Chapter 1270: Going Alone
and also a scholar. He is not an ordinary ruffian. My heart feels at ease with him because we understand each other."The daughter isn't stupid. If she had been kidnapped that day, even if my sister...Mo Shangchen naturally saw the powder in the slot, but he didn't mention it separately. However, Lianri didn't have any scruples. She took this opportunity to expose Lian Xiye's selfishness and coldness for everyone to see, making his fellow disciples see him more clearly.
This "outsider" of hers wanting to ruin Lian Yexi's reputation wasn't easy, but the words spoken by Du Yan and her fellow disciples who had adventured with him were more convincing.
Du Yan and the other two looked at the gray ash of the spirit stones in the slot. Their expressions were still calm, after all, throughout their journey together, they had all more or less seen through Lian Ye's character.
Although practitioners fight fate, opportunities are earned by themselves. Yet, now they are a team, even someone like Eileen who joined halfway through is more reliable than him, the fellow disciple and initiator. So, she understands his selfish choice, but she can't agree with it.
The ripples were very clear. Why would Lian Yexi make such a choice It was simply because all the previous opportunities had been snatched away by her, leaving him with very little in his hands. Naturally, he wouldn't be happy about it, and he also felt ostracized by everyone. This made Lian Yexi, who had an extremely strong sense of self-esteem, unable to bear it, so he desperately wanted to prove himself.
Also because she had advanced to a higher level of cultivation again, Lian Yexi felt that he was being outdone. And deep down, he had some other feelings for her.
If his cultivation level falls too far behind and he can't prove his talent and good fortune, he won't be able to stand on the same level as her. Over time, others naturally won't take him seriously anymore.
Because of all of the above, Lian Xiye chose to venture alone only at dusk.
"Let's clean this up first and see if we can get it started."
Mo Shangchen said nonchalantly, anyway, the Wanxiang Pan was already in hand, and the other gains were just icing on the cake.
"Tornado!"
Ripple greeted with a voice, and Windstorm understood its master's meaning. Waving its claws, it dug open all the stones on the teleportation formation, exposing the entire foundation of the formation.
Ripple narrowed her fox eyes, studying for a long time. Suddenly, her eyelid twitched. She always felt that the runes on the formation base were familiar, with many similarities to the characters currently used by the demon clan. Could it be that this teleportation array was established by a powerful ancestor of the demon clan
The text on the teleportation formation is somewhat similar to the demonic script.
Mo Shangchen casually said something, which also confirmed Lian Yi's guess.
"Fellow traveler, do you mean that this teleportation array can send us to the demon tribe"
Ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I'm not sure about that. All I can see is that this teleportation array was most likely set up by a powerful demon cultivator, but it's been so long ago that the current demon clan probably doesn't have anyone with such power."
Mo Shangchen said with great certainty.
A ripple of his lips twitched, and suddenly he felt a sense of being scorned.
"Can this teleportation array still operate"
"You'll have to try it with a spirit stone to find out."
On the street of strangers, he spoke uncertainly.
Ripple waved his sleeve, sweeping the spirit stone powder out of the slot, and then placed a hundred high-grade spirit stones in it. However, the teleportation array remained unresponsive.
"Is this teleportation circle a one-time use"
Du Yan also frowned and said, "If that's the case, they have no chance of following."
Perhaps the energy is insufficient.
Mo Shangchen took a look and said.
Liàn Yī received the superior spirit stones and changed them for the top-grade ones. Under everyone's expectant gaze, the teleportation array finally came to life. The array base was activated, the transmission runes lit up one by one, and the entire teleportation array restarted.
"Still usable, my friends. Why not go and investigate"
The ripples asked.
Mo Shangchen actually already had the idea of retreating in good time, but since he was alone and didn't have a guarantee of complete safety, he decided to follow the crowd instead and looked towards Du Yan and the others.
This time, the three of them really got together and discussed it thoroughly. In the end, they still gave up on going to the other side of the teleportation array to seek opportunities.
"Fellow travelers of the Mo Shang path, and fellow traveler Elien, it's not that we are cowardly, but after seeing this teleportation array, I feel very uneasy. So the three of us discussed it and decided to give up this opportunity."
Du Yan, on behalf of three people, spoke.
Have you made up your minds Your fellow disciples have already gone. Perhaps there are greater opportunities there.
The ripples narrowed her fox eyes and persuaded, "
"As Ellen's Daoist friend said, we understand. But as cultivators, I believe in my own perception of danger. Besides, this time out on a journey to hone our skills, our cultivation has improved. We have spirit stones, magic treasures, and heaven and earth treasures - everything we need for another advancement. If we are too greedy, perhaps we won't even be able to keep what we already have."
Du Yanzheng said.
They knew their limitations. The two people across from them were one the son of the city lord and the other a young lady from a prominent family out to hone her skills. Both were superior to them in terms of both life-saving techniques and cultivation. They feared that in pursuit of unknown opportunities, they would become pawns for others, so they ultimately decided to give up.
The life or death of Lian Xiye has nothing to do with them. After all, he left without giving them a heads-up, as if afraid they would steal his opportunity. If that's the case, they won't get involved at all. Whatever harvest the other party reaps in the future has nothing to do with them.
Since the three ripples confirmed that they truly didn't want to risk their lives anymore for opportunities, they looked towards Mo Shangchen.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Shangchen said:
"Then I won't go either, after all, you few are with me in a team. I will be responsible for bringing you out of the Purple Moon Mountains. As for you, Eileen Daoist"
"I want to go take a look, old friend, are you still considering it"
Ripple smiled and asked, "She thinks Mo Shangchen shouldn't give up this opportunity."
"No, there are some places I can go and some places I can't. Besides, this trip has already fulfilled my wishes, so I don't plan on taking any more risks."
Mò Shàng Chén calmly explained.
"Well then! Since you have all made your decision, I shall not dissuade you any further."
Thus, I wish Daoist Eileen all the best in her endeavors, and may she find great opportunities.
Mo Shangchen bowed his hands.
"Friend from the path, after I'm gone, please destroy this teleportation array."
Ripple spoke plainly.
"This..."
Mo Shangchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Even Ripple didn't want to waste time, she said hello to everyone and then, hugging the whirlwind who had turned back into a little black cat, stepped onto the teleportation array.
The transmission array seemed to sense the ripples and immediately burst into a dazzling light, enveloping the entire formation. Then, man and beast vanished from sight before the four of them.
When the top-grade spirit stones turned into powder again, cracks appeared on the formation base. The transmission array disintegrated on its own without Mo Shangchen having to do anything.
Mo Shangchen wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, feeling that if they all got onto the teleportation array, something would probably go wrong during the transmission.
"Eileen's friend should be fine, right"
Du Yan still couldn't hold back and asked.
"Rest assured, Eileen's Qi is very strong. She won't have any problems, and even if she faces setbacks, she won't be harmed."
Mo Shangchen said with certainty.
On the other side, ripples stepped on a transmission beam, passing by many scenes at his side. The beam suddenly flickered, and all the pictures disappeared.g smiled and, holding Huzi, welcomed Lian Yi into the house.With one hand, Ripples gently picked up the little tiger cub and asked with a smile:"Was Tiger good today""Huzi, be good!"Huzǐ hugged Liàn Y...
