Although she hadn't seen Tang Shen for forty years, Mo Tiange wouldn't mistake his tone.
After all, they were both locked up in Bixuan Court's Dao-Achieving Pagoda for twenty years, so they were already familiar with Tang Shen's tone and habitual phrases.
They stopped outside, and the Core Formation cultivator who caught Tang Shen said indifferently, "Let you go?
Brat, I was almost killed to save you. Is this how you treat your savior? "
Tang Shen was speechless. "I, I …"
Inside the room, Mo Tiange, who had concealed her breath, frowned slightly. Did he mean Tang Shen was snatched from someone else?
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Tang Shen!
Didn't he know he had a Pure Yang Constitution and would be discovered by high level cultivators if he didn't keep a low profile?
Although a Pure Yang Constitution wasn't as eye-catching as a Pure Yin Constitution, if one or two high level female cultivators fell in love with him, it would be a disaster!
Even if he didn't think of it, Wei Haolan wouldn't think of it either, right?
She actually let him come to Kunwu just like that!
She didn't know whether someone came with him or not, and if so, where was he now?
She needed Tang Shen to answer so many questions. Mo Tiange clenched the Heaven and Earth Fan in her hand. No matter what, she had to save Tang Shen first.
"Brat, you're lucky to run into me. You have to be grateful, understand?" After the man finished speaking, a sword aura suddenly shot through the window.
Mo Tiange unfolded the Heaven and Earth Fan. Mountains and rivers appeared indistinctly, blocking the sword aura. Then she shook her sleeves, activating the formation disk and the formation flags. The Four Symbols Hundred Flowers Formation was ready to be launched!
"Hmph!"
Seeing that his attack didn't succeed, the man immediately retreated and said coldly, "A mere early stage Core Formation cultivator dares to ambush me!
Your Breath-Concealing Technique is brilliant, but unfortunately, my divine sense found you one step ahead of me! "
Mo Tiange's heart trembled. I see!
She thought her divine sense was strong enough, but this man's divine sense wasn't weak either. Before she concealed her breath, he'd already discovered her!
She had to pay attention to this point in the future; she mustn't neglect it again.
However, although this man was a late stage Core Formation cultivator and a sword cultivator, she wasn't afraid!
She had already figured out how to use the Heaven and Earth Fan, and with the Four Symbols Hundred Flowers Formation here, her chances of winning were extremely high. Even if she couldn't win, she could still run away.
The Four Symbols Hundred Flowers Formation was activated, and light shone. The Four Symbols Divine Beasts flickered faintly at its four corners, and countless flower petals fluttered above the light barrier.
Whether it was the Four Symbols or the Hundred Flowers, they were the result of spiritual energy flashing. They weren't real, but the killing intent hidden within them was real!
The sword light flashed again and shot in through the window. However, the moment it touched the Four Symbols Hundred Flowers Formation, it was blocked by the light shield. At the same time, countless petals rushed out and almost swallowed the person.
Through the window, Mo Tiange saw the man pulling Tang Shen. Sword lights danced around his body, blocking all the petals outside. In the end, his sword aura surged and pushed all the petals back!
The petals scattered, revealing a male cultivator dressed in blue robes.
"It's you!" Mo Tiange shouted.
Hearing her voice, both of them were startled at the same time.
Tang Shen was then overjoyed: "Elder Ye!"
This sword cultivator in the late stage of the Core Formation realm in blue robes was Jing Xingzhi!
Jing Xingzhi slowed down and showed a puzzled expression. After a while, he seemed to recognize her voice. "You're … Mo Qingwei?!"
Mo Tiange held the formation flag in her hand. With a light wave, the Four Symbols Hundred Flowers Formation stopped.
She said, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Jing, long time no see."
Although she said this calmly, Mo Tiange's heart was in turmoil.
The last time she saw Jing Xingzhi was when she ran into Master Song Feng and almost fell into his trap.
When she woke up later, Jing Xingzhi was no longer there. Qin Xi told him to leave first.
This action made Mo Tiange feel relieved at that time.
Even though nothing had happened, it was still unpleasant to see Jing Xingzhi.
It had been a long time since the incident happened. She and Qin Xi were living well and had long forgotten about Jing Xingzhi. She didn't expect him to also escape from Demonic Mountain and meet him here.
Jing Xingzhi was silent for a while then said, "Long time no see."
The light in the room was lit. Mo Tiange opened the window, and Jing Xingzhi landed with Tang Shen.
After more than ten years, Jing Xingzhi still looked the same. However, he seemed to be injured now, and his spiritual aura was a bit unstable.
Tang Shen was happy. As soon as he saw Mo Tiange, he was pleasantly surprised. "Elder Ye, it's really you!
You've advanced to the Core Formation realm! "
Mo Tiange smiled at him. Tang Shen's cultivation level was still in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm, but he was already at the peak. Maybe he came to Kunwu this time to gain experience?
Then she said to Jing Xingzhi, "Fellow Daoist Jing, I don't know how my friend offended you. If he did, I'll apologize to you on his behalf."
Jing Xingzhi glanced at her then looked at Tang Shen with a frown. "You know each other?"
"Yes." Mo Tiange still smiled. "Fellow Daoist Jing, please be magnanimous."
After a while, seeing that Jing Xingzhi didn't respond, she said, "If my friend offended you, Fellow Daoist Jing, please tell me. I'll compensate for him."
"Compensate?" Jing Xingzhi glanced at her with a faint smile. "How will Fellow Daoist Qingwei compensate him?
This child has a Pure Yang Constitution, so he's a good target for female cultivators to pluck. I'm afraid you can't compensate someone like him, right? "
Mo Tiange's expression changed. Jing Xingzhi actually knows about Tang Shen's constitution?
What did this Tang Shen do to attract other people's attention?
Although constitutions and spiritual roots couldn't be concealed from high level cultivators, which high level cultivator would be so bored as to check the aptitudes of low level cultivators for no reason?
"But …" Jing Xingzhi's tone changed. "Since Fellow Daoist Qingwei said so, it wouldn't be good for me to not let him go. Fellow Daoist can just take this boy away."
His eyes flashed, but he said, "I just don't know if Fellow Daoist Shoujing will be jealous if he finds out."
Mo Tiange paused for a moment, then her expression turned cold. "You don't need to worry about this, Fellow Daoist Jing!"
Jing Xingzhi smiled. He didn't get angry and said to Tang Shen, "Boy, you can go now."
Tang Shen didn't dare to believe that he got his freedom so easily. "Senior, are you really willing to let me go?"
Jing Xingzhi lowered his eyes and said, "If it was someone else, I wouldn't mind. Since Mo Qingwei asked, how could I refuse?"
Mo Tiange should be happy that Jing Xingzhi gave her face like this, but the meaning behind his words made it seem like the two of them had a special relationship, which made her feel suffocated.
Just as she felt annoyed, she heard Jing Xingzhi continue to say, "In any case, I wronged you and Qin Shoujing before. Today, I'll return this boy to you, so I'll pay you back."
Mo Tiange was stunned, and the unhappiness in her heart vanished.
That matter wasn't Jing Xingzhi's fault. He also fell into her trap, but he still felt that he wronged her and Qin Xi, which could be considered as having some affection for them.
After a moment of silence, Mo Tiange said softly, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jing."
Jing Xingzhi waved his hand, found a chair to sit down, and was about to pour a cup of tea when he suddenly coughed twice.
Mo Tiange could hear the surging spiritual aura in his coughs. Obviously, he was injured and couldn't suppress it anymore.
She thought for a moment then took out a jade bottle from inside her robe and put it down. She said, "These medicinal pills can be considered my thanks to you on his behalf."
From the conversation she heard with Tang Shen before, Jing Xingzhi snatched Tang Shen from someone else's hands. From this point of view, it could be said that Jing Xingzhi saved Tang Shen.
Jing Xingzhi's gaze fell on the jade bottle, but he didn't refuse. "Then I won't be polite."
Mo Tiange smiled, gave Tang Shen a meaningful look and said, "That being the case, we'll take our leave first. See you later."
Jing Xingzhi nodded but turned around, no longer looking at them.
With a wave of her hand, Mo Tiange summoned the White Silk Handkerchief and flew away with Tang Shen.
The sky was already dark, and the city gate of Kunzhong City was closed. There were restrictions on the city gate, so it was very troublesome to break them.
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then took Tang Shen to Xuanqing School's branch in Kunzhong City to settle down for the time being.
The arrival of a Core Formation elder made the manager of this branch very nervous. When he found out that Mo Tiange was only here to stay, he vacated a very good courtyard for her.
After the two of them settled down in the courtyard and Mo Tiange dismissed the others, she finally had a chance to ask Tang Shen, "What happened?
Why did you come to Kunwu and still fall into someone else's hands? "
Tang Shen was surprised to see a group of Foundation Building cultivators treating Mo Tiange with respect. Upon hearing her question, he hastily answered, "Elder Ye, I came to look for you."
"Oh?"
Mo Tiange was even more puzzled. "That day, I left my identity and name. Since you came to look for me, you should've come to Xuanqing School and asked to see me. Why was I captured midway?
What kind of accident happened in the end?
Also, why did you come to look for me? "It couldn't be that there was a problem with Bixuan Court, right?
Upon hearing her question, Tang Shen immediately told her these things bit by bit, not daring to omit any details.
As it turned out, Tang Shen came to Kunwu more than ten years ago.
All these years, Bixuan Court never produced a Core Formation cultivator, so Tang Shen had always held the position of an elder.
However, ever since they discovered a spirit stone vein in the Eastern Sea, Bixuan Court's situation improved a lot. They could now afford any medicinal pills or spiritual objects they needed.
Tang Shen came to Kunwu because two late stage Bixuan Court cultivators' cultivation was progressing smoothly, so they could prepare to form their Gold Cores. Medicinal pills for forming one's Gold Core couldn't be bought even in Kunwu with spirit stones, so Wei Haolan had no choice but to ask Mo Tiange for help. Since Mo Tiange was a disciple of a big cultivation group, she might have some connections, so she wanted to ask Mo Tiange for help.
When Tang Shen heard about this, he insisted on coming to Kunwu. Wei Haolan originally didn't agree, but Tang Shen was very determined. Since she couldn't win him over, she let him come.
Speaking of which, Tang Shen was really unlucky. Tang Shen was no longer the Young Master Tang who knew nothing in the past. Ever since he arrived in Kunwu, he always kept a low profile, but his appearance as the son of an aristocratic family still attracted bad people in the end.
His strength wasn't weak, but after he counterattacked, he happened to run into a Nascent Soul cultivator who was interested in him. As a result, that Nascent Soul cultivator discovered Mo Tiange's constitution and immediately captured him!
At that time, Demonic Mountain was about to open. That Nascent Soul cultivator took Mo Tiange with him and entered Demonic Mountain. Originally, he planned to deal with Mo Tiange after they left Demonic Mountain; apparently, he wanted to use Mo Tiange as a Human Furnace for a junior.
Unexpectedly, an unforeseen event happened on Demonic Mountain. That Nascent Soul cultivator died on Demonic Mountain, and Tang Shen fell into the hands of that cultivator's disciple.
That Nascent Soul cultivator's disciple's cultivation level was already in the middle stage of the Core Formation realm. Because Jade Palace was dangerous, that Nascent Soul cultivator let his disciple take Tang Shen out of Demonic Mountain first. Because of that, the two of them escaped a calamity.
