Chapter 702: Finally Here (2/2)

Fei Ling also knew who Su Zi'An was and that he was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage. He heard rumours that he cultivated the sword dao and had enlightened several sword dao sacred arts here in the Sword Prison. Without mentioning him, even Nie Chongan might find it difficult to finish Su Zi'An off in the Sword Prison.

However, Su Zi'An wasn’t in anyone’s favour nor did he offend anyone as he chose not to join any of the three primary forces. In the Sword Prison, he had always been in one corner. Because Su Zi'An was slightly more low profile, had never clashed with any of the three primary forces coupled with his own strength, he managed to gain a small foothold in the Vine Mountain of Safety.

”I wonder what is the reason for Immortal Friend Su’s visit today?” Fei Ling was also very curious because if Su Zi'An wanted to join a force, he would have join the Devil Hand, Righteousness Mountain or even the Immortal Hunters already. If Su Zi'An didn’t want to join a force, what was he doing here? This place was no better than the Vine Mountain of Safety.

Su Zi'An clasped his fist once more, ”I’ve heard that Sect Head Mo is magnanimous and was exceptionally strong which is why I, Su Zi'An, am here to seek protection.”

”You want to seek protection from our Ping Fan?” Fei Ling was getting more suspicious because why did this Su Zi'An suddenly change his mind?

”Yes, all four of us are interested in seeking help from Ping Fan,” Su Zi'An started to reveal a slight agony because he was the elder of the Tian Ji Sect yet he was bringing his Tian Ji Sect disciples here to seek help from another sect.

Fei Ling clasped his fist back and said, ”Immortal Friend Su, I am really unable to make this decision on my own. My Sect Head had left about 6 months ago and had yet to return. If Immortal Friend Su is willing, you are invited to wait inside. If you are not willing to wait, feel free to leave.”

”Immortal Friend Fei? Are you saying that Sect Head Mo had been out for 6 months?” Su Zi'An was momentarily shocked.

He was naturally well aware of how terrifying the Sword Prison was and given Mo Wuji’s strength, leaving for a few days might not be a problem. However, by staying in here, not only was the sword qi lesser, one could recover their elemental energy too. The moment he left this place for long period of time and allow the sword qi within the Sword Prison to attack, his elemental energy would have taken a great hit when he returned.

”Yes, would Immortal Friend Su still be interested in waiting for him?” Fei Ling understood Mo Wuji more than Su Zi'An and was not in the least worried about Sect Head Mo Wuji leaving this array. Since Sect Head Mo had that impressive physique tempering technique, he must have left to temper his physique just like how Jian Mingcheng also left the desert to temper his physique after obtaining the physique tempering technique from Sect Head Mo.

The only difference was that Jian Mingcheng would return after a while but Sect Head Mo had yet to return once.

”Yes, we shall wait inside then,” Su Zi'An regained his composure very quickly before answering with conviction.

”Since this was the case, the four of you please enter. You can wait on the plaza itself but even I have no idea how long you’ll be waiting for,” Fei Ling explained casually.

”Many thanks Immortal Friend Fei,” Su Zi'An didn’t stand on ceremony because even though he could still hang on for a period of time after leaving the Vine Mountain of Safety, the few people behind him could no longer hold on for much longer. The youngest and weakest Fan Wa’s entire body was already filled with scars.

The four of them entered the plaza and could instantly feel the weakening of sword qi in the surrounding and it felt much better than where they stayed in the Vine Mountain of Safety.

”No worries, I will be entering now so please take care of yourself,” Fei Ling said and walked straight out of the plaza.

”This Sect Head Mo is really a god. He actually knew that someone would visit,” After Fei Ling left, Su Zi'An exclaimed.

”Senior Grand Uncle, how did you know?” Fan Wa questioned.

”Look at this plaza and you should be able to tell that it was between two arrays. The purpose of the plaza would be to hold those who came and was willing to join Ping Fan,” Su Zi'An explained.

Currently, Su Zi’An had calmed himself down significantly because since Sect Head Mo had predicted that people would come over, it would mean that their chances of joining Ping Fan was high.

...

”Boom boom boom!” Explosions could be heard from the Vine Mountain of Safety and all the cultivators who had rushed out of the Vine Mountain of Safety were starting to panic.

The boundless vine suddenly started to shrink and every cultivator who touched the vine was instantly sucked of his blood.

Shang Hegao retrieved a talisman as he was desperately trying to break the talisman before spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. At this moment, why would he bother about reserving his strength and elemental energy because after guessing what the Vine Mountain of Safety was, he was extremely desperate to leave this place.

The pity was that no matter what methods he used, his strength was never the same as before. A vine swept towards him casually as blood and soul from his entire body was instantly absorbed into the vine. Just as he fell to the ground, he was only left with a piece of clothing and nothing else.

”Bang!” The midair Pang Hong was brushed down by the vine and just as he landed on the ground, a stolon pierced right through body. In the instance his blood and soul were being absorbed, he started to murmur to himself, ”I understand now.”

He really did understand. He understood how they were responsible for the changes in the Vine Mountain of Safety and eventually their own death. If they hadn’t been so obsessed in chopping off the wooden vine to forge a cask to collect the Sword Qi River’s water, so obsessed in trying to recover their soul and primordial spirit, this Vine Mountain of Safety would definitely not be awoken so soon. Perhaps not in another one or two thousand years but they were simply too careless.
