Chapter 710: There’s A Shadow In Bai Ye’s Heart

”How did you manage to find me?” Bai Ye suddenly felt his hairs stand. Trying to find a person in this vast Sword Prison was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
This difficult task was actually done by this Sect Head Mo in front of him; he subconsciously started to shiver. At this instant, he started to feel a sense of self-contempt. He had always been thinking that he wasn’t going to let go of Mo Wuji; he even thought that he could Mo Wuji as long as they weren’t in that killing array. But now, Mo Wuji was right in front of him, but he, Bai Ye, actually didn’t dare to do anything.
This was the second time that he had such fear towards Mo Wuji. The first time was when he personally witnessed Mo Wuji enter Sword Qi River; that scene had thoroughly and deeply shocked him. Ever since then, and even now, that scene was fleeting in his mind.
What was scariest was the unknown; he didn’t know exactly how powerful Mo Wuji was; he didn’t know why Mo Wuji was able to enter Sword Qi River; and he didn’t know how Mo Wuji was able to find him so easily.
”That’s not for you to know. Previously, you tried to plot against me; so I need you to offer some compensation,” Mo Wuji said indifferently.
Back when Bai Ye left his killing array, Mo Wuji had used his spirit storage channel to leave behind an imprint on baiYe. He was sure that Bai Ye definitely wouldn’t be able to discover that spiritual will imprint.
If this was outside Sword Prison, it would simply be a joke if Mo Wuji tried to place a spiritual will imprint on an Immortal Emperor like Bai Ye. However, this was Sword Prison. Back then, Bai Ye’s entire body had been cleaved apart by Mo Wuji; he would have to spend all his effort and energy just to hold himself together and recover. How could Bai Ye have spare energy to check whether there was any spiritual will imprint on him? Even if he did, his primordial spirit had already been badly damaged because of Sword Prison; so it might not necessarily be able to locate the imprint.
It was exactly because of this that Mo Wuji knew that Bai Ye was approaching him when he was on the river banks of Sword Qi River. Bai Ye’s killing intent came and left like the wind. Back then, Mo Wuji was at a critical point in his physique tempering and he didn’t bother to chase after Bai Ye.
If not because he needed Bai Ye’s help, he would have been too lazy to even look for Bai Ye.
”What do you want? I’ve been trapped in Sword Prison for many years. I don’t have any thing of value.” Bai Ye stood up and looked at Mo Wuji in fear.
His most valuable object was his eight trigrams disc, but this eight trigrams disc was his core treasure, he definitely wasn’t going to give it to Mo Wuji.
”Those things on you don’t even catch my eye. I only need you to help me with something. After I entered Sword Qi River, I was unable to find the way out. You are capable in the Dao of Prophecy. Help me deduce where’s the strand of hope in Sword Qi River.” Mo Wuji said calmly.
Bai Ye went blank. If he hadn’t personally seen Mo Wuji enter Sword Qi River, he would definitely have thought that Mo Wuji was trying to scam him to enter Sword Qi River.
”With my current capability, I’m unable to enter Sword Qi River.” When Bai Ye heard Mo Wuji’s request, he lamented. With his power, he would simply be courting death if he entered Sword Qi River. If Mo Wuji still wanted to force him to enter Sword Qi River, then he could only burn all his boats and have an all-out battle with Mo Wuji.
”What do you think is the possibility of the exit being in Sword Qi River?” Mo Wuji asked another question.
After exchanging these few words, Bai Ye’s fear towards Mo Wuji gradually toned down, ”There’s a 90% possibility that the exit to Sword Prison is in Sword Qi River, my divination wouldn’t be wrong. Thereafter, I also performed a divination at the sword qi whirlpool. This one, however, was slightly hazy. There seemed to be a path of life, but within that path of life, there also seemed to be a path of death. Moreover, this path of death wasn’t largely related to sword qi. There’s also one thing that I am confused about; I seemed to feel that there was another life within the sword qi whirlpool.”
When Mo Wuji heard this last sentence of Bai Ye’s, he became more sure of Bai Ye’s divination. There was indeed someone within the sword qi whirlpool; he had seen it himself.
”Bai Ye, I need you to follow me to Sword Qi River; I will use my domain to protect you. Besides you, everyone else from my sect will be following us to Sword Qi River. Of course, you would be the one to find us the way out,” Mo Wuji stared at Bai Ye and said.
Bai Ye jolted; he was going to use his divination to find a way out? Since this Sect Head Mo wasn’t bringing him alone, then it meant that he wasn’t lying. Did that mean that he could get out too?
As he thought of this, Bai Ye’s heart immediately started beating with fervour. He clasped his fists to Mo Wuji and said, ”Sect Head Mo, there’ no problem with me finding you a way out. But, I need to follow the rest of you out. And after we get out, you must not act against me.”
Mo Wuji nodded, ”Sure, I can promise you that. After we leave, all our favours and enmities would be struck off. Of course, if you dare to offend me once more, then don’t blame me for not being courteous.”
”Alright, I will take your word for it. After we leave, we will no longer go against one another,” Bai Ye did not hesitate to say. Offend Mo Wuji once more? He, Bai Ye, was no idiot. Since he was going to escape, why would he want to offend and create such a terrifying enemy?
…
”Sect head found a way out?” Back in Mo Wuji’s protective array, Fei Ling and co. were looking towards Mo Wuji in disbelief.
