”What do you want to do? Show me whatever you’ve got, I, Pang Hong, am not afraid.” After Pang Hong heard that Mo Wuji wanted to force him to stay, his aura instantly exploded outwards. As he cooled down a moment later, he suspected whether Mo Wuji was really the sect head of the number one sect. Somehow Mo Wuji’s cultivation level didn’t seem to surpass Immortal King Stage. How could a mere ant, that wasn’t even an Immortal King, try to make him stay behind?

At this point his strength had declined significantly, hence Mo Wuji’s battle prowess was not something to look down on regardless of his actual cultivation level. Add Wei Zidao’s strength into the picture, and Pang Hong would not dare to carry on.

What infuriated him the most was that he didn’t choose to fight his way out of this because Mo Wuji had kept him here. Although he, Pang Hong, was like a dragon trapped in sand, he hasn’t dropped to the level that could be threatened by an ant.

With a wave of his hand, Pang Hong shot out a warning signal. At the Vine Mountain of Safety, everyone avoided using spiritual will as far as possible.

Short tens of breaths later, many figures speedily arrived, surrounding the territory of the Immortal hunters.

However, Wei Zidao’s expression did not change. He was different from Mo Wuji in the sense that he clearly knew that numbers meant nothing at the Vine Mountain of Safety. After a battle began, no one would risk their lives. The only people that had any effect were the experts at Immortal Reverent or above, while the rest were insignificant. Although his Immortal Hunters had fewer members than Devil Hand, they had a similar number of experts at Immortal Reverent Stage or stronger.

Despite Wei Zidao not firing off any signal, the members of Immortal Hunters had arrived too.

”Sect Head Mo, if we can avoid it, I would recommend not fighting. Even though Pang Hong had just taken a hit, in reality, he had many tricks up his sleeves. We might be able to finish him off in the end, but we’ll have to pay a hefty price too. Of course, if Sect Head Mo really wants to attack, I, Wei Zidao, will be on your side.” Wei Zidao sent this message secretly to Mo Wuji.

Yet, Mo Wuji remained silent. Wei Zidao’s words sent a clear message across: don’t expect too much from the strength that isn’t yours.

Wei Zidao had spoken nicely, but if a battle really broke out, he would definitely hold back. If Pang Hong really put his life on the line, while Wei Zidao fought with self-preservation as a priority, which would make Mo Wuji lose out.

Immediately, Shang Hegao could feel the tense atmosphere, and stepped forward to speak, ”Brother Pang, Sect Head Mo, let me be the middleman. Previously Brother Pang did not know that woman is Sect Head Mo’s senior sister, and he only spoke to her, but he did not attack her in any way. Since everyone did not lose anything, and Sect Head Mo just arrived at this location, why don’t the both of you give each other some leeway?

Brother Pang will give a piece of land on the Vine Mountain of Safety to Sect Head Mo, so that you may have a place to set up camp, and Sect Head Mo can forget about the things that happened in the past. Everyone will not bear any grudges against each other this way. In the future, we’ll live according to the peaceful rules of the mountain, how about that?”

After listening to Wei Zidao’s words, Mo Wuji had already eliminated the option of fighting. Since Wei Zidao was not willing to go all out, he would definitely not be able to triumph over Pang Hong.

The moment Sheng Hegao finished speaking, Pang Hong coldly added on, ”My Devil Hand has a lot of land, but my men live on most of it. If I do give any up, I can only offer the piece that forms a 5km radius around the sword qi whirlpool, and not a single inch other than that.”

Pang Hong’s tone did not reflect any hint of weakness, but his statement made it clear that he did not want to fight with Mo Wuji, and wanted to take a step back.

All eyes were on Mo Wuji, waiting for his response. Whether a fight would occur depended on what choice he made. Now, Mo Wuji’s gaze fell onto Fei Ling.

Fei Ling could arrogantly face Shang Hegao, yet did not dare to look Pang Hong in the eyes. The shadow of being abused by Pang Hong hadn’t disappeared from his heart.

It didn’t matter how afraid of Pang Hong he was, Mo Wuji still looked towards him for advice. However, he did not dare to remain quiet. Mo Wuji was his new master, so who would want a minion like him that did not dare to speak from the start?

”Sect head, that sword qi whirlpool is very dangerous. At the Vine Mountain of Safety, that sword qi whirlpool is also called the whirlpool of death. Only death awaits those who go close to the sword qi whirlpool, because it will pull people in, and the terrifying sword qi inside will tear a person to shreds. No matter how strong you are, it’s no use.” Fei Ling explained,

Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji frowned. Staying close to such a location didn’t seem to be a safe choice.

”However…” Fei Ling hesitated before he carried on, ”As long as you don’t go close to the whirlpool, nothing will happen to you.”

”How long has the whirlpool existed?” Mo Wuji probed.

”It’s rumored that the sword qi whirlpool was there since the Vine Mountain of Safety was discovered. It has been at least tens of thousands of years.” This time, Fei Ling replied quickly.

Mo Wuji nodded his head. Since tens of thousands of years had passed, the sword qi whirlpool probably didn’t pose a great threat. Moreover, he wasn’t planning on staying at the Vine Mountain of Safety for long.
