Chapter 712 - 707, Magic Opens the Way!

"Let me think."

Chen Xie slowly fell into contemplation.

This time, should he follow the master’s arrangement to join the Immortal Sect, or continue to serve the Hundred Sects Alliance?

Joining the Immortal Sect, as long as the Sound Transmission Stone is used effectively, can definitely open up a new era.

Then, information would reach thousands of miles away in an instant, planning strategies and winning battles from a distance would be a piece of cake.

But joining the Immortal Sect, how can he extricate himself from the Hundred Sects Alliance?

Even if he can luckily leave, how can he follow the Immortal Sect safely?

In the Demon Realm, orders against the Immortal Sect have already been issued, and Qin Mo has been trapped in the Mist Area where demons run rampant, the crisis for the Immortal Sect has already arrived!

"Senior brother, you’d better decide early. After the centennial event, the Sect Leader will leave, and by then, if you want to find him, you’ll have to go to the distant East Lake. By the time you reach East Lake, the Sect Leader would have already handed off this task to someone else." H Lan whispered while pouring a cup of tea nearby, quietly watching Chen Xie who was deep in thought.

Zi Ran remained silent.

She respected Chen Xie’s thoughts.

After a long time, Chen Xie shook his head, showing a trace of helplessness in the corner of his eyes, "Master, please allow me more time to think over; such a major decision isn’t easy to make at once..."

Zi Ran raised her hand, "No worries, come find me once you’ve decided. During the centennial event, neither the Sect Leader nor I will be leaving."

"Alright." Chen Xie nodded, "By the way, there’s some news I’ve been pondering over, and I think it’s better to mention it to you, master."

Zi Ran asked, "What is it?"

Chen Xie revealed without concealment, "Your sect disciple Qin Mo has been forced by Xia Family into the Mist Area where demons run rampant in the Demon Realm. By relying on his power alone, the prospects are grim."

"Xia Family!" Zi Ran’s brows furrowed, anger flaring within.

Sure enough, the worrying matter has happened.

Though there are many people at the Freelancer Inn, it can’t be guaranteed to meet disciples of the Immortal Sect.

"Master, I’m really sorry. Though I’m overseeing the Demon Slaying Competition, I can’t break the rules to help." Chen Xie didn’t want to say comforting words—he’s most familiar with the situation in the Mist Area. The visible range is at most one meter, perception is restricted, and where the demons are can’t be seen; how to avoid their attacks?

Zi Ran said, "It’s not your fault... Right now, is Qin Mo dead or alive?"

Chen Xie said, "Not known yet, I will immediately send people to secretly investigate once I return."

Zi Ran said, "Thank you for your effort. Stay for a meal today, you and your fellow disciples haven’t gathered for quite some time. During dinner, I’ll introduce you to the Immortal Sect Sect Leader."

Chen Xie said, "Master, let’s skip the meal. Until I make a decision, meeting the Sect Leader would be unwise."

Chen Xie wanted to leave himself a way out, but meeting with the master has different implications.

If he meets Wen Ping and news of this matter spreads in the inn, reaching higher ears, suspicion would surely arise.

Once suspicion arises, losing his current position would be a matter of time.

Saying this, Chen Xie got up to take his leave.

Zi Ran didn’t stop him, if Chen Xie figures things out, there’d be plenty of days to meet in the future, she doesn’t mind this moment.

After sending Chen Xie away at the door, Zi Ran and the others were about to return when Wen Ping appeared behind them at some point.

"Still reluctant to let go of the intelligence network in hand."

"Sect Leader."

"Sect Leader."

The two bowed.

Wen Ping continued, "H Lan, what’s your confidence level in getting him to join the Immortal Sect?"

H Lan said, "Using some measures, seventy percent! But if he finds out, he might resist the Immortal Sect."

"Then let it be natural; it’d be best if we can recruit him, otherwise I’ll cultivate him."

Recruit him, and he can be of use.

Cultivating takes time but ensures one hundred percent loyalty.

Both options have pros and cons.

H Lan responded, "Understood."

After H Lan’s response, Zi Ran asked, "Sect Leader, what about Qin Mo’s matter?"

"How can you see a rainbow without experiencing the storm?" Wen Ping answered with a question as he walked into the inn.

Zi Ran couldn’t help but sigh; though that’s how it is said, every strong person has walked the path between life and death.

But Qin Mo has exceptional talent, within a year and a half he could surely make a name in Heaven and Earth Lake, with a spot among the top ten new talents guaranteed.

If he really dies in the Demon Realm, under the Hundred Sects Alliance’s scheming, it would truly be a pity.

...

Xia Family.

At this moment, Xiahou was drinking merrily with several leaders from Four-star Giant Influence, while discussing future areas of cooperation.

Suddenly, someone came in and interrupted the conversation regardless.

After handing the note to Xiahou, not only did Xiahou not blame him for the intrusion, but he also offered him a cup of wine.

Once the note was unfolded, the heads of other Four-star Influences couldn’t help but look over, wanting to see what was written.

Seeing this, Xiahou directly placed the note on the table, saying, "Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that my incompetent son killed an Immortal Sect’s Qin Mo."

"Xia Ye, that kid is pretty good."

"Xiu Yue Sect, Jiyang Sect their gifted seeds lost to those from the Immortal Sect, but Xia Jin’s kid dealt with one easily, that’s not bad."

Several people praised incessantly.

Xiahou laughed, "All of you are too kind; let’s continue drinking and toast to this joyful event!"

After a drink, the depression and frustration from the team competition within Xiahou’s heart was halved.

"That Immortal Sect has only a few people, it’s only a matter of time before they’re completely destroyed."

Saying this, Xiahou downed another glass in one gulp.

After downing this glass, he felt very comfortable.

...

In the Mist Area.

Qin Mo has been forced within for a period of time, but he’s not afraid.

He only blames himself for not being strong enough.

If he were strong enough, those little brats like Xia Ye, he could deal with them with just a Fireball Skill.

No need for Fire Dragon Skill!

"It’s been so long, I need to find a way out." Qin Mo crawled on the ground, cautiously moving forward, fearing to disturb the demons in the Mist Area.

Perception can’t detect far at all.

The sight is just a blur of white within his range.

Qin Mo pondered what method to use for escape?

He can’t hide for long like this, crawling.

Eventually, some demon would discover him.

At this moment, a demon’s mournful cry sounded and drew nearer.

Qin Mo realized, he had been discovered!

As the words fell, he rose, took out the magic wand and shouted at the source of the sound, "Apparition!"

Apparition Skill in action!

A mass of invisible power rushed towards the direction the demon came from, dispersing the mist and clearly revealing the demon several meters away.

"This magic I managed to obtain may not have attack abilities, but it’s perfect for exposing hidden enemies, so hiding in the mist and attacking me is pointless!"

Qin Mo’s lips immediately curled into a triumph smile.

Three seconds later!

"Ah! Damn it!!! Damn, damn, damn!!"

"Half-Step Divine Profound Great Demon!!!"

"Damn!"

"Apparition Skill! Apparition Skill! Clear the path! Clear the path!"
