As they stepped into the first affected village, they saw a chaotic scene. Houses were half-collapsed, and villagers had despair on their faces. Mo Wenjie closed his eyes and started to perform healing magic. A gentle light slowly spread out, and the damaged houses gradually restored. Others also started to take action. Some called forth water sources to address the drinking problem, while others used their spiritual powers to nurture crops.
However, at that moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a powerful evil aura descended. It was the demon cultivator hidden in the shadows who was jealous of their heroic deeds and had come to disrupt them. The demon cultivator summoned a group of demons to charge at the group. Mo Wenjie showed no fear and charged to the front. He swung his spiritual sword, slicing through any demons that approached with his sword qi. The others also formed a circle to protect the villagers and fend off the demon cultivator.
The battle raged on, and Mo Wenjie seized the moment, unleashing his full strength in a decisive strike, breaking through the demon cultivator's defenses and pushing him back. With the demon cultivator retreating, the village returned to calm. The group's resolve was strengthened even more as they pressed on, determined to bring hope to more places and to fulfill Lingxue's great dream.
After a brief rest, the group set off towards the next village. Along the way, Mo Wenjie noticed that there were unusual fluctuations in the spiritual energy around him. Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and a huge earth elemental demon beast burst forth from the ground. It emitted a strong smell of earth and stone, and its giant eyes glowed with a fierce light.
Mo Wenjie rushed forward towards the earth elemental demon beast first, trying to draw its attention. The others quickly scattered and looked for the beast's weaknesses. Mo Wenjie executed a sharp sword technique, but he could only leave shallow marks on the beast. At this moment, a teammate who was skilled in array magic shouted, "I have laid down a confining array. You attack its eyes." The group understood. Soon, the confining array was complete, and the earth elemental demon beast was trapped inside. Mo Wenjie and a few others concentrated their power at one point and struck at the beast's eyes. The beast roared in pain and struggled to get free. The group kept exerting force, and finally, they completely destroyed it.
After the battle, though tired, their eyes were filled with greater determination. Mo Wenjie and Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuobayingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, the Golden Silkworm Fairy, and Liu Chuandong knew that there were countless challenges ahead. But as long as they carried Lingxue's dream in their hearts, they were sure to bring vitality and hope to all the disaster-stricken places. So their steps became more resolute as they walked towards the next destination.
When they arrived at the next village, they found a layer of eerie mist spreading around. After entering the village, they saw that the villagers moved stiffly like zombies. Mo Wenjie sensed that there must be something strange behind this, so he was about to investigate when many puppet-like figures suddenly attacked them from all sides. The others quickly counterattacked, and Mo Wenjie chopped through the figures with his sword. However, he discovered that the severed limbs of the figures regenerated instantly.
At this moment, Huang Ling'er discovered that the control strings for the puppets were hidden in the mist. She channeled her energy to blow away a corner of the thick fog and saw a black-robed demon cultivator. The demon cultivator sneered coldly and increased his control over the puppets. Ding Qingyao threw out a treasure, entangling some of the puppets. Mo Wenjie took advantage of this opportunity to rush towards the demon cultivator. Upon seeing this, the demon cultivator summoned a shield to block him.
Jiang Yu Rou held her breath and focused her mind, subtly channeling the spiritual energy within her body to perform a unique secret technique. Her figure moved as silently as a specter, approaching the side of the demon cultivator without making a sound. This technique was extremely subtle, capable of concealing her own aura and movements. Even someone with deep cultivation would find it difficult to detect if not closely investigated.
As Jiang Yu Rou got close enough to the demon cultivator, she seized the opportunity to launch an attack. She chanted a spell in her hand, and a fierce light shot out suddenly, directly hitting the protective shield surrounding the demon cultivator. There was a "bang" sound, and the shield shattered instantly, turning into tiny lingering lights that dispersed in mid-air.
At this moment, Mo Wenjie had already prepared his strike. He held his longsword, soaring up like a dragon, the tip of the sword flickering with a cold light. With a thunderous force, he drove it toward the demon cultivator. The demon cultivator, caught off guard, was struck in a vital area by this blow. He let out a wretched scream and blood splattered from his body. However, this demon cultivator possessed some skills. Despite being grievously wounded, he endured the agony and turned to flee hurriedly.
Seeing this, the group heaved a sigh of relief. They quickly moved to act, casting spells to break the restrictions placed on the villagers by the demon cultivator. Once freed, the villagers expressed their gratitude with tears in their eyes. They knelt on the ground, bowing and kowtowing repeatedly, uttering words of thanks continuously.
After a fierce battle, everyone felt exhausted. So, they decided to take a break first. In a secluded valley, they gathered together, healing their wounds and recovering their strength while discussing the experiences of the battle just fought.
After a brief rest, the group rejuvenated their spirits and continued on their journey. As they traveled, they encountered and vanquished demons at every turn, saving ordinary people from suffering and disaster. Gradually, their heroic deeds spread throughout the world. Hearing of their noble deeds, many righteous-minded individuals from all walks of life who desired to do good were drawn to them. They came to express their willingness to join this team, united in fighting against the forces of evil.
Thus, the originally small group gradually grew in size. With a shared belief and mission, they tightly united and formed a powerful force.
Mo Wenjie, together with Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Bayingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, Ling Xue and Li Chuan Dong formed a heroic and fearless team. They rode on horseback without a moment's rest, eager to reach the places where great disasters were happening as quickly as possible.
Each step carried with it a steadfast belief, and every breath was filled with the unwavering pursuit of justice. They well understood that the path ahead might be fraught with innumerable hardships and perils, but the determination in their hearts to dispel darkness and save mankind remained unshaken, not by an inch or a hair.
The sunlight fell upon them, casting a golden glow over their determined faces, as if dressing them in a suit of armor with a sheen of gold. The roaring winds swept by, tousling their hair, yet they could not disperse their unyielding courage to press forward.
So, this team raced forward towards more disaster-stricken areas like a lightning bolt slicing through the night. Mo Wenjie, Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Bayingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling and Li Chuan Dong decided to use their own power to dispel the darkness enveloping the nine heavens and give it back a clear and bright sky!
The outline of the night flashed by rapidly, with the wind howling. Mo Wenjie clenched his sword tightly in both hands, his eyes locked on the path ahead, not slowing down despite the rugged terrain. Ding Qingyao was also focused on the road ahead, constantly checking the route and occasionally lifting her head with concerns about those affected by disasters filling her mind.
Along the way, they barely spoke, with only brief communications. "Turn right at the intersection ahead." Ding Qingyao said. "Acknowledged." Mo Wenjie replied briefly. The chemistry between them was displayed at its best in that moment.
As they drew closer to the disaster-stricken area, the sights before them became more heart-wrenching. Collapsed houses and broken bricks and tiles all spoke of the mercilessness of disaster. Mo Wenjie's brow furrowed even tighter, and he pressed down harder on the gas pedal with his foot.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at the heart-wrenching destination. As soon as Mo Wenjie and Ding Qingyao arrived, they threw themselves into the intense rescue work without hesitation.
Their steps were agile and their actions swift, as if they had boundless strength. Without the slightest hesitation or delay, the two of them dashed straight towards the disaster-stricken people who were in deep trouble.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with an unshakable belief - they had to act every second. Every second could determine the survival or demise of a precious life. This belief was like a burning torch, illuminating their path forward and providing them with boundless courage and drive.
Whether it was facing crumbling ruins of houses, or raging torrents of water, Mo Wenjie and Ding Qingyao showed no signs of hesitation. They clenched their teeth and pushed forward with all their might, just to rescue even one person trapped, extending the lives of many more.
As they were busy with the rescue, a blood-red light suddenly flickered in the sky, followed by a powerful pressure that swept over them. Looking up, they saw a massive blood cloud rapidly forming in the sky. The cloud seemed to be harboring demonic figures that were partially obscured by the clouds.
Mo Wenjie realized that this was not an ordinary disaster, but perhaps the reappearance of ancient evil creatures. He shouted loudly, "Be careful everyone, this evil energy is no trivial matter." The group prepared for battle.
Suddenly, several black tendrils extended from the blood cloud, reaching towards the crowd. Mo Wenjie swung his magical sword, cutting off the tendrils. However, the broken ends of the tendrils quickly regenerated. Huang Ling'er cast a spell to temporarily block the attack of the tendrils.
At this moment, Ding Qingyao came up with an idea. She joined forces with several partners who were skilled in sealing techniques to set up a super-strong seal. Everyone united their efforts, channeling their own spiritual energy into the sealing formation.
Mo Wenjie was responsible for diverting the demon's attention from the blood cloud, deliberately provoking it to shift its focus onto him. Just as the seal was about to be completed, the demon sensed the danger and struggled with all its might to break free from the blood cloud and rush towards the group. In the critical moment, the seal activated successfully, and the demon roared as it was pulled into the seal. The crisis averted, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and continued to devote themselves to the rescue effort.
The group continued to aid the injured villagers in the village, distributing food and medicine. Mo Wenjie sensed an unusual presence lingering around. He followed the trace of it, finding dim light seeping out from a cave at the back of the village. Entering the cave, strange symbols were carved into the walls. Mo Wenjie reached out and touched one, causing it to suddenly illuminate and emit a suction force that drew him into a mysterious space. Inside, smoke was swirling around, with a stone pedestal in the middle where an ancient book emitting an ethereal glow was placed.
Mo Wenjie stepped closer to the stone pedestal and just as he reached to pick up the ancient book, a sinister voice echoed within the space: "Put it down, it is not a thing for you to possess." A phantom-like figure shaped like a ghost appeared.
Mo Wenjie tightened his grip on the ancient book and said, "If it is an evil artifact, I will destroy it." The phantom launched an attack out of anger. Mo Wenjie skillfully dodged the attack and retaliated. His companions noticed he was missing and tracked him down. They arrived just in time to see Mo Wenjie engaged in fierce combat with the phantom.
The group immediately joined the fight and eventually combined their efforts to disperse the phantom. Mo Wenjie opened the ancient book and saw it contained some long-lost orthodox martial arts. Overjoyed, he thought this would be greatly helpful in fighting evil in the future. Afterward, Mo Wenjie and the others left the cave with the ancient book, continuing on to the next disaster relief location.
