We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 140: This Time, He Cannot Escape

Xiao Mo had the imperial kitchen prepare some buns.

He didnʼt refuse this Fairy Jiangʼs invitation and ate breakfast with her in the courtyard.

However, when this woman called Jiang Rou ate buns, she would lift a corner of her veil, then place the bun under the veil and eat in small bites.

Xiao Mo secretly glanced over several times, but each time this Fairy Jiang was on guard, so he couldnʼt see her appearance under the veil at all.

”You seem very eager to see my face?”

Jiang Qingyi raised her head, looked at Xiao Mo, and asked calmly.

”I am indeed somewhat curious about the young ladyʼs appearance.” Xiao Mo answered honestly.

”You may look.” Jiang Qingyi replied.

”Hm?” Xiao Mo was momentarily stunned, not expecting her to agree so readily.

”You may look, but you must compete with me in swordplay. If you win, Iʼll let you see.” Jiang Qingyi gazed into Xiao Moʼs eyes, appearing serious.
”Then what if I lose?” Xiao Mo asked in return.

”If you lose.” Jiang Qingyi looked Xiao Mo up and down, ”Weʼll discuss that when you lose.”

Xiao Mo was silent.

”Well? Will you compete or not?”

”Letʼs forget about it. I wonʼt make a fool of myself in front of the young lady.” Xiao Mo stood up, ”Fairy Jiang, please rest well. Iʼll take my leave first.”

What a joke, a Qi Refinement cultivator like himself competing in swordplay with her?

Moreover, she came from the worldʼs number one sword sect and was even an inner disciple.

Itʼs not like he didnʼt know his own capabilities.

Xiao Mo turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Watching Xiao Moʼs gradually departing figure, Jiang Qingyiʼs eyes blinked gently, but she didnʼt call out to stop him.

After Xiao Mo left, Jiang Qingyi finally withdrew her gaze and looked up at the azure sky.

”No rush.”

Jiang Qingyi shook her head and said softly, as if talking to herself.

”Taking it slowly is fine. This time, he cannot escape.”

After returning to the Dao Inquiry Platform, Xiao Mo practiced the Grass Character Sword Formula for an hour.

Once his body was very fatigued and the spiritual energy in his body was completely exhausted, Xiao Mo sat on the ground to regulate his breathing, preparing to enter the Book of a Hundred Lives again, not wasting even a bit of time.

Within the Book of a Hundred Lives, Xiao Mo had already rescued his senior brother Luo Yang from the dungeon.

But Luo Yangʼs position at Water Mirror City was revoked, and even his identity as Academy Vice Dean was gone, essentially being expelled from the Confucian Academy.

However, Luo Yang didnʼt seem to care much about this.

Luo Yang also knew that if it werenʼt for the Ten Thousand Laws Realm giving face to his junior brother, this Confucian Sage, with the charge of colluding with the demon race falling upon him, he would truly be in grave danger.

Even if their teacher pleaded for him, he wouldnʼt die in the end, but his cultivation would be crippled and he would become a useless waste.

After all, in the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, the most taboo thing was humans colluding with the demon race.

”What plans does Senior Brother Luo have next?”

Standing atop the city wall, Xiao Mo asked his senior brother.

Luo Yang shook his head, ”What plans could there be? Nothing more than continuing to kill demons. Even though Iʼm no longer a disciple of the Confucian Academy, Iʼm still a person of the Ten Thousand Laws Realm.”

Xiao Mo thought for a moment and said, ”How about senior brother stays by my side? I happen to need an assistant.”

Luo Yang looked at Xiao Mo, thought for a moment, then nodded, ”That would be good.”

”However, the places I go are quite dangerous, so senior brother, cough cough cough...”

Just as Xiao Mo was halfway through speaking, he began coughing violently.

Xiao Mo removed the hand covering his mouth.

In Xiao Moʼs palm was bright red blood.

”Junior brother, your body...” When he first saw his junior brother, Luo Yang hadnʼt noticed but now that his junior brother had coughed a few times, Luo Yang realized his aura was very chaotic.

”Itʼs nothing.” Xiao Mo shook his head, ”From the last great battle with that Ascension realm demon cultivator, I just have some lingering injuries.”

”Junior brother, your condition isnʼt just ʼnothing.ʼ I know several Immortal realm medical cultivators. Let me take you to see them.” Luo Yangʼs expression showed some urgency.

”Itʼs useless.”

Xiao Mo took a deep breath to steady his aura.

”Iʼve already had Granny Hua from the medical family examine me. My injuries canʼt be healed. Even if I donʼt participate in battles now and find a place to hide, I can live at most three hundred years. Since thatʼs the case, Iʼd rather use my remaining time to do more things, kill more demons.

Moreover, besides senior brother, Granny Hua, and the Academy Palace Master, no one knows about my injuries. As long as I hide my aura well and donʼt fight Ascension realm cultivators to the death, I wonʼt be exposed. Just by standing there, I can create quite a deterrent effect.”

Luo Yangʼs face showed sorrow.

”Senior brother neednʼt look so grim.” Xiao Mo used his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, ”I still have some time to live, but that Ascension realm great demon called Wan Xi lost his life then and there.”

”Sigh.” Luo Yang sighed and shook his head, ”Junior brother, donʼt be reckless in future battles.”

”Weʼll see.” Xiao Mo smiled without making any promises.

Just then, a message-carrying flying sword flew toward Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo opened the sword body, took out the letter and read it, ”Letʼs go, senior brother. We have work to do, to the front lines.”

With these words, Xiao Mo stepped forward and left Water Mirror City. Luo Yang looked at his junior brotherʼs figure and could only hurry to follow.

In the sixty-second year of the human-demon war, Xiao Mo served as lord of Wind Snow City, leading two hundred thousand human cultivators to resist the demon raceʼs final counterattack. Xiao Mo led his army to great victory, and Wind Snow Cityʼs army pursued the demons five hundred li, killing a total of one hundred sixty thousand demons.

In the sixty-fifth year of the human-demon war, the Ten Thousand Laws Realm had completely turned around its disadvantageous position. The Demon Realmʼs internal contradictions continued, their morale increasingly low. The Demon Realm proposed peace talks with the human race, but Xiao Mo decisively rejected this, believing the demonsʼ peace talks were false, while buying time to handle internal contradictions was true.

In the sixty-sixth year of the human-demon war, Xiao Mo overcame all opposition and, with the support of Confucian Academy Palace Master Kong Sheng, the Ten Thousand Laws Realm continued fighting the demon race, vowing to completely drive them out of the Ten Thousand Laws Realm.

In battle after battle, the human race gradually began gaining the upper hand and Xiao Moʼs injuries grew increasingly severe.

Originally three hundred years of lifespan kept shortening after each great battle, just like in his first life.

Fortunately, in the current human-demon war, the human race had gained the advantage, and this advantage was still expanding, while the demon race was showing signs of fatigue.

The piece of mysterious ice in the amber at Xiao Moʼs waist also completely melted after he killed a final Jade Simplicity realm great demon.

The day after accumulating enough merit, Xiao Mo completed the handover of all matters at hand, planning to immediately return to the Desolate Lands to treat Ruxue.

Then he would find a way to coax Ruxue into undergoing tribulation and ascending but just one hour before Xiao Mo was to depart for the Desolate Lands, a message-carrying flying sword landed before him.

This was a letter from Senior Sister Shang.

The letterʼs content was extremely brief:

”Little Green led the demon race to massacre two human sects. The human alliance is planning an encirclement.”
