Willingly becoming medicine
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you going to consider this carefully? You can choose one of the two conditions. This Holy Spirit Pill is yours."
Xing Mo raised the jade bottle in his hand and said.
Song Wen pondered for a moment, then replied.
"Brother Xing, I also have a deal to make. Would you be interested in hearing it?"
"Speak freely!"
"Brother Xing, spare your own life and nurture your daughter well. Brother Xing has another twenty or thirty years to live; that's a long time, enough to raise your daughter's cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage. At that time, I can refine a pill for her to help her overcome the mental tribulation when she forms her Golden Core."
"Such miraculous pills exist? Why have I never heard of them before?" Xing Mo frowned in doubt.
Song Wen raised his hand and tossed out a Jade Slip.
The Jade Slip contained part of the Pill Formula for the 'Barrier-Breaking Pill'.
Xing Mo took the Jade Slip and probed it with his Divine Sense. When he saw that the main ingredient for Alchemy was the flesh and soul of his closest relative, his body trembled violently.
He scrutinized Song Wen with a look of shock and disdain in his eyes.
"Brother Xing, please don't look at me like that. I have never refined this pill. I have always been a loner and have no close relatives."
Upon hearing this, Xing Mo suppressed the disdain in his eyes and asked.
"Are you an Alchemist?"
Song Wen nodded and said, "Yes!"
Xing Mo stared at Xing Shan, pondered for a long time, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Okay! I promise you."
At Xing Mo's request, Song Wen made Soul Oath: he would not take the initiative to deal with Xing Mo and his daughter, and when Xing Shan advanced to the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage, Song Wen would help her refine Barrier-Breaking Pill.
Xing Mo delivered the Holy Spirit Pill to Song Wen as promised.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the Holy Spirit Pill, Song Wen put it away.
"Brother Xing, where do you plan to take your daughter to cultivate?"
Xing Mo said, "Fangzhu Island is definitely not a place to stay, and I can't think of a suitable place for the time being. Do you have any suggestions, fellow Daoist?"
Song Wen said, "Judging from the current situation, the two Nascent Soul elders of the Xing Family, as well as Jing Wuming, the number one cultivator of the Jing Family, are probably all in grave danger."
"The fall of Fangzhu Island to the demon race is inevitable. The entire eastern region of the Chaotic Sea is probably no longer safe. Even the northern region of the Chaotic Sea, which is occupied by the Jing family, will likely be invaded by the demon race."
"Of the remaining three major forces, the Cui Family and Limitless Island are demonic forces, while Brother Xing cultivates righteous Cultivation Method. The best place for him is the Two Forms Sect in the Central Region."
Xing Mo said, "Fellow Daoist is right. How about we set off together for the Two Forms Sect? That way we can look after each other."
Song Wen nodded.
According to his guess, Yuan Hao Wind Eagle's sudden attack Fangzhu Island was to occupy it. Therefore, neither of them could have come alone. There must have been a large number of Demon Race assisting them.
These Demon Race forces have not yet shown themselves, and are likely hiding in the waters surrounding Fangzhu Island, intercepting and killing fleeing Human Race cultivators.
Having a Late Golden Core Stage cultivator with you makes things a bit safer.
Most importantly, in a moment of crisis, they could use the other party to attract the attention of the Demon Race, giving Song Wen a chance to escape.
As for Xing Shan, Song Wen only promised not to attack her and to refine Barrier-Breaking Pill for her, but did not swear to protect her safety.
If she dies on the way, Song Wen won't even need to refine any pills for her.
Xing Mo leaped down and landed in front of Xing Shan.
After he injected a stream of Law Power into Xing Shan's body, Xing Shan slowly woke up.
"Father! What's wrong with me?"
"Ouch! My head hurts so much!"
"I remember now, it was a third-tier Gu Worm that ambushed me. Where is the Gu Worm?"
Xing Shan looked panicked and used her Divine Sense to search around herself.
"Don't worry, it's all over now. Your father is here, no one will hurt you," Xing Mo said gently.
He summoned a small spaceship, Law Power to drag his daughter aboard.
"Fellow Daoist, would you like to ride on the same spaceship?"
Song Wen said, "No need, I need to find someone. I'll trouble you to come with me."
After saying that, Song Wen darted into the dense forest.
Right now, Yuan Hao Wind Eagle are just two hundred miles away, traveling in a spaceship. If they were to be noticed by the two demons, it would be tantamount to courting death.
Through Song Wen's actions, Xing Mo also realized this.
He packed up the spaceship and switched to a flying boat.
The flying boat was less than ten feet long, but it was enough to carry him and Xing Shan through the mountains and forests.
"Father, where are we going? And who is he?"
Xing Shan noticed that the flying boat was moving away from Fangzhu City and asked curiously.
"Don't ask so many questions now, I'll explain later," Xing Mo said.
Fifteen minutes later.
Song Wen found Shan Yue hiding in a cave in Cave hollow.
"Extreme Yin, you've arrived! Did you get the Holy Spirit Pill?"
She had already spoken when she noticed Xing Mo and his daughter following behind Song Wen.
"How did they get here?" Shan Yue's expression changed drastically.
"I'll tell you the details later. Something big has happened on Fangzhu Island; we can't stay any longer. We need to leave Fangzhu Island as soon as possible. Brother Xing and his daughter will leave with us."
As he spoke, Song Wen withdrew the Shadow Gu that had been tracking Shan Yue.
"Madam Shan Yue, I never expected we'd meet again."
Xing Mo, who had just entered the Cave, said to Shan Yue.
"I am no longer a lady. Senior Xing Mo, you can just call me by my name," Shan Yue replied.
She turned to look at Xing Shan, and the two women exchanged a glance, both with a slightly awkward expression.
Previously, the two had used their past relationship to plot against each other. Moreover, both were fully aware that the other was plotting against them.
"Fellow Daoist, which direction should we leave the island from?" Xing Mo asked Song Wen.
Song Wen said, "The Demon Race has probably already surrounded Fangzhu Island. It's not safe to leave the island from any direction."
"Perhaps we can lie in wait on Fangzhu Island. Fangzhu Island is no less than 100,000 li in circumference. Even if the Demon Race occupies Fangzhu Island, it is impossible for them to search the entire island. It is not too late to leave the island after the storm has passed," Xing Mo said.
"I don't intend to stay on Fangzhu Island for long."
Why?
"It is highly likely that Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao have both advanced to the Fourth-Tier Peak Stage. Unless the major Human Race forces join forces, it will be difficult to defeat the Demon Race and force them to withdraw from Fangzhu Island. The Demon Race will not easily give up Fangzhu Island. Once other low-level Demon Race land on the Fangzhu Island, there will probably be Human Race to stand. A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall; it is best to leave Fangzhu Island as soon as possible."
Song Wen's true thoughts were not as he claimed.
The two great demons, Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao, were currently besieging Fangzhu City and were unable to spare any attention.
For Song Wen, who possessed the Blood Escape Technique and Death-Substitute Puppet, this was the best opportunity to escape.
As long as he doesn't encounter other fourth-tier Demon Race, he is absolutely confident that he can leave Fangzhu Island An Ran.
Even for an Early Fourth-Tier Stage Demon Beast, killing Song Wen wouldn't be easy if the opponent wasn't skilled in escape techniques.
"Alright, then let's do as you say. Which direction should we leave the island from?" Xing Mo asked.
"Fangzhu Island is located in the eastern part of the Inner Sea of the Chaotic Sea. The demon army is coming from the outer sea, approaching Fangzhu Island from the east. If the cultivators on the island want to escape, they must flee to the west, which is also the closest direction to the Liangyi Sect. The demons will definitely take this into account and deploy heavy troops on the west side of the island. Therefore, our best escape directions are to the south and the north," Song Wen said.
