Chapter 323: Chapter 181 Pursuit
“Master Shi? You, how did you get here?”
Seeing this figure, Mo Baiye was startled, and a hint of fear flashed across his usual calm and confident face.
With their strength, anyone from the Zouyi Dynasty was confident in battling, except when facing this particular hall master, where not a hint of confidence was found.
It was a stereotype that had formed over a long time, and even surrounded by allies he had gathered himself, he still felt somewhat unable to confront the man.
As for the others present, they too became vigilant at his arrival.
“Do you even have the face to ask? I stood as a guarantor for you to borrow from so many, and you betrayed me. Now, everyone is demanding the Destiny Plate from me… Mo Baiye, if I don't come looking for you, who else should I seek out!”
With a face full of anger, Shi Yunjing quickly stepped forward to the crowd.
“Hall Master, I've said it, I have truly been wronged. It wasn't me who borrowed the money, but her teacher, Zhang Xuan…”
Mo Baiye pointed anxiously at Liu Mingyue, who was still lying unconscious on the ground.
“Her teacher?”
Shi Yunjing approached and reached out to check the girl's pulse: “If her teacher has wronged you, then pursue her teacher. Why capture her?”
“I…”
Mo Baiye's face reddened.
“Hand her over to me! As a deputy hall master of Heaven Mandate Hall, to commit such an embarrassing deed, I feel ashamed for you!”
With a snort, Shi Yunjing bent down and picked up the unconscious Liu Mingyue.
“Hall Master, this seems inappropriate…”
Mo Baiye showed a hint of doubt.
“Shut up! That Zhang Xuan has already spread the news everywhere. The entire Heaven Mandate Domain is talking about how Heaven Mandate Hall lacks discipline. Taking her away will help mitigate the impact…”
With a rebuke, Shi Yunjing strode toward the forest's edge.
“Mitigate the impact? What impact can that mitigate?”
Mo Baiye felt that something was amiss and suddenly realized something: “Not right, Master Shi, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Last year, when we went to Cold Wood Mountain together, you promised to give me something. When will you give it to me?”
“Let's talk about that after leaving the domain,” Shi Yunjing called back as he walked.
“No, this is wrong, seize him!”
Mo Baiye's complexion changed: “He is Zhang Xuan; everyone, help me take him down…”
He had been to Cold Wood Mountain before, but at that time, it was only a few deputy hall masters who went. Master Shi never went, so naturally, he wouldn't have promised to give him anything!
Since he was not the hall master and came to take Liu Mingyue away, it was easy to guess who it really was!
But… hadn't he just left his mark behind? How could he find them so quickly? The most crucial point was that he had disguised himself as Shi Yunjing, something even Mo Baiye had not anticipated!
Respecting him as his direct superior, without daring to doubt too much, had allowed him to exploit this loophole!
No one else could have had this effect!
Once, twice, thrice… always being tricked by the same person, it was just detestable!
With rage nearly exploding in his heart, he swung his arm fiercely, and his Mo Dao sliced straight forward.
The flowing Blade Wind transformed into a long dragon, tearing through the air, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared right behind “Shi Yunjing.”
“Mo Baiye, you have some nerve!”
“Shi Yunjing” gave a light laugh. In the blink of an eye, the girl in his arms disappeared as if she had been put into a storage space. Just when everyone thought that this dignified hall master would inevitably lash out in anger, teaching Master Mo a lesson, they saw him lightly tap his foot, evading the Blade Wind, and then turn and sprint out of the forest.
“Fool Mo Baiye, I took the person away…”
A light laugh, Shi Yunjing had lost all the solemnity from earlier, the voice even changed.
“You…”
Mo Baiye trembled with anger.
If previously it was just a suspicion, now he was one hundred percent certain!
“Gentlemen, act quickly, just kill him now, and I will immediately take you all to the Tri-Colored Land…”
Knowing time wait for no one, Mo Baiye quickly turned around, shouting out loud.
“Okay!”
Hearing him say that, Mu Hongtao, Ling Yusheng, and the others hesitated no more and shot forward together, but they realized something was amiss after only a few steps.
Having just run with all their might, under normal circumstances, they should've covered at least several hundred meters, but they were still standing on the same spot, as if they hadn't moved at all, like hitting a ghost wall.
“Here, we cannot use zhenqi, we can only rely on physical body strength to chase!”
Mo Baiye quickly explained.
Mu Hongtao, Ling Yusheng, and the others caught on and swiftly followed in pursuit.
The “Shi Yunjing” running ahead, turned his head to look back, smiled, and spoke again: “Mo Baiye, do these few old friends of yours know about your impotence?”
“Impotence?”
“Master Mo is impotent?”
Sure enough, upon hearing this news, Mu Hongtao, Ling Yunsheng, and the others all showed puzzled expressions.
“Of course, you guys wouldn't be unaware, right? In order to cover up the fact that he's incapable, he deliberately married several concubines, but in reality, these women have been guarding empty beds all along…”
“Shi Yunjing” spoke with a smile brimming in his voice.
“Don't listen to his nonsense!” Mo Baiye's face turned ashen.
“I'm spouting nonsense? Okay!”
“Shi Yunjing” continued: “In the practice methods of your Mo Dao, isn't the zhenqi gathered at the position of the main tendon? This strength is incomparably sharp, a slight miscontrol, and it will cause damage to the meridians, and the damage to that area, you all know what it implies, don't you?”
“Of course, these are all problems with your own practice, not a big deal, but the key is you're harming them! It's so obvious, yet you're clueless, even running over to help him! It's like being sold out and still helping count the money…”
“Harming us? Stop scaring people with your doom and gloom!”
Ling Yusheng's gaze darkened.
“Don't believe it? Then let me tell you! Your name is Ling Yusheng, right?”
The laughter of “Shi Yunjing” continued: “You appear to be a wandering cultivator, setting up a business for assassination… but in reality, you're an escaped convict from the Cold Star Sect! You were saved by Mo Baiye in the past, which is why you heed his words!”
“If the information I've seen is correct, you have helped him assassinate seventeen Fate Masters, these people include clan descendants, and there's even an unfavored prince… You might want to consider, how do I know this message?”
“You, you… how do you know this?” Ling Yusheng's face turned ashen.
He was an escaped convict, the matter of killing an unfavored prince once exposed, he would surely face the concentrated pursuit of many forces, and even if he left the Heaven Mandate Domain, he would become an escaped convict again, living in constant fear.
“Of course, your most trusted Mo Baiye told me! If not him, how would I have come to know…”
“Shi Yunjing” began to laugh, continuing to speak: “Sect Leader Mu Hongtao, right? He has also spoken about your weaknesses, wondering if the people detained in the underground chamber of the sect are still there…”
“Shut up!”
At this moment, Mo Baiye could no longer restrain himself, and with a loud shout, his long saber in hand, once again slashed forward.
However, before the sound of his voice had ended, the long saber immediately seemed to lose control, slipping from his hand, and fell to the ground after flying out several dozen meters, landing on the ground.
