Chapter 187: Somehow, I Owe You (1)

Thick miasma shrouded Earth and Heaven like an ocean of white fog, which isolated the Ku Mountain from the outside world.

The rolling mountain range erected at the center of the Northern Land of Arctic for tens of thousands of years, yet no one knew what it was like inside. Everyone who entered the Ku Mountain had never made it out. They were doomed to fall.

Xuan Lingzi walked between two hills with a calm yet cold face.

He looked quite sedate, yet the blood on his sleeves betrayed his predicament.

Since he was swallowed by the Ku Mountain, Xuan Lingzi had been walking within the range for ten days. It was a vast yet isolated world. Each time Xuan Lingzi perceived the periphery of the world and tried to go out, a strange power would block him from moving ahead.

Was it possible to go for the gloves and tear down the ward of this mountain by force?

Xuan Lingzi didn’t try that.

After he entered the mountain, he had noticed that the range was extremely unstable. Any great shake might well trigger another collapse. Therefore, he must be very cautious.

The master in white walked slowly between these hills. Suddenly, he came to a fork and stopped. He turned to the other direction with gleaming eyes as if he felt something. The next moment, he had disappeared and rushed towards that direction.

At the same time, out of the Ku Mountain, Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu had returned to the Feng Shen Sea.

They sat on a deserted island on the sea, looking at each other in dismay. Beside them sat a lanky man in a huge black cloak, which covered his face. He sat cross-legged, not forcing any constraint on Luo Jianqing. Instead, he just let them look at each other face to face.

Luo Jianqing sent a mind message, “Mo Qiu, you know this man?”

Mo Qiu said, “I’ve heard of him from my master. He is Jin Li, the Ocean Master of the First Ocean in the Demon Realm, completing the late stage of Da Sheng Period. It’s said that he is comparable to the Four Demon Exalts, but he is quite reclusive, much a loner who seldom contacts with other exalts. As such, he often covers himself with that black cloak.” Mo Qiu continued after a pause, “So, shall we flee?”

Luo Jianqing frowned, “He has completed the late stage of Da Sheng Period. Can we flee from him?”

Mo Qiu curled his lips, “You never know it unless you try.”

After a silence, Mo Jianqing said, “We tried, and we failed, even unable to resist.”

When this strange man in black abruptly showed up, he immediately grabbed Mo Qiu. Luo Jianqing definitely had tried to save him, and Mo Qiu also prepared to attack that man, but his palm was immediately penetrated by the black demon power. Mo Qiu had failed before he could move.

As for Luo Jianqing, he even used “Blossom Lotus Sword”, yet the tremendous power of the “Seizure of Karma” was easily counteracted by that man’s fist, with only one blow. Then, a “soft” tap of that man immediately sentenced the defeat of Luo Jianqing, and that was why Luo Jianqing was so worried now.

Those who could clearly recognize the current realities were real heroes.

At this moment, a sophisticated strategy was needed to either resist or completely turn over the situation.

The great disparity between their power was conspicuous enough. If Luo Jianqing acted arbitrarily and persisted in resisting, he would be too foolish.

Speaking of that, Luo Jianqing suddenly realized, “Wait, if he is so powerful, does he know we are communicating even though he doesn’t have Message Detecting Stone?”

Mo Qiu said naturally, “Of course he knows it.”

Luo Jianqing, “…”

Mo Qiu said, “In my opinion, he is always proud and aloof. Since he doesn’t bind us with Deity Bound Rope, he knows that we won’t flee, or he totally holds us cheap, so he won’t interrupt us. However, Luo Jianqing, I know a fatal weakness of him that we can exploit.”

Luo Jianqing frowned slightly, “What weakness?”

“A thousand years ago, your Supreme Master and I… my master confined Jin Li in a small world. They made time pass faster and ultimately Jin Li stayed in darkness alone for altogether a hundred and eighty million years.” Mo Qiu curled his red lips, “Since then, Jin Lin has started to fear the nights!”

On the deserted island, two brilliant peerless human talents and a top demon master were sitting silently, waiting for the dawn.

Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu sat cross-legged to resume power, while Jin Li didn’t stop them. He didn’t even give any response when Luo Jianqing cautiously took out the last Hundred Flower Pill and let Mo Qiu swallow it.

As Mo Qiu swallowed to pill, the horrible and bloody hole on his palm began to mend gradually.

The spiritual power between Earth and Heaven poured into their bodies. Meanwhile, the fierce astral wind was also attacking them, but as long as they blocked the attack, the power of the astral wind would turn into tremendous spiritual power, strengthening their bodies.

They had resumed all the power before the dawn.

However, they didn’t take any actions, as if they hadn’t planned to flee.

Luo Jianqing was biding the time. He glanced at the demon exalt in black cloak quickly and suddenly heard the voice of Mo Qiu in mind, “Luo Jianqing, I must tell you something.”

Luo Jianqing turned to him with surprise.

Under the deepening shades of the night, the handsome Fiend Cultivator in red was gazing at Luo Jianqing. The black waves were rolling and foaming in the boundless Feng Shen Sea, sending up pearly sprays behind Mo Qiu. The darkness threw the radiantly white Mo Qiu into a striking beauty.

Luo Jianqing’s heart sank. Somehow, he felt kind of strange and uncomfortable.
