After slightly waving to the cheering crowd, Mo Wenjie turned and walked towards his own residence. As soon as he stepped into his home, he couldn't wait to enter the secret room for closed-door cultivation. With his strength increasing, he felt a mysterious force watching over this city from the shadows.
After several days, when Mo Wenjie emerged from the seclusion, an unsettling atmosphere had already permeated the city. People kept going missing and there were no signs of a fight at the scenes. Determined to look into it further, Mo Wenjie decided to investigate deeper.
He arrived at the home of the first missing person and discovered a faint trace of demonic power left behind. Following this trace, he ended up at a secret realm on the outskirts of the city. As soon as he approached, he sensed a strong aura of malevolence.
Mo Wenjie charged into the secret realm and saw a massive demon beast sucking on the souls of humans. The demon beast, upon discovering Mo Wenjie, let out a fierce roar and attacked him.
Mo Wenjie took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm, his eyes fixed on the grotesque demon beast before him, exuding a powerful aura. He swiftly formed seals with his hands, and the spiritual force within him surged like a torrent.
In that very instant, Mo Wenjie's body was enveloped by an extremely dazzling and blinding light, as if a scorching sun was shining overhead, making it impossible to look directly at. Simultaneously, a series of fierce and unyielding sword spirits shot out from his hands like lightning, with a piercing howl and astonishing momentum, rushing straight towards the ferocious demon beast.
Confronted with this formidable attack, the demon beast was naturally unfazed. It roared, opening its gaping maw large enough to swallow an elephant, revealing sharp fangs, and lunged ferociously towards Mo Wenjie, as if it wanted to bite and tear him apart.
Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuobay Yinying, Qin Xiaodie, and Cao Chunling were all now fixated on the figure in front of them—the Golden Silk Fairy. This was the King City of the seventh heaven! Known for its grandeur and solemnity, how could such lawless demon beasts and evil cultivators be lurking about? It was truly hard to believe.
One must understand that the King City, as one of the important cities in the seventh heaven, has always been an orderly and law-abiding place. Strong guards are stationed throughout the city, and there are four kings who maintain order and justice. In normal circumstances, a being as brazen as this should have been detected and dealt with long ago.
However, the current situation raised doubts in the hearts of all the women: Does this mean that even the four powerful and famous kings, who have a reputation for maintaining order and justice, are completely unaware of this? Or is there something else going on? In an instant, various speculations flooded their minds, making their expressions grow even more serious.
Mo Wenjie was engaged in a fierce battle with the demon beast, his sword spirits were sharp, but the beast's tough hide and thick flesh made it difficult to determine a winner. At this moment, the Golden Silk Fairy spoke, "Sisters, this matter is suspicious. Let us go investigate." The women nodded and rushed towards the location of Mo Wenjie's battle.
Mo Wenjie felt someone approaching and was distracted, allowing the demon beast to slash him with its claws. The beast took advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce attack. In the critical moment, the women arrived. Ding Qingyao threw out a treasure, a beam of light enveloped Mo Wenjie to shield him from the demon beast's attack. Huang Ling'er chanted incantations, and numerous vines emerged from the ground to entangle the demon beast's limbs.
Mo Wenjie caught his breath and said, "This beast seems to be under control; there must be a mastermind behind it." The others agreed. They then pressed on to suppress the demon beast while searching for clues. Deep within the beast's den, they found a black jade tablet covered in evil incantations. Mo Wenjie deduced that this jade tablet was the key item left by the person controlling the beast to commit evil. By following the aura on the jade tablet, they could uncover the mastermind and reveal the truth behind the chaos in King City.
After a heated discussion and deep contemplation, the group finally reached a consensus: brave and wise Mo Wenjie would be responsible for holding the mysterious jade tablet to investigate the truth and uncover the matter. The jade tablet seemed to hold countless secrets and clues, making everyone excited yet nervous about its existence.
At the same time, the rest of the women took on the heavy responsibility of staying behind to handle matters after the incident. They needed to tidy up the scene, comfort those who had been scared, and ensure the safety and stability of their surroundings. Although these women were not directly involved in the investigation, their tasks were equally crucial.
Moreover, due to the severity of the event and the potential threat that had not yet been fully eliminated, Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuobay Yinying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, and the Golden Silk Fairy had to maintain a high level of vigilance at all times to prevent any unexpected dangerous situations from occurring again. Every slight movement could be a sign of an impending new crisis, so they dared not be complacent or negligent.
Mo Wenjie followed the aura of the jade tablet, proceeding with caution. The final destination of this aura led to an abandoned ancient hall. The hall was eerie and terrifying, surrounded by thick poisonous gas. Mo Wenjie held his breath and stepped into the hall cautiously. The interior was dark and deep, with only a faint light emanating from the end.
As he approached the source of light, a sudden gust of cold wind swept through, and numerous puppets appeared to block his path. Mo Wenjie waved his spiritual power, dispersing wave after wave of puppets. Just as he was on the verge of collapsing, he remembered the citizens in the city and the women waiting for him, and a surge of strength arose in his heart.
He concentrated his efforts to break through the puppet formation and reached the source of light. It turned out to be a crystal ball emitting an aura of evil, and it was from here that the aura of the jade tablet was emanating. Just as Mo Wenjie picked up the crystal ball to study it, a cold laugh echoed from behind. A figure in a black robe appeared, revealing himself as the mastermind behind the scenes, who had attempted to use the demon beasts to disturb King City and thereby rule over the seventh heaven.
Mo Wenjie tightly grasped the crystal ball and engaged in a fierce battle with the black-clad figure. In a critical moment, he used his own spiritual power to stimulate the righteousness within the crystal ball, countering the black-clad figure. The black-clad figure was unable to withstand this and fled in defeat.
Mo Wenjie carefully carried the mysterious and radiant crystal ball in his embrace, taking deliberate steps towards the city with determination. Along the way, he felt a mix of joy and relief from completing his mission, along with a subtle anticipation for future unknown challenges.
As he finally stepped through the city gates, the crowd that had been eagerly waiting erupted into a burst of warm cheers and applause. People surged forward, their eyes brimming with joy. Some were so moved that tears filled their eyes, while others excitedly shouted Mo Wenjie's name at the top of their lungs.
"Mo Wenjie, you're finally back! We've all been worried sick!"
"Yes, seeing you safe and sound is such a relief!"
In the face of the enthusiastic welcome from the crowd, Mo Wenjie smiled warmly. He nodded to each person individually, acknowledging their gratitude.
With Mo Wenjie's return, the entire King City seemed to have regained its vitality and spirit. The streets were once again filled with laughter and chatter, vendors were shouting out their wares, and children were happily running and playing... everything looked so harmonious and beautiful, as if the previous darkness had never existed.
After this episode, King City gradually returned to its usual peace and prosperity. People continued to live their quiet and happy lives, and Mo Wenjie's heroic deeds became a legendary story passed down through the mouths of the city.
Several months later, Mo Wenjie was practicing in the courtyard when a strange flash of light crossed the sky. He felt a moment of unease and had a premonition of something ominous. Soon, some strange phenomena began to appear in the city; many people fell into a mysterious sleep and strange symbols appeared on their bodies. Mo Wenjie realized something was amiss and once again began an investigation.
As he searched around, Mo Wenjie stumbled upon a connection between the symptoms of the people who had fallen into a mysterious slumber and the faint symbols on the evil incantation tablets from the jade plate. He suspected that perhaps the black-clad figure and his remaining followers were still at work.
This time, he joined forces with the other women to investigate. Following clues, they arrived at a secluded valley. The valley was shrouded in mist, exuding a chill. As soon as Mo Wenjie and his companions entered the valley, they were attacked by a group of spiritual crows. Mo Wenjie used his spiritual power to shield the others and counter-attack the spiritual crows at the same time.
After defeating the spiritual crows, they discovered an ancient formation deep within the valley. After some study, Mo Wenjie successfully broke the formation. Inside was a black-robed doll, impaled with sharp needles, and these needles were connected to the soul threads of the people who had fallen into a mysterious slumber.
Mo Wenjie's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he reached out his right hand and firmly grasped the needle, which was emitting a cold glint. He then forcefully pulled it out of the doll's body with a loud scream! As the needle was pulled out, the doll let out an eerie scream, and its body began to rapidly crumble and dissolve.
At the very moment the doll crumbled into pieces, a miracle occurred——the townspeople who had been deep in sleep suddenly opened their eyes and sat up as if they had just woken from a long and terrifying nightmare. They looked around in confusion, as if they had just experienced an extended and frightful dream.
After this thrilling episode, Mo Wenjie realized the cunning and cruel nature of his enemies, and his vigilance grew even stronger. He silently vowed that no matter what difficulties or obstacles he would face in the future, he would exert all his efforts to protect King City, ensuring it remains peaceful and serene forever. For this is not just where he lives; it is also the home where countless people live in harmony and prosperity.
Mo Wenjie thought that the crisis had been resolved, and the city temporarily returned to peace. However, not long after, the water well in the town suddenly went dry, and the crops began to wither. Mo Wenjie realized that this might be another plot by his enemies. Leading the other women, he searched for a source of water throughout the town. Eventually, they discovered a large seal formation in a remote location.
Mo Wenjie attempted to break the seal formation, but was injured by its counter-attack. The other women rushed over to his side, full of worry. At this moment, Mo Wenjie suddenly recalled a special method of releasing seals described in ancient texts, which required the collective spiritual power of multiple people coupled with a specific treasure.
They searched far and wide for the treasure, finally managing to gather it. The group worked together according to the method to break the seal, only to discover that within it was trapped a Water Qilin. It turned out that the remnants of the black-clad figure's followers had intended to release the Water Qilin to flood King City.
The Water Qilin had been trapped for many years and was extremely angry. Mo Wenjie rushed to explain the situation and promised to help it find a better place to live. The Water Qilin felt Mo Wenjie's sincerity and agreed to hold off on attacking for the time being. Mo Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the path ahead would be full of challenges, but as long as everyone worked together, they could ensure the safety of King City.
