Mo Wenjie looked at Huang Ling'er and said, "Our engagement date will be determined soon. After we get engaged, I plan to go back to Yundu City and bring them here. After all, I have already engaged them. I cannot deceive them. One cannot change their mind easily. Although their backgrounds are not as good as yours, I will never abandon them!"
Huang Ling'er's eyes widened in surprise. She had never imagined that Mo Wenjie had four fiancées. However, she soon calmed down and a mischievous smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Mo Wenjie, you are quite a Casanova. But don't you fear that I might cancel our engagement in a fit of anger?"
Mo Wenjie scratched his head and said with a sincere expression, "Ling'er, I know that this is unfair to you. But I, Mo Wenjie, always follow through on my words. If you regret our engagement because of this, I will have no complaints. However, I hope we can still be friends."
Huang Ling'er hummed lightly, "Who wants to be friends with you. But I, Miss Huang, am not petty. As long as you treat me sincerely in the future and put me in your heart, I can accept them."
Mo Wenjie was overjoyed, "Miss Huang is so magnanimous; Mo Wenjie is deeply grateful. I, Mo Wenjie, solemnly swear that I will treat Miss Huang and the other four fiancées well."
At this moment, a stern voice came from afar, "Mo Wenjie, what kind of audacity do you have to try to marry so many women?" Suddenly, a black-clad figure appeared slowly, and a powerful aura began to envelop Mo Wenjie, indicating that a crisis was about to erupt.
Mo Wenjie looked at the black robe with anger boiling in his veins. He hadn't expected you to come and cause trouble after I let you escape last time. Don't you know that a tiger doesn't show its stripes until it's angry? Today, I won't let you get away again. Just brace yourself for death! After speaking, Mo Wenjie joined his hands in a gesture of power and began to chant incantations under his breath.
As Mo Wenjie chanted the incantation, a series of golden talismans appeared in the air and flew towards the black-clad figure with a howling sound. The black-clad figure was frightened out of his wits. He had never expected Mo Wenjie's strength to increase so rapidly. He could see black mist emanating from his body, trying to resist the golden talismans. However, the golden talismans were like thunderbolts, breaking through the black mist instantly.
The black-clad figure roared and his body suddenly swelled several times, transforming into a colossal shadow beast. It opened its bloodthirsty maw and spat out a black orb of light that shot towards Mo Wenjie. Mo Wenjie remained calm, changing the steps beneath his feet as if he were a ghostly apparition, disappearing from his original spot. The black orb struck a distant peak, causing an explosive eruption.
Mo Wenjie appeared behind the black-clad figure, a sword with a lustrous blue glow appearing in his hand at some unknown moment. He bellowed, "Today is your day of death!" With a sweep of the sword, a massive blade of blue energy sliced towards the black-clad figure. The black-clad figure failed to dodge in time and was struck by the blade of energy, emitting a pained scream before dissolving into a wisp of black smoke. Only a menacing threat lingered in the air: "Mo Wenjie, wait for it. This matter will not end here."
Huang Ling'er and Qin Xiao Di felt very sorry that such a good opportunity was wasted again. If he continued to harass them without end, when would this be over?
Mo Wenjie chuckled, "If he wants to run, can he really get away?"
Huang Ling'er heard Mo Wenjie say this and giggled, "Did you leave a mark on him?"
Mo Wenjie raised an eyebrow and said with a smug expression, "Of course. The black robe had repeatedly provoked me. How could I have no precautions? During our previous confrontation, I secretly planted a tracking mark on him. Now, he must be retreating to his nest. We can pursue him and destroy his nest in one swift move."
Huang Ling'er's eyes lit up, clapping her hands and praising, "That's clever! Now, I wonder where he can hide." Qin Xiao Di also showed an expectant expression.
So, the three of them followed the tracks at a fast pace. In no time, they arrived at a foreboding ancient castle in front of them. The castle was surrounded by a thick atmosphere of darkness, and there were also some little minions patrolling around.
Mo Wenjie whispered, "This is the old nest of the black robe. Be careful." The three of them carefully snuck into the castle, only to find the black robe healing. Without saying a word, Mo Wenjie charged forward with his sword, and the black robe was alarmed, just about to resist but it was too late. Mo Wenjie's sword pierced through the black robe's body. The black robe widened his eyes in disbelief that he had really fallen this time. As the black robe fell, the dark atmosphere in this place gradually dissipated.
Mo Wenjie, Huang Ling'er, and Qin Xiao Di all heaved a sigh of relief. They would never have to fear the black robe's harassment again in the future!
Huang Ling'er asked Mo Wenjie, "There hasn't been anything happen these days, are you going to return to Yundu City?" If Mo Wenjie wanted to return to Yundu City, would he like her and Qin Xiao Di to accompany him? What do you think?
Mo Wenjie was slightly startled and then smiled, "That would be good. It's been a long time since I've returned home, and I really miss the elders in my family." So, the three of them embarked on their journey to Yundu City.
Throughout the journey, the scenery was picturesque, but Mo Wenjie felt an undercurrent of unease. As they approached Yundu City, they saw dark clouds in the sky and faint sounds of combat echoing from within the city. Mo Wenjie's expression changed, and he flew into the city at an increased speed.
It turned out that a mysterious force had attacked Yundu City while Mo Wenjie was away. Although the people in the city were fighting fiercely, they were already showing signs of defeat. Seeing this, Mo Wenjie roared and joined the battle. Huang Ling'er and Qin Xiao Di looked at each other before also joining in the fight.
Mo Wenjie unleashed his most powerful spell, radiance bursting into the sky, instantly driving back some of the enemies. However, the mysterious force leader cackled and took out a artifact. This artifact emitted a powerful evil force. Just as everyone was in despair, Mo Wenjie remembered a formation from ancient texts and quickly instructed everyone to set up the formation. Under the leadership of Mo Wenjie, Huang Ling'er, and Qin Xiao Di, the monks in the city worked together to activate the formation. They finally withstood the attack from the artifact and counter-attacked successfully. The mysterious force was defeated and fled in defeat, returning peace to Yundu City again.
Master Zhang and Qian Xiaoyong watched Mo Wenjie with joy. They were overjoyed. This time, if it weren't for Mo Wenjie's timely arrival, they didn't know how many innocent civilians would have suffered. It was truly a great debt of gratitude to Mo Wenjie!
Master Zhang walked up and patted Mo Wenjie's shoulder. "Mo Wenjie, this time you saved Yundu City. We will definitely thank you properly." Mo Wenjie quickly waved his hand. "It's all what I should do. Yundu City is also my home." Qian Xiaoyong scratched his head and said, "Mo brother, but that mysterious force must return to attack in the future." Mo Wenjie's eyes became serious. "I also worry about this. We must find out who is behind it."
At this moment, an elderly man from the city slowly approached, holding a strange jade pendant. "Mr. Mo, this was picked up on the battlefield. There are strange runes on it, which may be related to that mysterious force." Mo Wenjie took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. Suddenly, he felt a familiar aura emanating from it.
Mo Wenjie frowned and said, "This aura is familiar to me somewhere; maybe following it will lead us to clues." Huang Ling'er moved closer, "Then let's set off to investigate right now." Mo Wenjie nodded and looked at Master Zhang and Qian Xiaoyong, "I entrust the defense of Yundu City to the two of you for the time being." With that, he took Huang Ling'er and Qin Xiao Di and pursued the direction where the jade pendant's aura was leading.
Master Zhang looked at Mo Wenjie's departing figure and couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions. He never expected Mo Wenjie's strength to grow so quickly. Just how long had he been up here, and yet he had already become something we can only aspire to be? This is simply incredible!
Mo Wenjie and his companions followed the jade pendant's aura along the way, arriving at a secluded valley. The misty air within the valley was faintly visible, exuding an eerie feel.
"Be careful everyone, there's something unsettling about here," Mo Wenjie became alert. Suddenly, a group of dark shadows emerged, emitting eerie laughter. "You thought you could easily track us? This is a trap," a hoarse voice echoed.
However, Mo Wenjie remained calm and collected, his hands forming a seal, and a beam of golden light shot out, dispelling some of the shadows. "Is that all you've got? These little tricks can't stop me," he said with a smile. Huang Ling'er and Qin Xiao Di also joined the battle by casting spells.
However, the shadows kept multiplying, gradually forming a massive whirlpool that enveloped the three. In a critical moment, Mo Wenjie noticed the jade pendant glimmering. Its light merged into the whirlpool, causing the shadows to dissipate instantly. In front of them appeared an ancient cave dwelling.
"It seems that this jade pendant is not only a lure to bring us here but also the key to opening this place," Mo Wenjie said. The three of them exchanged glances and cautiously entered the cave, hoping to find genuine clues about the mastermind behind the mysterious force. As they stepped into the cave, the interior was dimly lit, and strange runes flickered on the walls. Mo Wenjie led the way, with Huang Ling'er and Qin Xiao Di close behind.
As they walked, three forks appeared in front of them. "How do we choose?" Qin Xiao Di furrowed her brow. Mo Wenjie closed his eyes and sensed the situation. He walked towards the middle path.
They hadn't walked far when a melodious flute tune wafted through the air, causing everyone to feel dizzy. Mo Wenjie forced himself to steady his mind and shouted, "This is hypnotic music! Quickly use your internal energy to resist!"
The three sat down and practiced their martial arts. Moments later, they returned to normal and continued forward, where they saw a massive stone door before them, covered in ancient patterns.
Mo Wenjie took out the jade pendant and approached the stone door. The jade pendant emitted a strong light, causing the stone door to slowly open. Inside, there was a spacious hall, with a large platform in the center. On the platform, there was a scroll that emitted a faint light.
Mo Wenjie approached the stone platform, ready to pick up the scroll for a closer look, when suddenly, numerous puppet figures emerged from all around, wielding weapons and charging at them.
Mo Wenjie roared, his body surging with spiritual energy as he charged towards the group of puppets. Huang Ling'er and Qin Xiao Di, unwilling to be outdone, unleashed their own unique abilities.
After a fierce battle, the puppets were destroyed. Mo Wenjie finally picked up the scroll and opened it. On it, there was an inscription revealing the identity and plan of the mastermind behind the mysterious force.
Mo Wenjie read with growing alarm. The people behind the mysterious force were none other than those who he could not afford to offend, let alone ordinary people. It was no wonder they were so brazen, for indeed, their backing was formidable, people they could not afford to upset.
