The group that Mo Xie left behind made their way halfway to the Mo Family's location. They had increased their phase but at a terrible price.

A lot of people had eaten two times more than they could per day, they increased their phase by three times, but now, their ration is almost close to none.

"Mom, I'm hungry..." A young child spoke tugging her mother's waist.

"That... Let me look for some food now." The mom spoke as she looked at her daughter.

The mom looked at her 6-year old daughter, her face can be seen with a lot of her facial bones showing, her body already showing a lot of malnourishment.

This event isn't only happening for this family, all over the long line of people, mortal families are suffering the same.

Elder Zhong and Elder Lingxin looked at the area and couldn't help but be worried.

Yes, cultivators can last with as little ration as they could, they use their spiritual energy to fill in some of their needs, although it isn't satisfying, it's enough to keep them alive, the stronger one is, the more they do not need food, it is merely something that they would do in order to fulfill their hunger, they also need nutrients from food that can help temper their body.

But for others, these people can't, they are mortals, they can't gather spiritual energy to supplement themselves, for weaker cultivators under gold rank, they are also suffering as mortals do.

Elder Zhong sighs: "Are there no more demonic beast or animals that we can hunt?"

Elder Lingxin shook his head: "At first, there are many demonic beast hordes, but then, they must've smelt the aura of the demonic beast that we've killed, there are no more beasts that wish to approach our group..."

Elder Zhong nods his head: "Even the animals that we've been encountering is not enough to feed these many people..."

The two felt worried, they didn't wish for such an event to occur especially with the people that their patriarch/master has decided to bring over to their Mo Family.

After the two of them pondered for a while, they came to a conclusion, Lingxin is the first to speak: "Let's leave these group first and catch a few beasts to decrease their hunger for a bit."

Elder Zhong nods his head: "Yes, let's go..."

But before the two of them could move, they saw something approaching from afar.

"Elder Zhong, let the people take cover in the nearby forest, let the cultivators guard them for a while before we deal with this."

Elder Zhong nods as he shouts and ordered people.

Everyone trembled with fear, even the cultivators are nervous, if there is something that can make these two people afraid, then, they will definitely not escape this place unscathed.

Elder Zhong and Elder Lingxin looked at the far distance, a black dot can be seen flying in the sky coming to their direction.

If Elder Zhong and Elder Lingxin were to escape, they could at least bring with them the cultivators, but 90% of the people with them are mortals, they can't escape with these people.

Elder Zhong looked at Lingxin and spoke: "If we can't handle this foe, hurry back and return to the sect."

If the worst thing happens, the highest elder can always make the decision, it will be something that lower elders can go against, this is something that Shang Ting has decided with the approval of all the elders present.

Elder Lingxin didn't want to break this, he knew himself that danger is everywhere, but being ordered to escape alone leaving behind Elder Zhong is something hard for him to swallow, but they also need to report this matter to the Clan before anything else.

Elder Zhong chuckles: "Don't make such reaction, you are still young while I'm already old, you still have a long life ahead of you to serve our Master while I don't have that much time left."

Elder Longxin nods his head tremblingly: "Yes..."

A few more breaths past, the small black dot turned into an incredibly huge flying inverted mountain.

Lingxin frowns: "This is clearly something similar than ours."

Elder Zhong nods his head: "Yes, I hope this group would merely be pa.s.sing by."

The two elders waited as they rose their guard up.

The inverted mountain made it to their place, Elder Zhong and Elder Lingxin's heart beats faster and faster as they thought in their mind;

'Pa.s.s by, just pa.s.s by!'

But their hearts almost stopped as the inverted mountain stopped directly above them.

"Elder Lingxin, run now!"

Lingxin was about to move but before he could move, a voice sounded.

"Whew~ We've finally caught up with them."

A voice sounded extremely familiar to them.

Four figures descend from the flat top of the inverted mountain. Lingxin and Mo Zhong's eyes glowed with bright.

The two of them bowed as they clasped their fist together and spoke: "You've been well, master!"

Mo Xie smiled at them and spoke: "You guys seemed to have encountered some trouble."

"That... Master, the ration we had been completely depleted, we were only relying on encountering demonic beasts, beast, and animals to eat." Lingxin reported.

Mo Zhong bowed and spoke apologetically: "Master, it is all my doing, this servant deserves punishment."

Mo Xie chuckles: "Not really, if it weren't for you, we could've encountered a deficit when we haven't even reached half of the journey, I should reward you instead."

Knowing the problem is basically something he could solve immediately, Mo Xie flicked his fingers: "Lu Wen, let the heavenly blessed monkeys bring all the draconic meat we have down to the people here."

Like hearing Mo Xie's words, the inverted mountain trembles as a few hidden doors opened, monkeys started to pour down like rain carrying large chunks of meat as they hand it over to humans.

They immediately returned to the PaG.o.da after giving the meat to a human family.

The mortals felt bewildered but their most basic instinct made them think of consuming the food first, as they thought of it, they immediately ate the food sharing it with others equally.

Mo Xie sighed as he looked at the scene, if he were to be late for a single day, many would've already died, it is all thanks to Elder Zhong's great judgment that they were able to live up to this day.

For that, Mo Xie is extremely grateful.

Now, there is only a single problem, Mo Xie frowns: "How are we to bring these people on board?"

Elder Zhong is the first to speak: "How about letting those monkeys help us in a.s.sisting the mortals up."

Mo Xie thought of this before, but since it is the only option right now, Mo Xie didn't object.

It took at least a whole day before everyone was a.s.sisted up the floating fortress.

Mo Xie looked at them and spoke: "It will be less than a month's time before we arrive at the Mo Family's territory, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Everyone replied full of excitement, seeing the floating fortress, they couldn't help but expect something more.
