Wei Zidao was furious that Mo Wuji had openly embarrassed him in front of Pang Hong and Shang Hedao. He was nevertheless still an Immortal Emperor of the advanced stage. He contemplated if he should take on Mo Wuji; but he had yet to recover from his ordeal at the River of Sword Qi.

Just as Wei Zidao was about to attack, Shang Hedao said: ”We shall take back this land and remodel it since Mo Sect Head is unwilling to hand the pills over.”

Mo Wuji was disappointed. He had planned to trigger an attack from Pang Hong and co. by inciting an attack from Wei Zidao. The deathtrap arrays that he painstakingly emplaced would then have allowed him to decimate the experts easily.

It was a pity that Shang Hegao resolved the tension during Wei Zidao’s moment of hesitation, ruining any chances of a fight breaking out.

”Lets go.” Mo Wuji left the place without hesitation with Han Qingru and Fei Ling, not bothering to provoke Wei Zidao any further.

None of Pang Hong and co. pursued the trio as they disappeared into the distance.

They knew they could take Mo Wuji’s life whenever they pleased as they have found the secret to obtaining large amounts of water from the river of sword qi. The priority now was to recover from their injuries and face Mo Wuji with their full strength in the future.

”Mo Wuji was bound to have something up his sleeves, it was fortunate that you had not attacked, Wei Zidao.” Shang Hegao cautioned Wei Zidao after Mo Wuji left.

Wei Zidao nodded in agreement. Wei Zidao replied: ”Indeed. It is amazing that Mo Wuji could actually manage to set up a sixth grade deathtrap array in the sword prison.”

Pang Hong said: ”Mo Wuji is a very cunning man. He was trying to lure us into the deathtrap array the entire time by inciting Wei Zidao to attack.”

They would have had little trouble destroying a mere sixth grade deathtrap array should it have been constructed outside of the sword prision. But the sword prison had left them with only a fraction of their original powers.

”I could not find out anything about him during our interactions either. Let the three of us investigate this deathtrap array that he have left behind.” Wei Zidao agreed with what the pair had said.

”Alright.” Both Pang Hong and Shang Hedao agreed to Wei Zidao’s suggestion.

The remaining six waited outside the array while the trio entered it.

An Immortal Emperor of the elementary level that was behind Pang Hong turned around and walked away as the trio entered the array.

No Immortal Emperor of any organisation could challenge the authority of Pang Hong, Shang Hedao and Wei Zidao in the Vine Mountain of Safety. As such, no one dared to question the Immortal Emperor who had the audacity to leave the place without waiting for the trio.

”Jian my immortal friend, why don't you wait for me? Where are you headed?” Another voice said as Jian the Immortal was leaving the Vine Mountain of Safety.

Jian the Immortal stopped and stared at him: ”Nie Chongan, lets not interfere with each other’s business. Besides, I have no reason to answer to a person from the Righteousness Mountain.”

He was aware that Nie Chongan was one of the two powerful Immortal Emperors from the Righteousness Mountains, the other being Shang Hegao.

”Hahaha, there is every reason for you to do so my friend. If my guess was correct, you’re planning to leave the Devil Hand to seek Mo Wuji? You should know how severely Devil Hand punishes betrayers.” Nie Chongan challenged Jian the immortal.

Jian the immortal replied: ”Firstly, I have every right to leave the Devil Hand as and when I pleased. There was no betrayal involved as Pang Hong and I were merely partners. Secondly, I Jian Mingcheng have no reason to fear you even though you’re of considerable strength.”

Nie Chongan did not mind what Jian Mingcheng said, he calming replied: ”You’re mistaken my friend. I have come to join, not challenge you.”

”Could it be that you...” Jian Mingcheng was shocked beyond words.

Xie Chongan nodded silently.

Han Qingru’s physical tampering techniques had allowed her to barely resist the surrounding sword qi. Fei Ling’s potential and his frequent trip to the river of sword qi also meant that he had a much easier time resisting the sword qi compared to Hang Qingru even though he did not have physical tampering techniques.
