, and as long as I can keep stopping him without revealing my presence, that remnant soul may activate the trap he laid out thousands of years ago. My objective is to resolve this trap, ensuring he has no chance of revival."
Although Xuanji initially found it hard to grasp, she quickly pieced it together. Her complexion paled when she heard the words "Ancient Demon Emperor." She realized that Chen Moxuan's plan involved having Su Mingyu wear that cursed armor to carry out a scheme that could potentially annihilate humanity. They intended to intervene during the execution of this plan, ultimately forcing the hidden Blood Sea into the open.
Xuanji's expression turned grave. "Chen Moxuan, you're playing with fire!" The tone of Xuanji Saintess was tinged with anger. "The Dragon Vein is a convergence point of heaven and earth's Ling Qi. What you're doing not only disrupts the balance of nature but could also bring disaster to Yun Miao Sheng Zhou! Have you considered what happens if he succeeds? What if you can't stop him in time? You will be responsible for countless deaths!"
Chen Moxuan fell silent for a moment before slowly replying, "Xuanji, I understand your concerns. The Blood Emperor is an enemy we cannot ignore. If he truly returns and devours several cities' worth of humans or consumes powerful beasts to regain his strength, then no one will be able to confront him!"
"But!" Xuanji countered, "Our Holy Land offers tributes to the Immortal Emperor every hundred years! The Immortal Emperor should be able to defeat the Blood Emperor!"
"I remember now," she continued, "I saw similar murals in the forbidden area of our Holy Land."
Chen Moxuan nodded, adopting a tone that suggested he was laying all his cards on the table. "That's right. About eight or nine thousand years ago, my master could defeat him."
