"Tsk, tsk, tsk, everyone else is eager to escape from this hellish place. It would be better for you to run back by yourself. Do you think you are confident or arrogant?"
Although Mo Mingqi's eyes were blood red, what surprised Mu Qing was that his mind remained clear.
"Unless the demon himself takes action, no one can keep me!" Mu Qing said confidently.
He is indeed not bragging. With his current strength, he is not afraid of Zuo Dao and Qu You at all, but if the devil says that, he has no bottom.
According to the old guys, the demon has probably broken through to the ninth realm, just like Mo Crow in his heyday.
With Mu Qing's current cultivation and background, he can handle the Zuodao and his like in the Seventh Realm, but against the Eighth Realm, he probably won't even have a chance to escape, let alone the Heavenly Demons in the Ninth Realm.
"I remember you have a special kind of flame. Can you strip away the demonic energy from me?"
Mo Mingqi seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Mu Qing with sharp eyes.
After experiencing the incident in the Eastern Territory, he seemed to have become a different person. When he saw Mu Qing again, he was no longer as scared as before.
"Don't resist, I'll try!"
After Mu Qing finished speaking, he immediately put his hand on Mo Mingqi's shoulder.
However, he did not use the Burning Sky Demonic Flame, but instead attached the roots of the Chaos Demonic Tree to Mo Mingqi's body.
Zizzi!
As the roots of the Chaos Demonic Tree were absorbed, strands of demonic energy were stripped out of Mo Mingqi's body.
"Well!--"
Mo Mingqi had bulging veins all over her body, and big beads of sweat were dripping down. The pain in this could be imagined.
However, Mo Mingqi clenched her teeth and only let out waves of low roars in her throat, like a trapped beast suppressing itself.
This pain lasted for half a cup of tea before it ended.
After the demonic energy was stripped away, Mo Mingqi fainted from the pain. Mu Qing fed him a vitality pill before he woke up.
"hiss!--"
The first thing Mo Mingqi did after waking up was to take a deep breath. Looking at him, it seemed as if he had not breathed for hundreds of years.
"Finally the clouds have cleared and the sun has finally cleared!" Mo Mingqi said with emotion.
"You have indeed grown up a lot. You are much more pleasing to the eye now than you were then!"
Mu Qing walked into the pavilion minding his own business, took out the tea set and started making tea.
He has been running around all these years, and only when he is alone with Lin Xi can he have the opportunity to enjoy this peaceful time.
Now that he saw Mo Mingqi's change, he suddenly felt emotional and wanted to have a drink.
"You have the nerve to say this, don't forget, I'm older than you!"
While talking, Mo Mingqi had already walked into the pavilion.
"Tianmo Mountain used the magic well to demonize the entire Eastern Region, but it did not interfere in local management. It just asked the four countries in the Eastern Region to send a group of people with cultivation qualifications to Tianmo Mountain every quarter!"
"That's strange. With your qualifications, how could you escape the call?" Mu Qing pushed a cup of tea in front of Mo Mingqi and looked at him strangely.
"Although they do not interfere in local management, they will elect a prestigious person as the manager in each city!"
When Mo Mingqi said this, she couldn't help but show a trace of complacency on her face.
"I still don't know how to restrain myself as before!" Mu Qing took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Nonsense, you are allowed to steal the show and I am not allowed to pretend occasionally. Tell me, what are you going to do when you come back this time?"
Although Mo Mingqi didn't have much contact with Mu Qing, he firmly believed in one thing: wherever Mu Qing appeared, there would never be peace.
"I didn't plan to do anything originally, but by stripping you of the demonic energy, I think I should be able to save these people who are in trouble, but..."
Mu Qing looked at the hazy sky in the distance, his eyes wandering, as if he was weighing something.
"You are right to worry. The root cause lies in those five magic wells. If you don't destroy the magic wells, it will be useless no matter how many people you rescue, unless you can bring everyone to the sanctuary. But does this make sense?
"
Mo Mingqi looked in the direction of Zhuque Mountain, her eyes filled with hatred and pain.
"Where's your dad?"
Mu Qing glanced at Mo Mingqi and suddenly thought of Mod Shui.
"I locked him in a dungeon." Mo Mingqi said through gritted teeth.
When the Eastern Territory fell that day, a priest of the Mo family named Liu Jieshan suddenly attacked and robbed him of the property that the Mo family had accumulated over the years. Mo Deshui tried to stop him, but was seriously injured.
Under the erosion of the evil spirit, the seriously injured Mod Shui couldn't resist it at all and turned into a walking corpse. As a last resort, Mo Mingqi had no choice but to lock him in the dungeon.
"Liu Jieshan, by the way, we still have an unfinished relationship! But we'll talk about this later. Take me to meet your father first!"
Although Mo Deshui had sent Liu Jieshan to intercept and kill him, Mu Qing still planned to help him for Mo Mingqi's sake.
Because he had a plan in mind and needed Mo Mingqi's help.
After burning the incense, Mu Qing saw the crazy Mod Shui in the dark dungeon. At this time, he was as skinny as a stick of wood, but he didn't have the high spirits he had when he was the city lord.
Mod Shui's situation was a bit complicated. It took Mu Qing a long time to clear out the demonic energy from his body. Without the cooperation of the healing elixir, Mod Shui would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Now that your father is fine, it's time for us to talk about business!"
After Mo Mingqi arranged for Mod Shui, Mu Qing said to him.
"I've been waiting for your words!"
In the following days, Mu Qing stayed in Yanling City.
In addition to studying elixir recipes with Mo Mingqi, he was constantly refining elixirs.
During this time, a strange thing happened in Yanling City.
Every midnight, a giant tree that reaches the sky will grow in the courtyard of the city lord's palace, and its purple roots will spread all over the city.
These roots secretly absorb the demonic energy from everyone while they are sleeping.
As time went by, the people in Yanling City found that their bodies felt much more relaxed, their memories recovered, and their minds became clearer.
Yanling City began to slowly regain its former vitality.
"We finally succeeded!"
After dozens of days of deduction and experimentation, Mu Qing finally refined a green elixir.
"Thanks to your special ability, otherwise we would not have been able to create this Yuanling Pill!"
Mo Mingqi looked at the pill with excitement in her eyes.
"Mo Mingqi, maybe even you don't know how talented you are in the field of poison pills. Without your advice, even if you give me another three years, I won't be able to perfect this pill!"
Mu Qing threw the elixir to Mo Mingqi and sighed sincerely.
"Having been praised by the number one golden alchemist of the Alchemist Association, my life, Mo Mingqi, has not been in vain!"
At this time, Mo Mingqi looked confident and high-spirited.
"In this case, the formation of the underground forces in the Eastern Region will be left to you. After a while, I will send someone to assist you. Remember, confidentiality must be done well!"
Mu Qing looked at Mo Mingqi seriously.
"Don't worry, you are not the Mu Qing of the past, and I am the Mo Mingqi of the past!"
Mo Mingqi smiled broadly. The jealousy and hostility of that young boy had disappeared in the course of time.
"treasure!"
Mu Qing hugged Mo Mingqi's fists, flapped his rune light wings and left Yanling City.
"treasure!"
Mo Mingqi stood in the courtyard and looked at the direction Mu Qing was leaving, without moving for a long time.
Under the setting sun that was mostly obscured by haze, two lights flashed in his eyes.
