"Fifth Brother," Chen Mo called out and waved as he rode his horse towards Mo Hu in the distance.
Since meeting up with Zhao Yuncheng, they now had two horse-drawn carriages and two horses.
He rode one of the horses, scouting ahead, while Zhao Yuncheng and the other new recruits followed behind with the supplies.
Mo Hu was also quite happy to see him and quickly jumped off the carriage, rushing towards Chen Mo.
"Did something go wrong on your end?" he asked as he reached Chen Mo.
Undoubtedly, his side must have also encountered some unexpected situations.
"That's right. Did you also run into some strangely skilled demonic individuals?" Chen Mo asked as he dismounted.
"Yeah, we did encounter a demonic individual. Not only was his strength comparable to mine, but the key thing was that he was impervious to weapons. No weapon could harm him, not even martial artists who practiced tough external martial arts possessed such an indestructible body."
Mo Hu frowned slightly, clearly finding it troublesome to deal with someone who was invulnerable to weapons.
"Fortunately, we had enough people and brought some ropes, which allowed us to barely capture the opponent." He gestured towards the carriage slowly approaching them, where layers of hemp ropes tightly bound a person.
Although that person was impervious to weapons, he was still human, not a monster.
The knots on the ropes binding him were very tight and difficult to break. Forcing himself to struggle would even tear his bones apart.
"Then the situation you encountered was much better than what Seventh Brother and I went through," Chen Mo sighed softly, briefly recounting what he and Zhao Yuncheng had encountered.
Mo Hu listened very carefully, his expression growing increasingly astonished. Even just hearing the account, he could imagine how terrifying that situation must have been.
The opponent he faced was simply too weak compared to Chen Mo and the others.
While his opponent was strange, it was still within the scope of what ordinary people could understand.
What Chen Mo and the others encountered was clearly not something ordinary people could comprehend.
"Haha, you know how powerful the Celestial Master is now, right? Hurry up and let me go. I'll beg the Celestial Master for you, and he might even leave you with a complete corpse," the person bound by Mo Hu suddenly burst into laughter, his tone quite arrogant.
"They encountered a Celestial Master, so what are you?" Mo Hu asked with a smile, trying to elicit information.
The reason he hadn't simply gagged the person was to extract more information and understand the specific situation.
"I am, of course, from the Du Tian Dao Sect..." The person started to speak, but then immediately realized he had said too much and quickly fell silent.
"Didn't you interrogate him?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.
"No way. This guy is impervious to weapons and feels nothing no matter how you hit him. I figured if all else fails, I'll go out and find some black dog blood and virgin boy urine to try." Mo Hu shook his head and replied in a low voice.
There was a folk saying that virgin boy urine and black dog blood could break evil magic. He couldn't use it now, so he could only go out and find it later.
"I've heard that martial artists have much stronger Qi and Blood than ordinary people, and it can also break evil magic. I wonder if it would work?" Chen Mo looked at the person and asked.
The Qi and Blood surging within him could repel the words trying to invade his mind, and perhaps it could also break through this person's invulnerability.
"Will that work?" Mo Hu's tone held a hint of doubt, but Chen Mo had already cut open his palm.
Even if it didn't work, he would only lose a little blood. With his recovery speed, the wound would likely heal by tonight.
As his blood spilled, the person initially felt nothing. However, as Chen Mo's blood splattered on him.
It hissed like water droplets hitting a scorching hot iron plate.
The person's previously robust physique was now slowly diminishing. The reddish hue on his skin, caused by the flow of Qi and Blood, was now changing to a normal person's skin color.
The smile on his face froze, and he finally showed a panicked expression.
"Speak! What is your name? Why are you here? What is your connection to those demonic individuals? Who are they, and what are they doing!" Chen Mo demanded sternly.
The person remained stubborn and refused to speak. Seeing this, Mo Hu didn't hesitate and dragged him off the carriage, throwing him to the ground.
"Damn it, are you going to talk or not!" As he finished speaking, he transformed his spear into a staff and smashed it directly towards the person's palm.
With just one strike, the entire palm instantly contorted, and several finger bones were crushed.
With his fingers connected to his heart, even though the person was tightly bound, he couldn't help but let out a howl and struggle.
Fortunately, his strength was far less than before, so there was no need to worry about him breaking his own bones.
Mo Hu's method of interrogation was simple and crude. No extra nonsense, just hitting.
Not long after, both of the person's hands had been reduced to a bloody mess.
It had to be said that this method was indeed effective. Under severe torture, Mo Hu obtained most of the information Chen Mo wanted in just two quarters of an hour.
These demonic individuals all came from the Du Tian Dao Sect. Those within the sect who, after undergoing the ritual, possessed great strength and were impervious to weapons were called Lishi, while those who could use their tongues and arms to injure people were called Celestial Masters.
Furthermore, they referred to their tongues and arms as flying swords, and Celestial Masters killed enemies using these flying swords.
They were not from Xingyuan Prefecture but had come from Anyang Prefecture. The reason they came was that those Celestial Masters said there was something ripe in this area, and they had come to retrieve it.
The reason he had separated from those Celestial Masters was that he was not qualified to access these things, so he could only wait at the original location, which was why Mo Hu was able to capture him.
According to him, there were a total of five Celestial Masters who had come with him this time, and they had all gone to different places.
This was all the information he knew; beyond this, he knew nothing else.
His status within the Du Tian Dao Sect was very low, only slightly better than ordinary followers. He could be considered an insider.
However, according to his taunts, if Chen Mo and the others dared to attack the Celestial Masters, the Du Tian Dao Sect would definitely not let Chen Mo and the others off.
Chen Mo naturally paid no mind to this threat.
If he hadn't killed the other party then, they would have killed him.
As the saying goes, "Better to meet the County Magistrate than the coroner."
Any future danger was a problem for later; if he hadn't killed the other party before, he wouldn't be alive now.
"You take him, ride two horses, and quickly return to report what happened here to Yifu. I'll go find the other brothers, and once we find them, we'll leave together," Mo Hu said, untying the reins from his horse.
Although they didn't know for sure what the Du Tian Dao Sect intended to do, one thing was clear.
There were still four demonic individuals alive in this area. Even if one of them was heavily injured, the other three were not to be underestimated.
Under these circumstances, whoever could disengage from this area first would undoubtedly be safer. Staying here carried inherent risks.
"You few push a cart and escort Seventh Brother to Qingmu County first. You few come with me to find the others."
After a moment's thought, Mo Hu quickly issued his orders.
Chen Mo was young, and as his elder brother, he had to look after him. Therefore, he assigned him the relatively safe task of seeking reinforcements.
As for his seventh brother, Zhao Yuncheng, who had lost an arm, he would only be a burden if he stayed. He arranged for someone to escort him to Qingmu County to recuperate.
As for himself, he had to find the others and urge them to leave quickly.
From the way the demonic individuals attacked Zhao Yuncheng without a word, it was clear they were not to be trifled with. He had to warn the others to leave.
"Fifth Brother, please be very careful," Chen Mo earnestly cautioned Mo Hu.
He nodded without saying much and, leading a group of people, hurried off to find Mo Dao.
Chen Mo also quickly mounted his horse and rode off to the military camp to seek aid.
