Unsealing: Omnipotent Father - Chapter 474
Around the 3rd week, Mo Xie already knew nothing will happen and decided to go out.
Ha Qiqi and Wu Zeqing accompanied him out together with ten disciples to scout the surroundings.
Mo Xie went further to the center of the Myriad Earth Abyss continent, his goal is to at least get any information of value.
It took around a whole day as they reached a mountainous area.
“Elder Mo, we’ve reached the Forest of Devil Mountains.” Ha Qiqi spoke, seeing the sharp mountains,
Pausing for a bit, she added: “This is already the territory of the demon race, if we venture further in, I think the demon race wouldn’t like it.”
Mo Xie chuckled: “Who cares if they like it or not.”
As he spoke, he ventured further in, he then added: “If what I think is right, then, they must’ve suffered greatly from the disappearance incident. I think they have a few of their territories getting affected.”
“Hence, we’re doing them a free favor.”
Ha Qiqi smiled wryly before asking: “Shouldn’t we at least report our intention?”
Mo Xie sighed, still, he shook his head: “Well… I really don’t like troubles, so, yeah, why not.”
Hearing this, Ha Qiqi smiled, but then, Mo Xie spoke again: “Kara, let them know of my intention.”
“Yes.”
A voice sounded as a very strong gust of wind blew past them.
Hearing this, Ha Qiqi and the rest were shocked.
“That… Elder Mo, what was that?” Wu Zeqing asked, it’s her first time speaking, rather, her voice is actually quite elegant, and one can definitely feel her temper, a quite well-mannered lady.
Mo Xie then answered: “My servant.”
As he spoke, Zhuding immediately went further in.
An hour after that, they arrived in a rather desolate place, it’s surrounded by peaks of mountains, a flatland after so long. At the center of it, one can see a village, it can probably hold no more than a hundred families.
Mo Xie seeing this furrowed his brows: “How can they survive in a place like this?” He asked himself.
Scars of battle can be seen from everywhere, marks of wild beasts, claws, footprints, that made it quite obvious how frequent the battles are.
But what Mo Xie’s quite bewildered with is… he can’t feel any type of energy from the village.
As they neared, of course, there are dozens of people tending to the greeneries, they are mostly farmers, also, chunks of meats are placed in front of a house, which must be the butcher area.
Now, the question is, how did these people hunt those beasts?
Mo Xie descends and enters the village’s field of vision, and soon as they arrived close enough, one of the villagers immediately noticed them.
“Oh, a guest! We have a guest!” One of the female villagers spoke with a smile.
“Everyone, visitors!”
Hearing the female villagers, everyone felt energetic and immediately welcomed them with wide-open arms.
Mo Xie prepared for some awkward scenes, but he wasn’t prepared for this kind of one.
He looked around then asked: “This, where is your village head?”
One of the female villagers replied immediately: “Oh, he was out to hunt some beasts!”
After answering, they immediately stretched their hands wide openly: “Welcome to our village!”
“Although it may be small, we’re actually supplied with a lot of food!”
Mo Xie and the others immediately followed them in, but excluding Mo Xie, all of them had their guards up.
They were led to the town square and foods and drinks were served merrily.
As they were merrily throwing a party for their visitors, the disciples, elders, and Mo Xie didn’t do so.
Of course, they will only start eating when their leader does, since Mo Xie isn’t eating, none of them ate.
Now then, when Mo Xie noticed it, he smiled at them: “You guys can eat.”
Although they can live for weeks without eating, but it’s mostly something like a habit, eating is part of every human’s life.
Hearing Mo Xie, all of them immediately started to gobble up the food, the elders though, didn’t. They still have their guards up.
As the feast continued, Mo Xie saw a familiar person amongst the disciples, he didn’t really pay attention to the disciples, but then, realized that this big fella was someone he had met before.
Noticing Mo Xie’s gaze, the disciple immediately stood up: “Elder Mo!” He shouted, his eyes were glowing, clearly excited due to finally being noticed, he immediately followed up: “Thank you for the pills, it was miraculous enough to help me a breakthrough!”
“Being able to enter Elder Ha’s guidance is all thanks to you!”
It’s Ammonjiro, the one that he met outside the Alchemy Association’s pagoda.
Mo Xie nodded his head: “I guess the pill was quite effective to you as well.”
“Un!” Ammonjiro nodded, his eyes grew excited more than they should be, but Mo Xie didn’t really pay attention to it.
And just then, only after a tea’s time is up, almost all of the disciples immediately fell asleep and slammed on top of the table.
“W-what happened? Why are you all sleeping?” Ammonjiro couldn’t help but look shocked.
Ha Qiqi, Zeqing, and Zhou were also dumbfounded as they looked at Mo Xie.
But then, they looked at the villagers, all of them holding old swords, most of them are even rusting.
Mo Xie smiled: “Since the disciples had already fallen asleep, maybe we should be able to talk about your intentions?”
One of the villagers frowned: “It’s us that wants to know your intention! What brought you all the way here?”
“What kind of evil intention do you have for our village?”
Mo Xie couldn’t help but chuckle: “Well, you must’ve viewed living beings as dreadful creatures for so long, but shouldn’t you at least ask that before drawing your swords against us?”
The village lady immediately replied: “Hmmp! Our village head said that we shouldn’t trust strangers too much!”
Mo Xie smirked: “Well, even if you’ve put all of the disciples in sleep, are you sure that you can fight against me?”
Hearing this, the village lady took a step back in fright together with the rest.
But then, a person walked out from a house far north.
“Now now, let’s all talk it out.” He’s a rather old man, his beard reaching all the way to his stomach, and his messy hair covering his shoulders completely, he looked at Mo Xie and smiled amiably.
Mo Xie chuckled: “Well, you should’ve said that before putting my sect’s disciples to sleep.”
The old man smiled: “No worries, they will wake up in no more than five minutes, it’s just that, I think they shouldn’t be hearing what the old people talk about.”
His closed eyes opened slightly: “Now then, do tell me what brought you people here?”
Mo Xie smiled and replied: “We’re here to investigate some recent disappearance, without any lead, our foot brought us here.”
The old man smiled: “Must be destiny.”
Mo Xie merely smirked but didn’t reply.
The old man’s serene face then turned cold as he asked: “Where are you all from?”
