There are three of them, one a fluffy old man, mostly two hundred kilos in weight, then, the other two are fair maidens.
"Ma Dong[1]."
Although his figure had changed, his face hadn't been far from before. This is the same person that welcomed Mo Xie out of the Sword Demon Mountain, there was an instance that he had offered his whole village's populace to be taken under his wings, yet, Mo Xie declined it. Ma Dong, the village's chief!
But without Mo Xie's notice, even after he escaped from the Thousand Peaks Mysterious Cavern, he never noticed Ma Dong's presence!
The Ma Dong nodded his head: "I'm here to save your children."
"Save them?" Mo Xie asked, even he's unable to do anything, but Ma Dong, a chief from a village is actually saying saving them? Like it's as easy as that?
Ma Dong nodded his head: "Yes."
Mo Xie frowned: "This isn't the time to be joking about this, the life of my children are in the line here."
"You think that you can just say that openly? Do you even know what they are suffering from?!"
But not to his expectation, Ma Dong nodded his head: "Yes, I know."
"These are the const.i.tutions they are born with, although I can not really save them, I can prolong the time before their death arrives."
Ma Dong flashed by Mo Xie, but the latter immediately held his hand: "Where are you going?!"
"I didn't give you permission to move!"
Ma Dong nodded his head: "Right, but you do not have the authority to command me too!"
Pang! Mo Xie's hand was thrown away, like some sort of force, it was blown away!
Mo Xie's quite shocked, he held Ma Dong with his full strength, yet, the latter dismissed him just like that?
Ma Dong is merely a Sky Shattering rank, Mo Xie can detect it as the former wasn't even hiding! But for some reason, Ma Dong's physical strength far surpa.s.ses his!
Ma Dong looked at him and spoke: "You are not the only one that has that bloodline..."
As he finished speaking, his aura bursts forth, but only to the point where Mo Xie can feel it.
Mo Xie looked at Ma Dong in shock, pure brute strength!
"Tyrannical G.o.d's Physique?!" He couldn't help but exclaim.
Ma Dong nodded his head: "I am the descendant of a G.o.d, his name is Ma Dong, his blood runs through mine, although it's thin, it's still there."
"G.o.d Zhihao bestowed this strength to him, and as his descendant, I am the 724th bearer of his n.o.ble bloodline!"
Mo Xie became speechless, but then, Ma Dong continued: "I've given you the chance to take us under your wings, I truly felt indignant about that, but I shall still follow our law."
He didn't even wait for Mo Xie as he looked at the three babies a few meters away from them and spoke: "If this continues, they will die in one year."
"Due to the thickness of spiritual energy within your territory, they can only last for a year at max, no more than that, the longer they stay here, the lesser chance that they can survive!"
"Each of them has different const.i.tution, hence, I will need three methods to seal the three of them."
As he spoke to this, he looked back at Mo Xie: "I can only prolong that to ten years, make your choice!"
Mo Xie felt shaken: "Ten years... do you know a way to cure them completely?"
Ma Dong shook his head and answered without any hesitation: "No."
Mo Xie's expression grew grim, but after a few seconds, he looked at Ma Dong: "Then, help me, please."
For a person like Mo Xie with really high pride, he had merely begged twice, the first time was for asking a few foods and this time, to save his children's lives!
Ma Dong nodded his head: "I only have these three things with me, which, all three of them can hibernate for ten years."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, his storage ring brought out some sort of paG.o.da looking thing, together with it, then, beside it is a mansion and the other one seemed to be a bathing house, under them is a seemingly
"What is this..." Mo Xie felt speechless, it's distinctive aura is only a little, but he can figure out what kind of level of treasure it is: "Sacred Armament?[2]"
It's like a miniature
Ma Dong nodded his head: "This is the heirloom pa.s.sed through the years of the village's existence, it can only be used once, after that, it will be destroyed."
"Ten years..." Mo Xie looked at it then asked: "If the ten years is up, this armament will be destroyed?"
Ma Dong nodded his head: "Yes."
"What are your intentions, what are you doing sacrificing something like that to save my three children?" Mo Xie asked for a frown, there is no free lunch in any world after all.
But what happened next made Mo Xie speechless.
Ma Dong's eyes displayed a pained expression, although it merely lasted not even a second, Mo Xie caught sight of it, such expression couldn't be faked even for him!
Ma Dong smirked: "I am merely doing what is right, this treasure is merely an item, to exchange it for the lives of these three precious children, I am much obliged to do so!"
"The Ma Bloodline will always be rightful and just!"
Seeing that Ma Dong isn't willing to open up his real intentions, although he has some hidden thoughts, Mo Xie didn't further pry to it, so long as the other party does not have any ill intention for them, then, he'll comply.
Ma Dong then continued: "This treasure can seal them inside, but people can still enter and exit so long as the owner of the treasure permits it."
"This place has no spiritual energy inside, just pure nature, but they will be living like prisoners inside."
"They can live here for ten years until the time is up, after that, you should have a way to help them."
"This is a treasure crafted by Ma Dong himself when he reached G.o.dhood, the heirloom pa.s.sed to us as his direct descendant!"
"But for that, you need to place it in a location with the thinnest spiritual energy as much as possible."
"Or else, the treasure will be breached by the spiritual energy in the long run and will have some seeped inside."
Mo Xie frowns, 'A place with no spiritual energy?'
He has no knowledge of such a place!
But then, like a sudden euphoria, he looked at Ma Dong.
"You mean... to place it inside the Sword Demon Mountain?" Mo Xie asked.
Ma Dong nodded his head: "Yes."
Mo Xie frowned, he thought that he could've at least bring his children along, but to think that he can't and if he pushed it further, his children will die if he brings it with him!
But still, Mo Xie nodded his head: "Then, about taking care of my children."
Ma Dong nodded his head: "You can rest a.s.sured, even over my dead body, whoever wishes harm to these children will not be able to!"
"I vow to the heavens, that even in death, I will protect these three children with my life, my soul, and my spirit!"
Brggg! Thrrrmm~!! Brrbrum! As he made his oath, the skies darkened as sharp lightning descends slas.h.i.+ng everywhere as thunders roared throughout the whole of the Fallen Leaf Continent before it vanished again!
Mo Xie couldn't believe his eyes, such a vow created by a Sky Shattering ranked expert produced such a phenomenon?! Even when he made a vow from his previous life, he couldn't produce something like that!
Just how powerful is this Ma Dong in front of him.
At this moment, Shang Ting moved over: "Husband... If that's the case, we can search for a cure, right?" She asked worriedly as her emotion couldn't be controlled anymore.
Mo Xie nodded his head: "Yes, that's the case."
Shang Ting nodded her head: "Then, let's do that, that's the only way path we can take now."
Mo Xie nodded his head: "I know."
As he answered, he looked at Ma Dong: "Then, I will entrust my children's lives to you."
Ma Dong nodded: "Of course, I will do whatever I can."
At this moment, Shang Ting's friends, Qianmei and the others approached: "How about we take care of them while all of you are gone?"
Qingmei nodded her head: "It's the least we could do to repay you for saving us."
"Right!" The others nodded too.
Shang Ting felt warm as she nodded: "Thank you."
They are in their teens, the most important life of a female, having to spend it taking care of someone else's children...
Mo Xie nodded his head: "Then, I thank you in advance."
He had just repaid Qianmei for saving his life before, but now, he already became indebted again as soon as he paid it. Since they will be losing their youth from this time, then, Mo Xie thought of paying them by giving them eternal youth once the problem is resolved!
"No worries about it." Qianmei smiled at Mo Xie weakly, she's a playful child, but after suffering from many life-threatening events, she matured with the others quite early.
Mo Xie nodded his head: "Ask Elder Zhong to accompany them and bring two hundred servants and five hundred warriors for the daily needs of all of you together with the village."
Mo Xie and Shang Ting themselves placed their children inside, an energy wrapped the three children as they were sucked in together with Shang Ting's friends.
The children's expression softened tremendously, they completely returned to normal!
Mo Xie heaved a sigh of relief, he looked at Ma Dong and cupped his fists: "I thank you for helping me in this time of need."
But instead of answering him with a respectful gesture, Ma Dong patted Mo Xie's head and destroyed his hairstyle: "In due time, you will know who I am, and such gesture will be pointless between us."
Ma Dong smiled as his figure together with the two females blurred before vanis.h.i.+ng completely.
'Know who he is?' Mo Xie felt speechless.
But after a while, Mo Xie sighed: "Nothing can be done now, we need to find a way to save our children!"
Shang Ting nodded her head: "Then, the best place to start is..."
Mo Xie pondered for a bit before looking straight towards the north as uttered: "Myriad Earth Abyss Continent..."
