Chapter 979 - 979 965 Saving Shi Xueqin

Chapter 979: Chapter 965: Saving Shi Xueqin Chapter 979: Chapter 965: Saving Shi Xueqin “Those people are really no good; they killed Liu Yunzhi just for two secret manuals. After everything that’s happened, don’t you ever trust that they’re doing it for justice—that’s all bullshit. Their true purpose is the Wolf King’s Ring in your hands, they want the magic power inside the ring.” Li Mo is a straightforward man, someone who speaks his mind.

Suddenly, something happened up ahead, with loud shouting, a group of people crowded around, blocking the city gate.

The horse car slowed down, Ye Chen peered out for a glance, and quickly withdrew his head, saying, “Li Mo, go check out what happened.” It wasn’t appropriate for him to show his face; he was already a wanted man by the Immortal and Demon Realms, looking to find him, he didn’t want to attract trouble.

Li Mo pulled the horse car to the side of the road and took a few men with him to check.

After squeezing through the crowd, he saw a pitiable girl lying on the ground, her face covered in dirt, yet with an expressionless face, waiting for the few men in front to kick and punch her.

The dozen or so people in front were from the Qingxuan Sect, and the one at the front, he remembered, was Wan Shatong’s son Wan Shajiang. On the way, he had heard that after Liu Yunzhi’s death, it was Wan Shatong’s son who became the new Sect Leader of the Qingxuan Sect, it must be him.

Wan Shajiang was heard shouting, “Girl, spit out the whereabouts of Longhun quickly, or I’ll make you unable to live or die.” It turned out he recognized this girl; she was the one who followed Longhun closely.

The words of Wan Shajiang reminded Li Mo instantly; indeed, he had seen this girl too, apparently called Shi Xueqin, this he knew from Wan Danrong. Wan Danrong had said that at Great Demon Mountain, when she was entangled by Resentful Spirits, it was a girl by Longhun’s side who begged Longhun, and Longhun used his magic to save her; otherwise, Wan Danrong would have gone insane long ago. The girl who begged Longhun must be Shi Xueqin.

The very thought spurred a sense of compassion in him. Although Li Mo harbored hatred for the Dragon Slaying Clan, this was, after all, the one who saved Wan Danrong.

The girl’s hair was disheveled and her hands were full of mud. She wiped her stubborn face with her palms, but the more she wiped, the dirtier her face became, looking all the more pitiful.

One of the men by Wan Shajiang’s side was about to kick her hard, shouting, “If you don’t speak up, we’ll sell you to the brothel.”

Li Mo quickly leaped forward, kicking the man away, and shouted, “What’s going on?”

At that time, there were hundreds of people around, both from the Qingxuan Sect and other sects’ disciples.

Wan Shajiang was taken aback when he saw Li Mo jump out with a few men, but quickly recognized Li Mo, knowing he was from the New City Sect. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “So it’s someone from the New City Sect, I am the new Sect Leader of the Qingxuan Sect, Wan Shajiang.” He knew that Li Mo was just a minor leader of the New City Sect, previously following the New City Sect Leader, but after all, the New City Sect had saved the Qingxuan Sect—if it weren’t for them, the Qingxuan Sect would have been breached by the Demon and Beast Clans long ago.

He hastily told the few overexcited disciples behind him to sheathe their swords.

“So it’s the new Sect Leader of the Qingxuan Sect,” Li Mo said coldly. He had heard about Wan Shajiang’s character: a spoiled and pampered young master, no good at all, with a pale face that revealed a hint of darkness.

“Yes, indeed, I am the new Sect Leader of the Qingxuan Sect,” he knew the other party looked down on him but did not mind it.

“What are you doing?” Li Mo asked, pointing at the girl behind him.

Wan Shajiang’s right-hand man, Zhu Sheng, said, “She’s a girl from Longhun’s side, we’re inquiring about Longhun’s whereabouts.”

Zhu Sheng was Wan Shajiang’s capable assistant, personally promoted by Wan Shajiang. Now that Wan Shajiang had become the Sect Leader of the Qingxuan Sect, he wanted to make a good impression.

“This is inquiring? It looks more like intimidation to me. ‘If you don’t tell, we’ll sell you to the brothel’—is this something a disciple of the Immortal and Demon Realms would do?” Li Mo spoke coldly.

Zhu Sheng felt quite embarrassed when he heard this, as those were his words. He quickly tried to explain, “That was just to scare her.”

“You’ve already beaten her to such a state, and that’s also just to scare her?”

“We were a bit too anxious; we just want to clear up Longhun’s whereabouts and eliminate that menace as soon as possible.”

Li Mo’s men helped the dirty Shi Xueqin to her feet, and they heard her utter, “I don’t know his whereabouts.”

“Heh, you say you don’t know and we should just believe you?” other disciples pointed and clamored from behind.

“It’s very normal for a girl not to know Longhun’s whereabouts,” Li Mo said.

Wan Shajiang responded, “Young Master Li, don’t be deceived by this maid; she is Longhun’s closest confidant, how could she possibly not know his whereabouts?” Losing the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual indeed made him quite dejected. If he could find Longhun through this girl, it would be a great achievement; perhaps he could even force Longhun to write out the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.

At that, Li Mo quickly shook his head and said, “No, it’s quite normal that she doesn’t know because I was the last one to see Longhun. At the Bell and Drum Establishment, he was defeated by Ye Chen, who had become the Wolf King, and in the end, a group of men in black took him away. So it’s very normal for this girl not to know Longhun’s whereabouts.”

“Taken away?” Wan Shajiang was somewhat incredulous, adding, “I know that group of people practices the Dragon Clan’s martial arts.”

“They were masked men. If those were truly Longhun’s subordinates, they would have come out to help Longhun at the Bell and Drum Establishment, but they didn’t help Longhun fight against us. Instead, they appeared only after Longhun was wounded. They were there to capture Longhun, not to save him. I saw it with my own eyes.” Although Li Mo couldn’t be sure at the moment, this explanation should allow the girl to escape danger.

Zhu Sheng said, “Even if she doesn’t know Longhun’s whereabouts, she’s still a member of the Dragon Slaying Clan and should be killed.”

Li Mo laughed and said, “Have the disciples of the Immortal and Demon Realms all become executioners? Dragon Slayer Island has already been breached by you, the Dragon Slaying Clan no longer exists, and this is just an unarmed girl; perhaps she was even captured by the Dragon Slayer Island’s people. Do you have the heart to kill her with one blow?”

As these words were spoken, the disciples behind him began to mutter among themselves, feeling that this was somewhat improper. The Dragon Slaying Clan had already been eradicated; continuing with such vengeance, when would the cycle of hatred end?

“We do hold a grudge against Dragon Slayer Island, indeed, but Longhun and his leaders are the real culprits. Dragon Slayer Island has been annihilated, and everything should come to an end. Why push for complete annihilation? Not to mention against a defenseless girl who poses no threat.”

Wan Shajiang laughed and said, “Indeed, Young Master Li speaks the truth, the matter has concluded.” It was no longer suitable for him to remain silent.

“You ought to be searching for Longhun, instead of pressuring a girl who knows nothing. This will make the people of the world laugh at the honor of the Immortal and Demon Realms.”

Recalling something, Wan Shajiang remembered clearly that this Li Mo was often seen with the Sect Leader of the New City Sect. He asked, “By the way, where is your Sect Leader?”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo became immediately vigilant and said, “How would I know where that wolf is? We’re also looking for him.”

“But he is your Sect Leader,” Wan Shajiang was not convinced.

“That’s all in the past. He indeed was our Sect Leader before, but he has turned into a Raging Wolf, a crazed wolf. How could he possibly be our Sect Leader? This isn’t a joke, let alone the fact that he killed hundreds in Bell and Drum City, those were innocent civilians. How could he still be our Sect Leader?” Li Mo changed his tone and said, “Please, if you have any news of that Raging Wolf, be sure to tell us. We also want to rid the people of this menace. Keeping him around, who knows how many more will die.”

Wan Shajiang found the conversation extremely dull.

Li Mo suddenly became much calmer and looked at the girl again. He said, “We are all righteous people, we can’t treat a girl like this. How would we be any different from the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

Wan Shajiang hurriedly nodded and said, “Exactly.”

Zhu Sheng, who was following behind Wan Shajiang, voiced his doubts, “We can’t trust what this guy says.”

“Have someone secretly follow them,” Wan Shajiang commanded. He could hardly believe the fellow’s deceitful words, but he was constrained by the favor the New City Sect owed to the Qingxuan Sect.

Zhu Sheng nodded in acknowledgment.

Li Mo waved his hand and shouted, “Stop looking, go about your business.”

Wan Shajiang, feeling bored, could only wave his hand and say, “Let’s go.”

Only Li Mo was left, who then asked the girl with concern, “Miss, are you alright?” He was about to say farewell.

But to his surprise, the girl fainted, clearly from exhaustion.

Li Mo quickly had someone support her, calling out several times, but the girl did not wake up, so they helped her over to the horse car.

Inside the horse car, Ye Chen had heard their conversation, Li Mo was supporting a girl as they approached.

Parting the curtains, Ye Chen asked, “What happened?”

“She’s fainted,” Li Mo exclaimed, “Damn, those guys were really brutal.”

Ye Chen quickly checked her pulse. The girl’s pulse was extremely weak. He called out, “Don’t go into the city, we’re heading to the mountain.” He also recognized the girl; she was the one who saved Wan Danrong.

“Going back to Dragonfly Mountain?”

“Yes.” He was still worried and decided it was best to take her back to the mountain quickly, to leave her in the care of the divine healer would be more reassuring.

“Then I will let my disciples buy some things.”

“Hurry.”

They did not enter the city but instead went straight for Dragonfly Mountain.

After traveling for about half an hour, Dragonfly Mountain was just ahead when a disciple ran over to Li Mo and said, “Chief, someone is following us.”

Li Mo was somewhat surprised, since Ye Chen’s killing spree in Bell and Drum City was no secret. He had been worried about being tracked and had been very cautious recently. How could they have been followed? He asked, “Are they people from the Qingxuan Sect?”

“Yes, it seems to be their men.”

Li Mo suddenly understood.

Ye Chen glanced at the turn in the road ahead lined with trees and said, “You go ahead and let us out here.”

The horse car stopped at the turn, Ye Chen carried the girl down, and Li Mo followed. The driver was switched out, and Li Mo instructed them to head towards the city as he and Ye Chen slipped into the woods with the girl.

The horse car continued on, and sure enough, three sneaky individuals followed behind.
