A Concubine Delivered to His Door
Desperate to save his daughter, Xing Mo activated his escape light at full speed, making it impossible for Song Wen, who was lurking in the dense forest, to keep up.
Left with no other option, Song Wen had to find a secluded spot and use the Blood Escape Technique to traverse a distance of over two hundred miles.
Even so, Song Wen was still dozens of miles behind Xing Mo.
[Stop, I'm in the valley thirty miles behind you.] Song Wen relayed.
Xing Mo stopped his escape light and turned to enter the valley.
Where is my daughter?
Xing Mo saw that only Song Wen had appeared and questioned him sternly.
She's not here.
Where is she?
Xing Mo's expression became extremely tense, as if he were afraid that Song Wen had already harmed his daughter.
"Don't worry, she's fine. Come with me, I'll take you to see her."
Song Wen took to the air and flew eastward for a hundred miles before arriving above a small stream.
Xing Shan was lying on a large rock by the stream.
She remains unconscious.
Seeing that his daughter An Ran, Xing Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand and tossed out a jade bottle.
"Here's the Holy Spirit Pill you wanted. When will you release my daughter?"
"If there are no problems with the Holy Spirit Pill, I will naturally let you and your daughter leave An Ran."
Song Wen did not rashly try to catch the jade bottle with his hands, but instead used his Law Power to hold the jade bottle in place, causing it to float a hundred feet away.
After uncorking the bottle and confirming that it posed no danger, Song Wen Wencai took the jade bottle into his hand.
Inside the jade bottle was only one pill, about the size of a pigeon egg, with a deep red color, but with a grayish-white mist flowing around it, making it appear extremely mysterious.
Song Wen's face suddenly turned icy cold, and his eyes revealed a sharp killing intent.
"You actually tried to fool me with fake pills!"
The murderous aura emanating from Song Wen was so palpable that the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly.
"This elixir was taken from the Xing Family Treasury; how could it be fake?"
Xing Mo hurriedly began to explain, as if he truly knew nothing about the problem with the Holy Spirit Pill.
Song Wen poured the elixir out of the jade bottle and pinched it between two fingers.
"This pill does resemble the Holy Spirit Pill in appearance, but it lacks the unique spiritual essence of the Holy Spirit Pill!"
A flicker of panic crossed Xing Mo's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't need to deceive me. This pill is undoubtedly Holy Spirit Pill."
Song Wen smiled coldly, his eyes like ice. "It seems you are indeed loyal to the Xing Family, willing to sacrifice your and your daughter's lives to protect Xing Family interests."
His certainty that the elixir was fake stemmed from the fact that Shan Yue had seen the real Holy Spirit Pill, and she had described Holy Spirit Pill characteristics to Song Wen in detail.
Just as Xing Mo was about to say something, a deafening roar suddenly erupted.
This was accompanied by violent shaking of the earth.
Both Song Wen and Xing Mo looked toward Fangzhu City.
The rumbling sound came from Fangzhu City.
Even though they were nearly 300 miles apart, Song Wen and Xing Mo could see a hurricane raging above Fangzhu City.
The hurricane stood like a colossal pillar reaching to the heavens, towering between the earth and the sky.
Its summit soars into the clouds, its end nowhere in sight.
Its base plunged straight into Fangzhu City, spinning wildly, tearing apart everything around it and engulfing it.
The entire sky above Fangzhu City became dark and indistinct as a result.
The wind howled, the clouds churned, sand and stones flew, and houses were torn apart.
Countless cultivators, like insignificant ants, were mercilessly swallowed up by the hurricane.
"Who did this?"
Xing Mo's incredulous expression was tinged with an indescribable grief.
Fangzhu City, the city where he had lived for hundreds of years, is now likely to be destroyed.
"It seems your Xing Family has run into serious trouble. The one who attacked Fangzhu City should be the great Wind Eagle."
Song Wen stared intently at the hurricane.
He sensed an extremely dense Demon Qi amidst the hurricane.
Aside from the Wind Eagle, there is probably no other Demon Beast in the entire Sea of Disorder capable of unleashing such devastating wind-based Technique Method.
The presence of Wind Eagle in Fangzhu City implies that Yuan Hao should also be there.
Upon hearing this, Xing Mo glanced at Fangzhu City, then turned to look at Cloud Ridge Mountain.
He began to worry about the safety of the two Nascent Soul elders of the Xing Family.
Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao went to Cloud Ridge Mountain first, and now they have appeared in Fangzhu City, which makes him wonder if the two Nascent Soul Ancestors have encountered misfortune.
Xing Mo stared Fangzhu City for a long time, then suddenly flipped his hand, revealing a jade bottle.
"The true Holy Spirit Pill is inside this jade bottle. Fellow Daoist, you may wish to have it, but you must agree to one condition. Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, I will destroy the pill."
Upon hearing this, Song Wen did not get angry but laughed instead.
Only at this moment did he become certain that Xing Mo had indeed obtained the Holy Spirit Pill from the Xing Family Treasury.
"Brother Xing, please speak frankly! As long as it's within my power, I will do my best to help you."
Xing Mo pointed to the unconscious Xing Shan and said.
"I want you to take my daughter as a concubine, and I promise to ensure her safety for a hundred years."
Song Wen frowned, looking somewhat surprised.
He never expected that Xing Mo would make such a condition.
"Brother Xing, why is this?"
Xing Mo glanced at Fangzhu City with a worried expression; the hurricane was still raging.
The fact that the two Nascent Soul ancestors of the Xing Family had not yet appeared cast a shadow over Xing Mo's hopes for the future of the Xing Family.
"The Xing Family is likely doomed. I hope you can take Xing Shan and get away from Fangzhu City Island."
"Why didn't you take her and run away yourself?" Song Wen asked, puzzled.
Xing Mo gazed at Xing Shan with deep and solemn eyes, as if he wanted to engrave every detail of his daughter in his heart.
His eyes shone with a deep reluctance, like the afterglow of the setting sun, both warm and tinged with sadness.
"My lifespan is running out, and I can't protect her for many more years. Rather than die far from home, I'd rather use this crippled body to serve the Xing Family."
Song Wen said, "Brother Xing's courage is admirable. However, Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao are top-tier demons. With Brother Xing's strength, returning to Fangzhu City at this time would be nothing more than a moth drawn to a flame."
Xing Mo said, "You don't need to worry about this, fellow Daoist. My mind is made up. As long as you can protect Xing Shan for a hundred years, this Holy Spirit Pill will be yours."
Song Wen shook his head. "A hundred years is too long. I can't protect her for that long. Fellow Daoist, let's change our terms."
"Then help her Golden Core Pill!"
"Fellow Daoist, are you joking?"
Song Wen's voice suddenly turned cold. He no longer addressed him as "Brother Xing."
According to Shan Yue, Xing Shan is now over 130 years old and only has the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. This is only achieved by Xing Mo using a massive amount of resources.
If the Xing Family remains standing and Xing Shan continues to stay with the Xing Family, perhaps she still has a chance to reach the Core Formation stage.
However, once the Cultivation Resources provided by the Xing Family are lost, it is almost certain that Xing Shan will have no hope of forming her core in this lifetime unless she encounters an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I have already prepared Golden Core Pill for my daughter, so you won't have to spend too many Spirit Stones," Xing Mo said.
Song Wen shook his head again.
