Chapter 440: Chapter 439 Determined to Seek Death

The ancestor of the Mo Family had lived even longer than Qiansha.

Having resided at the border for over a thousand years, his status was exceptional. He believed he had saved countless lives and was deeply revered; almost everyone fawned over him, let alone dared to attack him openly.

Most of the time, everyone would just follow his lead.

To him, Chaoyan was merely a junior, someone whose name he had heard a few times.

People like Wenzhong might be somewhat apprehensive around him.

But in the eyes of the Mo Family ancestor, Chaoyan was just a nuisance to be killed upon encounter. He had intended to strip the Vermilion Bird’s Flame from him, but the latter had self-detonated instead, infuriating him...

He hadn’t obtained the Strange Fire yet, and now Qiansha had destroyed his medicinal garden?

For an alchemist, the allure of Strange Fire was immense; seeing it but not being able to possess it was unbearably frustrating.

He hadn’t quite caught his breath when he returned to the border.

Bang!

Qiansha didn’t listen to him at all.

She truly wanted to kill him, aiming for his life with every move.

When it came to the arts of alchemy and medicine, the Mo Family ancestor was unrivaled in the entire Cultivation World, but his combat abilities were no match for Lord Qiansha.

Lord Qiansha could be said to have emerged from a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses.

If it hadn’t been for the many life-saving items on the Mo Family ancestor, he would have been blasted to death by Lord Qiansha from the start.

The fight between the two was not a small affair.

It caused a disturbance in the entire border defense area, attracting the attention of many powerhouses.

The cave dwelling where the Mo Family ancestor resided was the safest place in the defense area. There were dwellings of other strong beings around, and if enemies attacked, they couldn’t even reach his place.

The sudden commotion was akin to having the rear thrown into upheaval. However, when their Divine Senses saw Qiansha and the Mo Family ancestor, despite clearly seeing the latter in a dire state, nearly killed several times, not a single person stepped forward to help.

This clearly showed that the so-called reverence and adulation the Mo Family ancestor believed he commanded was, in fact, mixed with a lot of flattery.

The Mo Family ancestor tried to dodge Qiansha’s sword light but failed, getting his shoulder slashed. The defenses of his robe were activated, but Qiansha was set on killing him, not holding back any power.

The robe’s defenses only blocked a good portion of the force.

The next moment, the robe was shattered by the sword light, blood spraying.

Qiansha didn’t stop, another sword strike coming forth.

"Clang!"

Someone blocked the killing move.

When this person appeared, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

The newcomer was a male cultivator in his thirties, radiating energy of slaughter so intense that one could be shocked by his formidable killing aura. He wasn’t particularly burly, yet he possessed an imposing presence.

In the midst of slaughter, he stood with an air of righteousness.

This man was extremely powerful, capable of killing with a flick of his finger.

Standing beside him, Qiansha felt a subtle sense of being suppressed.

The man asked calmly and unruffled, "Qiansha, what are you doing?"

"You should be asking what they were trying to do," retorted Lord Qiansha with irony in her voice.

Without denying or showing any shame, the Mo Family ancestor arrogantly said, "Alliance Hierarch, it’s just the mistaken killing of a junior from the Tianxu Sect. What’s the big fuss? Today, she has destroyed my medicinal garden, harming the interests of the border. This is not over, Qiansha must replenish the Spiritual Medicine for me; otherwise, don’t even think about getting me to perform alchemy..."

Boom!

Lord Qiansha suddenly made a move.

She struck the Mo Family ancestor into the air and pinned him to the ground, pounding him with punch after punch.

She aimed specifically at the Mo Family ancestor’s face.

She knocked out his teeth, then pummeled his face into a pig’s head.

As long as she did not use a lethal move, the nearby Alliance Hierarch didn’t intervene or care about the Mo Family ancestor’s ranting.

"Alliance Hierarch, hurry and stop Qiansha; she’s gone mad..."

"Qiansha, you crazy woman, stop it right now! If you hurt me, no one will be able to refine high-rank elixirs, and if you all get injured, just wait for death!"

"You really don’t know what’s good for you. I definitely won’t save you in the future, nor will I treat anyone from the Tianxu Sect..."

Just as Lord Qiansha’s eyes suddenly turned fiercely ruthless, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

But the hand she had raised was once again seized by the Alliance Hierarch.

Lord Qiansha sneered and communicated through her divine sense, "A person driven by self-interest with no ethical bottom line, do you really still want to use him?"

"Right now, he’s the only one who can refine Ninth Grade elixirs."

The presence of the Mo Family ancestor was pivotal for the frontier. Once someone undergoes Divinity Transformation and gets injured, ordinary elixirs are ineffective, and at the very least, elixirs above the eighth grade are needed.

Dying in the frontier was quite normal.

The fall of high-rank powerhouses was even more commonplace.

At such times, a Ninth Grade Pill Master became exceptionally precious.

The Mo Family ancestor had spent nearly a thousand years in the frontier, not because he was nobly selfless and dedicated, nor because he wanted to stay here indefinitely, but rather because he had been left here through a mix of threats and incentives from the Alliance Hierarch.

The Alliance Hierarch transmitted through divine sense, "He must not die. As for the others... do as you please."

Upon hearing this, Lord Qiansha indifferently pulled her hand back.

It seemed she had compromised.

This made the Alliance Hierarch secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just as she was getting up, she suddenly planted her foot onto the chest of the Mo Family ancestor with a thud that echoed loudly. What appeared to be an ordinary kick was, in fact, intended to take his life.

But it must be said, the Mo Family ancestor had many life-saving items on him. At the crucial moment, a light suddenly flashed, protecting his heart meridian, and instead, the ground beneath him was struck, leaving a large crater.

There, the Mo Family ancestor lay at the bottom of the pit, spitting blood, and trying to open his swollen eyes, now just slits, and despite attempting to curse, his words were muffled and unclear.

Lord Qiansha leaped into the air and swept her sleeves across the ground.

The surrounding dirt that had been tossed up instantly buried the individual in the pit, silencing the annoying noise.

In an instant, Lord Qiansha had left the scene.

The Alliance Hierarch looked at the ground with disgust and commanded, "Guanlan, dig him out; don’t let him suffocate to death."

Another glance, and he worried he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself from acting first.

Then, like a gust of wind, he disappeared from the spot.

A man in a black robe emerged from the darkness and began to dig where the Mo Family ancestor was buried, digging rather slowly. In fact, even if he were a bit slower, it wouldn’t have resulted in the Mo Family ancestor’s death.

Divinity Transformation was not so frail.

Mo Yan arrived in a rush and, upon seeing the situation, immediately came over to rescue the man. With his arrival, the man in the black robe stopped digging altogether and simply stood by watching.

This indifferent attitude enraged Mo Yan, "Lord Guanlan, is this how you act? My family’s ancestor is the only Ninth Grade Pill Master in the frontier..."

"Oh."

He responded but remained motionless.

The many divine senses focused on the scene, realizing the matter had concluded, also withdrew one after another, pretending they had noticed nothing.

Guanlan’s attitude largely reflected that of the Alliance Hierarch. To survive in the frontier, they didn’t mind flattering the Mo Family ancestor to his face.

But to actually do something for him, forget it.

Some people started inquiring secretly why Lord Qiansha wanted to kill him. When they found out that fool had dared to murder Chaoyan, they all inwardly cursed him for seeking death and wished he wouldn’t involve them.

Who would they turn to for high-rank elixirs in the future?

They still needed to plan an escape route.

Because they didn’t believe Qiansha would really let the matter go. In their view, the Mo Family ancestor was already a dead man, and as soon as someone could replace him to refine Ninth Grade elixirs, it would mark his death.

They couldn’t understand—wasn’t it good to simply live?

Why did he insist on seeking death...
