Mu She is dead, and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is annihilated!
The Wolf Head Mercenary Group, which once stood as one of Qing Shi Town's three major mercenary groups, will from now on become a complete part of history.
Although the rise and fall of mercenary groups was a common occurrence throughout Qing Shi Town's countless years, it was the first time in history that a single youth annihilated a powerful mercenary group with a hundred elite mercenaries.
At the same time, this news spread rapidly to every corner of the town, and everyone was astonished by such shocking news.
Meanwhile, Mo Yu was not in the mood to pay attention to these matters. After dealing with Mu She, he took out the mother token of the Flying Letter Token from his storage ring and followed its guidance to find the child token, which indicated Xiao Yi Xian's location.
The Flying Letter Token could not only warn of danger but also sense each other's presence within a certain distance.
Taking out the mother token, Mo Yu saw a curved map line suddenly appear on it and smiled slightly. If his guess was correct, the end of this curve would be Xiao Yi Xian's location, which was still within the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's headquarters.
Following the map on the mother token, Mo Yu slowly walked along a quiet path. A moment later, a rather gloomy small prison appeared within his sight.
At the entrance of the prison, the defense was quite strict, with more than ten fully armed guards stationed there.
"It seems these guys don't know what happened in the front yard," Mo Yu thought to himself, looking at the mercenaries still diligently performing their duties.
To find Xiao Yi Xian quickly, Mo Yu directly summoned Profound Thunder. With a flash of lightning, the crimson lightning, like a dazzling electric snake in mid-air, instantly electrocuted the dozen or so mercenaries into unconsciousness.
With the Vermillion Bird Sky-Burning Lightning reaching its nascent stage, Mo Yu didn't need to expend his own Qi to deal with these Dou Zhe level opponents.
Approaching the prison, there were no mercenary guards here. Looking at the dense rows of cells, Mo Yu frowned. The mother token indicated that this was the end of the path.
Just as Mo Yu was about to search cell by cell, a young girl dressed as a maid suddenly walked over. Seeing this, Mo Yu immediately captured her without a word.
Looking at the girl's terrified expression, Mo Yu directly asked, "Where is Xiao Yi Xian?"
Following the girl's trembling finger, Mo Yu instantly flashed to that cell. With a wave of his hand, the lightning, accompanied by a clatter, snapped the cell's chains.
Opening the cell, the imagined stench did not appear; instead, there was a faint medicinal fragrance.
Smelling this scent, Mo Yu was convinced that the maid had not lied. His gaze swept around, and he saw a girl in a white dress lying in the corner of the cell. Who else could it be but Xiao Yi Xian?
As if noticing someone's arrival, Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her eyes. The chill in her beautiful eyes receded the moment she saw the youth, and her pale, pretty face immediately showed surprise, worry, and various other expressions.
"Why are you here?" With the joy in her eyes flashing, Xiao Yi Xian said with some concern, seeing Mo Yu who had ventured to come.
She already understood her predicament and knew that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had a Great Dou Master guarding it. Although Mo Yu's daring rescue deeply moved Xiao Yi Xian, she couldn't help but worry.
Helping Xiao Yi Xian up, the girl's aura was very weak at this time, and her face was extremely pale, clearly having suffered much in the past few days.
"It's okay, I'm a physician. I can heal these injuries quickly, and they didn't do anything to me to get your information.
By the way, a Great Dou Master from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is hunting you. You should leave quickly," Xiao Yi Xian first smiled, then, remembering something, quickly said to Mo Yu.
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's expression, Mo Yu seemed to have guessed something. He stroked the girl's slightly disheveled hair, his face showing a hint of guilt as he said, "You didn't use the child token to tell me you were in danger because of that Great Dou Master, right?"
Before Xiao Yi Xian could answer, Mo Yu continued, "I'm sorry, I implicated you, but that Great Dou Master is already dead. You don't have to worry anymore. I came here to take you home."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's pale face immediately showed a hint of surprise, disbelievingly saying, "You killed the Great Dou Master? This…?"
"Hehe, you're allowed to have a combat pet, but I'm not? My Demonic Beast is a third-order magical beast. With it attacking, a Great Dou Master expert is nothing," Mo Yu chuckled, not revealing the matter of the Divine Soul contract.
Hearing that Mo Yu also had a combat pet, and a third-order one at that, Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes widened even more in surprise. Having a first-order Demonic Beast, Blue Hawk, she knew how great the barrier between Demonic Beasts and humans was.
She had only coincidentally saved an injured Blue Hawk to gain its friendship, and Blue Hawk was just a first-order Demonic Beast, with intelligence not much different from ordinary wild beasts.
And Mo Yu actually had a third-order combat pet. Third-order Demonic Beasts already possessed some intelligence and were more hostile towards humans, so obtaining a third-order combat pet was truly unheard of.
However, Xiao Yi Xian thought of the youth's various methods, and such a thing was no longer surprising.
"Cough cough…" As Xiao Yi Xian marveled at Mo Yu's formidable methods, she suddenly coughed, her face also extremely pale.
"Are you okay?" Mo Yu patted Xiao Yi Xian's back, asking with concern.
"I'm fine. Since you've dealt with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, let's go back. I have a place that's very suitable for me to heal," Xiao Yi Xian said with a pale smile.
Mo Yu nodded and carried Xiao Yi Xian out. When she saw the dense, lifeless, cold corpses in the courtyard, Xiao Yi Xian covered her red lips in shock, her pretty face filled with astonishment.
It was then that she realized Mo Yu had actually annihilated the entire Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
"The suffering you endured these past few days, I've avenged you," Mo Yu said lightly, seeing Xiao Yi Xian's surprised expression.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat speechless. To slaughter an entire mercenary group for her alone was too brutal, but deep down, there was a hint of gratitude.
Taking out a short flute from her embrace, Xiao Yi Xian blew a somewhat peculiar sound wave, then said to Mo Yu, "The place we're going is a small valley. Blue Hawk is familiar with that place."
Blue Hawk was the first-order Demonic Beast, Blue Hawk, Xiao Yi Xian's combat pet. Mo Yu nodded in agreement.
Before long, a Blue Hawk circled down, letting out an eagle cry, and landed in front of Mo Yu and Xiao Yi Xian.
With Xiao Yi Xian on his back, Mo Yu lightly leaped onto the eagle's back. Blue Hawk circled once in the sky, then rapidly flapped its wings and flew away. A moment later, it disappeared into the azure sky.
Looking at Qing Shi Town gradually disappearing from his sight, Mo Yu's eyes held a touch of nostalgia.
Qing Shi Town was the first starting point of his cultivation journey on the Fighting Qi Continent. Perhaps in the future, when he achieved success and fame, he would occasionally recall that small town nestled beneath the Magical Beast Mountain Range. There, he experienced his first pursuit since his Rebirth.
Led by Xiao Yi Xian, the two did not directly cross the Magical Beast Mountain Range but arrived at a place with extremely abundant energy.
Mo Yu was not unfamiliar with this place. This was the basin full of medicinal herbs that he had come to with the herb-gathering team. However, this time, guided by Xiao Yi Xian, he flew directly into the depths of the basin from high in the sky.
"How is it? Is this place good? This small valley is completely isolated from the outside, and there's thick fog covering the sky. It's extremely hidden. If Blue Eagle hadn't accidentally stumbled in here, I probably wouldn't have discovered this miraculous place," Xiao Yi Xian said with a slightly shy smile, carried on Mo Yu's back.
"Not bad."
Mo Yu's gaze swept across the valley filled with faint energy mist, finding that the abundant Heaven and Earth energy here would also be beneficial for Profound Thunder's growth. Perhaps he could stay for a while and Breakthrough to a three-star Dou Shi in one go.
Furthermore, various rare medicinal herbs and Artifact Refining Materials, rarely seen outside, were growing in the valley.
"Shall we stay here for a while? The medicinal herbs needed for my injuries and for preparing some prescriptions in the Seven-Colored Poison Manual are available here," Xiao Yi Xian looked down at Mo Yu, her tone suggesting a discussion.
"No problem."
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded. Although his goal was to go to the Mu Lan Empire, it was good to improve his strength even more before that.
Such an excellent Cultivation ground was not something one could encounter casually. Mo Yu planned in his heart that he would ideally be able to Breakthrough to a three-star Dou Shi here.
Although the valley was isolated from the world and could only be exited by Xiao Yi Xian's Blue Hawk, Mo Yu was not worried. With Purple Fire and Purple Cloud Wings, if any unforeseen circumstances arose, he could also fly out.
Seeing Mo Yu agree, Xiao Yi Xian also nodded with a smile, blew a bamboo whistle at Blue Hawk, letting it fly freely, then led Mo Yu to a corner of the small valley, pointing her slender finger at a straw hut there.
Xiao Yi Xian said with a hint of embarrassment, "This is what I built before; it's a bit simple. We'll live here for this period."
"It's alright, I've even lived in a cave in the Magical Beast Mountain Range." Mo Yu glanced at the straw hut and nodded, then thought of the cave and the unexpected romantic scene, his thoughts drifting away.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi Xian asked curiously, seeing Mo Yu's expression.
"Oh, nothing. I just thought, with a beauty by my side, what does it matter if we live in a straw hut? Isn't this a paradise?" Mo Yu carefully put Xiao Yi Xian down and chuckled.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face flushed slightly, and her heart pounded. After a few breaths, she playfully glared at Mo Yu, then waved her small fist and huffed, "Don't think you can mess with me just because my strength is weak."
"What if I do mess with you?" Mo Yu stroked his chin, smiling.
Xiao Yi Xian's willingness to suffer in prison rather than reveal her whereabouts touched Mo Yu, and he couldn't help but regard her as a good friend.
"Hmph." Xiao Yi Xian wrinkled her pretty nose, raised her delicate hand at Mo Yu, and said, "Then you try it. I'm going to gather herbs first. You can walk around freely." With that, she turned and walked towards some herbs in the distance.
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's departing back, Mo Yu couldn't help but shake his head. This future Heavenly Poison Girl was still extremely charming and cute at this time.
Unfortunately, as a Calamity Poison Body, no one could change Xiao Yi Xian's fate. The only thing Mo Yu could do to help her was to help her control her poison body.
Walking in the opposite direction from Xiao Yi Xian, Mo Yu continuously observed the surrounding terrain. As he went deeper, he couldn't help but frown.
The terrain here was somewhat peculiar. It was rare to find such a large-scale growth of precious herbs together in the outside world, and for some reason, the energy here was also extremely pure.
Every effect must have a cause, and every cause must have an effect.
A place with such pure energy could not have been created without reason; it must have its own secret, and this secret was simply not easy to discover for now.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu's heart couldn't help but itch.
In his previous life, he relied on this Karma theory, maintaining a curious spirit of exploration for everything, thus gaining many fortuitous encounters and much Gains.
Unfortunately, he only had the strength of a two-star Dou Shi at the moment, and many methods were unusable.
Being in a treasure trove yet not knowing how to explore it was truly frustrating, but thinking that Xiao Yi Xian in the original work also brought Xiao Yan here, and Yao Lao didn't find anything suspicious, his frustration slowly faded.
After calming his mind, Mo Yu focused on his Cultivation.
In the isolated small valley, Mo Yu and Xiao Yi Xian quietly lived their lives. One diligently Cultivated Qi, and the other diligently studied the poison scripture. Neither disturbed the other, and the peaceful days were quite leisurely and fulfilling.
For a long time, Mo Yu had been Cultivating by relying on the energy feedback from Profound Thunder. Now, absorbing Heaven and Earth energy made him a little unaccustomed at first.
The Breakthrough to a three-star Dou Shi was far more difficult than Mo Yu had imagined. After all, he had only recently broken through to a two-star Dou Shi, and even with the abundant Heaven and Earth energy in the valley, it was impossible to Breakthrough again in a short time.
He had Cultivated in the valley for nearly half a month, and although the Qi in his body became increasingly vigorous and condensed, the feeling of Breakthrough still hadn't arrived.
So Mo Yu gradually stopped his daily Qi Cultivation, which almost occupied all his time, and occasionally practiced Dou Techniques in the valley.
In this leisurely life, Mo Yu would even take Purple Fire out for a walk. After all, although the beast ring was almost identical to the outside world, it lacked the natural aura of Heaven and Earth.
So every few days, Mo Yu would release Purple Fire, allowing him to hunt some Demonic Beasts or consume some medicinal herbs on his own.
However, seeing the sun gradually setting, Mo Yu frowned. In the past, Purple Fire would return obediently at this time, but now he was nowhere to be found.
The Divine Soul imprint was still there, so Purple Fire couldn't betray him. Just as Mo Yu was about to go out and search, a lion's roar came from the depths of the valley not far away.
Hearing Purple Fire's roar, Mo Yu's expression as his master immediately became strange, because he understood its meaning.
"Purple Fire is telling me there's a secret in the valley?"
