He felt his body being torn to shreds, blood spurted out of him at such volume that he was soon surrounded by a fine mist of his own blood. He was dyed red with blood from head to toe.

”Omph” He quickly retrieved the jade bucket and took a few steps back. There was no doubt that a slip into the Sword Qi River could very well have ended his life. His cultivation level was far too weak as compared to his strengthened immortal body. With that body of his, he would have been able to fetch a bucket of water with ease should he have been an Immortal Reverent.

Mo Wuji quickened his steps back to his newly established immortal cave.

”What had happened to you Sect Head?!” Fei Ling was frightened by the horrid state Mo Wuji was in. His concern was not out of genuine loyalty, but of fear that his good days would end should Mo Wuji be dead.

”Wuji, what happened….” Han Qingru was alarmed by the state Mo Wuji was in. She ran out of the cave upon hearing about Mo Wuji’s return. She have had a bad feeling about Mo Wuji departing alone with Wei Zidao.

Han Qingru unlike Fei Ling, was genuinely concerned about Mo Wuji. She knew that any injuries sustained in the sword prison was even harder to recover from.

She couldn't care less about anything else and rushed to Mo Wuji’s side.

”There is no need to worry, I am fine.” Mo Wuji knew he was going to be alright despite his alarming look.

Mo Wuji was able to get as many healing pills as he wanted as an eighth grade Pill Emperor. In fact, his condition had been improving tremendously since entering the Vine Mountain of Safety.

Han Qingru became more at ease when she recalled that Mo Wuji had the abilities to heal even her injuries.

Fei Ling had far bigger concerns. He knew someone or something must have gone terribly wrong for Mo Wuji to have sustained such injuries.

Fei Ling hypothesised that Mo Wuji must have gotten injured in a fight; as there was no reason for he would attempt to fetch water from the Sword Qi River seeing the amount of healing pills he had. He was afraid that Wei Zidao was the one who injured Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji did not notice that Fei Ling was deep in thought, he said: ”Follow me.”

Mo Wuji produced an inhibition ray when the trio entered the cave. He solemnly said: ”Fei Ling, do you know of any other place besides the Vine Mountain of Safety that might be safe?”

”Did something happened, Sect Head?” Fei Ling was worry stricken.

Just a few days back, he was celebrating the fact that he had met a man who could forcefully obtain a safe haven from the many experts residing in the Vine Mountain of Safety. His happiness however seemed to be short lived.

Mo Wuji asked again: ”Reply me if there was one.”

Mo Wuji was determined to leave even if there wasn't a place as safe as the Vine Mountain of Safety. If Fei Ling was loyal, he would impart Fei Ling techniques of physical tampering and attempt to remove his sword talisman. If Fei Ling was only trying to take advantage of him, he would leave with only Han Qingru

Mo Wuji always had an inkling feeling that the Vine Mountain of Safety was a bad place to stay despite the weakened sword qi. It was important that they leave before Wei Zidao formed an alliance with Pang Hong and Shang Hegao.

Fei Ling sighed, he could tell that Mo Wuji seemed to have trouble on his hands and they have to leave this place no matter what.

”There is another place but it is much lousier than the Vine Mountain of Safety.” Fei Ling said after much hesitation.

”What place is it?” Mo Wuji asked.

”It was the Whirlpool of Sword Qi I mentioned earlier.” Fei Ling replied.

Mo Wuji frowned: ”Wasn't the whirlpool you mentioned a deathtrap?”

Fei Ling nodded: ”That is correct. But it was said the desert opposite the whirlpool had much a weaker sword qi as most of the sword qi had been swept up by the whirlpool.That being said, It was still nowhere as optimal as the Vine Mountain of safety.”

”Just how big is it?”

”It had a perimeter of around 1722 metres. People from the Vine Mountain of Safety once went to the desert, but had mysteriously disappeared since. It was said that they were swept away by the whirlpool. No one dared venture into the dessert ever since. ” Fei Ling replied.

1722 metres was an area big enough for Mo Wuji. He said: ”Fei Ling, would you be interested in leaving here for the desert?”
