Zhuo Pingan kept his jade vase carefully before taking a deep breath while looking at the roof. He clasped his fists discreetly at Mo Wuji before saying respectfully, ”Pill Master Mo, your pill concoction skills and character are the best I, Zhuo Pingan, have ever seen. I, Zhuo Pingan, will avenge and repay when necessary and I will never boast or give empty promises. I, Zhuo Pingan, want to tell you today that no matter what you want me to do, I will do it.”

Mo Wuji chuckled, ”I only have one request which is for Immortal Friend Zhuo to bring Su Xi away until she is capable of protecting herself.”

Zhuo Pingan laughed, ”This is nothing at all. I, Zhuo Pingan, guarantee to not let anything happen to her and no one would be able to take the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp away from her. Concurrently, I will continue protecting you for one year so matter how many experts came to obstruct you, I will make sure you enter the Gods Tower safely.”

Mo Wuji smiled, ”Thank you Dao Friend Zhuo and just like you mentioned, I won’t be staying in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse anymore.”

Mo Wuji was not carried away by a whim as he knew that staying here would harm both himself and others. The moment the experts of the Lightning Sect and the Great Sword Path arrived, coupled with Lun Cai’s help, he would be fraught with grim possibilities. Letting Zhuo Pingan and Su Xi stay here would also harm them.

Zhuo Pingan didn’t expect Mo Wuji to leave the Heavenly Chasm City but if he insisted on leaving, Zhuo Pingan believed that he still had the capabilities to protect Mo Wuji on his way out.

He agreed with Mo Wuji’s intention that leaving the Heavenly Chasm City now would be the most appropriate.

Even before Zhuo Pingan could speak, Su Xi interjected, ”Big Brother Mo, I will not leave with Senior Zhuo. I want to leave with you.”

Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at Su Xi, ”Su Xi, I am only in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage and I have no means of protecting your Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Once we are caught by the opponent, I will not be able to escape with you so by following me, you are simply courting death.”

Su Xi said convincingly, ”Big Brother Mo, before my master passed on, she told me to follow you.”

Mo Wuji replied calmly, ”Your master told you to listen to me and she didn’t specify to have you follow me.”

All Su Xi did was to shake her head as she looked extremely resolute in her decision.

Zhuo Pingan saw Su Xi’s unwillingness so he added, ”Pill Master Mo, since you’re leaving the Heavenly Chasm City, I don’t think it would be much of a difference if Su Xi follows you. The Immortal World is vast so even if the two of you were obstructed by one or two experts, they wouldn’t be your match if Da Huang is with you. The situation would definitely not be similar to the one in the Heavenly Chasm City where so many experts were gathered together.

Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji could only reply honestly, ”I have no intentions to leave far because I am planning to head to the Gods Tower.”

Back when he was only an Earthly Immortal, Mo Wuji managed to traverse through the Immortal Chasm between the Half Immortal Domain and the Corner of Yong Ying. Presently, he was in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage and was definitely multiple folds stronger than before. Additionally, he wasn’t intending to traverse the Gods Heavenly Chasm but only to cultivate for a period of time in the Heavenly Chasm. There shouldn’t be a problem for him to cultivate there while waiting for the opening of the Gods Tower.

”You want to stay in the Gods Heavenly Chasm to wait for the opening of the Gods Tower?” Zhuo Pingan asked surprisingly when he found out about Mo Wuji’s intention.

Mo Wuji nodded, ”Yes, that's what I’m thinking.”

”No way! Given your strength, the probability of you staying alive would be slim. There are too many powerful existences in the Heavenly Chasm and these people were all not afraid of spatial splitting. Unless your body was tempered to the Immortal Physique stage but you are only in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage so you are still quite a distance away from the Immortal Physique…” Zhuo Pingan said without holding back.

”I’ve already made my decision,” Mo Wuji responded because since he had already decided, he would want to try it out.

As she saw Mo Wuji looking towards her, Su Xi answered coldly, ”My life was picked up once by my master and the other time by Big Brother Mo. Following my ‘life’ to the Heavenly Chasm would be the only reasonable thing to do.”

After saying this, Su Xi bowed towards Zhuo Pingan and Mo Wuji before saying, ”Senior Zhuo, Big Brother Mo, please accept my request. My master told me before that whether we cultivate the immortal way, buddhism or even magic, the foundation of it all is to cultivate the heart. If I am unable to even follow my heart, how could I continue cultivating?”

”Alright,” Zhuo Pingan nodded with acknowledgement. This sentence might seem simple but it was in fact, very hard to act on it.

Mo Wuji saw Su Xi’s absolute determination to follow him out so he simply said, ”Since this is the case, you will leave with me. Following me would mean that our life and death would be ruled by fate.

”Yes, Big Brother Mo!” Su Xi was no longer as tender and shy as she were when she first met Mo Wuji.

”Are you leaving now?” Zhuo Pingan asked.

Mo Wuji shook his head, ”No, we will leave tomorrow. Before we leave, there are still two more people I must kill.”

One night had passed and on the morning of the next day, Mo Wuji brought Su Xi and Da Huang out of the Heavenly Chasm City while Zhuo Pingan was no longer around him.

Even though there were countless of people streaming in and out of the Heavenly Chasm City, news would spread the moment a person like Mo Wuji, who was watched closely by many, walked out.

Despite being shameful of the actions of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Mo Wuji was still not prepared to fight them now. The person he wanted to kill was the Great Sword Path’s Sa Jian and his disciple, Ni Ju.

The Heavenly Chasm City was not that far away from the Gods Heavenly Chasm so Mo Wuji only needed less than half a day on the flying treasure to reach.
