Black Demon Land.
After Mu Qing returned, he immediately headed for Elder Peak.
Mo Zi, her curves striking, was already waiting for Mu Qing. When she saw him appear, she smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents.
"The Black Demon Sect Master secretly intercepted the information earlier. Blackflame City's second request for aid was only delivered now."
Mo Zi explained.
Mu Qing nodded. "I know. But I thought the Black Demon Sect Master merely wanted to stop me. It seems he wanted to kill me even more!"
His expression darkened. Madam White possessed the strength of a Three-Tribulation Dominator, making her exceedingly formidable. Had he not coordinated with time suspension, he likely would not have been able to deal with Madam White even with Soul-Control Water alone.
Mo Zi's brows furrowed slightly at his words. "Are you sure?"
"Logically, he must know that your identity is connected to the Star Shepherd Emperor. How could he possibly try to kill you?"
Mu Qing was puzzled as well. He guessed, "Perhaps he wanted me to die at the hands of an Undead Domain expert, diverting the disaster eastward!"
"That's possible." Mo Zi's expression turned grave as well.
Then, she smiled disdainfully. "The Black Demon Sect Master may secretly use his methods to prevent Blackflame City's requests for aid from reaching me, but I can do the same in return!"
Mo Zi narrowed her lovely eyes into slits. "The Black Demon Sect Master still doesn't know that you returned alive!"
"After all, he has already gone to the Dark Heaven Sect's location. The Black Domain Grand Tournament is about to begin, and as the Black Demon Sect Master, he must arrive in advance."
Mu Qing's thoughts stirred, and he asked, "Have you uncovered anything regarding Ji Zhou colluding with Undead Domain experts?"
