Mo Xie is feeling tremendous guilt in his heart, he underestimated the enemies so much.
He calculated the risk already but didn't consider the possibility that Zuo Baize would actually go through so much just to drag the Xiao Clan from another Kingdom to this City. This is a grave mistake that he had just committed and with the price of his subordinate's lives.
"I've grown too accustomed with the peaceful life I had for years..." Mo Xie spoke, he silently went towards Lingxin.
"You should silently recuperate, we will definitely get out of here." Mo Xie spoke quietly.
Lingxin chuckles: "Patriarch... I know my body too well, I've already lived with it for 50 years..."
"I will die today..."
Mo Xie wanted to make some sacred elixirs later to heal Lingxin's body, but with limited resources, he doubts it that there would be even a single herb in the City or even the whole Kingdom that can barely pa.s.s to become an ingredient for the pills.
Mo Xie with knitted brows couldn't help but have his chest tightened, he couldn't even protect his people, what's the use of the billions of years that he had experienced? He blamed himself for everything, being incompetent at such a dire situation, he couldn't help but feel helpless for the first time in his two lives.
"Patriarch..." At this moment, Lingxin saw his expression; "I didn't regret anything... Please do not blame yourself..."
Mo Xie looked towards Lingxin: "No... It is-"
"Patriarch... No need to be hard on yourself... Us... The five Elders know of your means, we know that you will definitely lead the Mo Family to the peak, I guess that is my only regret, not being able to witness Patriarch and the others..."
Mo Xie felt his heart tightened, but still, he listened, to the last few words of his subordinate, the Offensive Elder, Mo Lingxin.
"Patriarch... Please do not let this become the heart demon of you, as I and Wuhan definitely regret nothing, Destiny is but a man-made word. As soon as we became a cultivator, we've already set one of our feet to the grave, what's the use of living longer while being safe? Hahaha... We also have our pride... Patriarch... Can I make a stupid request?"
Mo Xie looked at Lingxin as he nodded: "I will do anything I can to fulfill it."
"I... and Wuhan... No, all of us Elders know that you are extremely powerful, not in terms of cultivation, but the mystery living inside you...
You came... out of nowhere, giving us means of unimaginable power, yet, we know so little of you...
We even thought that you were a supreme being, but due to some circ.u.mstances, your cultivation was destroyed..."
Lingxin spoke, inside Mo Xie, he answered: 'You got it half correct...'
"Patriarch... Is there any means, for... for the both of us... Grand Elder Wuhan and I to witness the flouris.h.i.+ng of our Mo Family in the future?" Lingxin asked, he was hesitant before, but he would rather ask than forever carry this feeling inside his heart.
Mo Xie paused for a while, there are a lot of means that he can think of, but out of all of this, there are only four things which can make that person have a slight freedom, but with a heavy price, his soul.
"Yes, but there will be-" Mo Xie was interrupted by Lingxin as he spoke.
"Patriarch, I don't care... So long as I can witness everything with my very own eyes..." Lingxin spoke.
Mo Xie nodded, he took out a paper and started writing some seals on it.
After a while, Mo Xie finished it.
"Kuk!" A low growl was heard, Mo Xie, snuck a peak towards Yijun and Zedong. currently, Yijun is being pushed back, his body is also not in a very good shape, but luck is on his side, as the enemies are playing with him.
"Lingxin..." Mo Xie spoke.
"Pa...Patriarch..." Lingxin is already at his final few breathes.
"Gather your Spiritual Energy, and let it flow to this piece of paper, I will handle the rest." Mo Xie spoke.
Struggling, Lingxin placed his hand on top of the paper and let his Spiritual Energy flow, Mo Xie nodded and spoke: "That's it, continue."
But suddenly, it stopped, Lingxin's heaving body also cease to continue, Mo Xie's face darkened, Lingxin had died.
"Don't worry, I`ll continue the process..." Mo Xie spoke, he took out a needle set and starts placing it on Lingxin's body, almost like the same as Shang Ting's, he's making a Celestial Perfect Body on a dead person!
"I will let you all witness the peak, don't worry." Mo Xie's voice sounded, the process he's doing is almost the same as one does with the Demon Beast cores, but this time, Mo Xie is transferring Lingxin's soul and Soul Sea directly to the paper.
It is a technique used to make a Soul Puppet, but without any materials, Mo Xie can only do it with the piece of paper, maybe, in the future, he'll transfer him and Wuhan to a Soul Puppet, something that he'll create himself.
"Done." Mo Xie spoke, the process is finished, he also withdrew a dagger and sliced Lingxin's palm, the flow of blood was supposed to be slow, but with a perfect body, the blood looks like a waterfall.
Mo Xie made a few hand seals, and as soon as the last hand seals were done, Lingxin's body and the paper started to glow at the same time.
"What is that?" The peak Earth ranked Coralist exclaimed, all of them looked at the bright glowing light.
But something weird happened, something came out of the light, a projectile is directly flying towards the peak Earth ranked Coralist.
"Hmmp! Mere tricks!" His words spoken with great confidence, but as soon as that arrow arrives, he felt something weird.
"Sealing Heart!" A voice sounded from the glowing light as it slowly dissipates, a silhouette appeared there aiming with another shot.
The expert that tried to block it now has his hands paled by the arrow, but there weren't any movements coming from him, its like he became a statue, only his eyes are moving while staring at Mo Xie in shock.
"Patriarch!" Zedong, Yujin, and the disciples exclaimed as they saw Mo Xie's arrival.
The 5-star Earth ranked Coralist looked at his comrade who has an arrow pierced on his hands, its like that Peak Earth ranked Coralist is saying something like; 'Save me.'
"F*ckers!" The 5-star Earth ranked Coralist howled as he charged towards Mo Xie; "Release him at once!"
"Patriarch!" Yijun, Zedong, and the disciples howled, Yijun is the only one with a steady body within the group, hence, he was to first one to move.
Mo Xie frowned, he pulled his bowstring again, thinking if he should retrieve the arrow, but after a while, he stopped, in his face gleamed a smile.
_Wooosh~_ "ROAAAAAAAR!"
An extremely fast and long shadow pa.s.sed by the expert's body, and as soon as that shadow's body completely pa.s.sed, the only remaining part of the 5-star Earth ranked Coralist is his foot.
Something unexpected happened that only Mo Xie antic.i.p.ated, Little Red has returned with a grand entrance, killing the 5-star Earth ranked Coralist swiftly.
"Apologies, Master. I was delayed so much by those weaklings." Little Red spoke, his body covered with injuries from head to tail.
Mo Xie shook his head and replied: "Nevermind that, you did your best, recover first."
"Yes, Master." Little Red nodded as he shrank his body and coiled around Mo Xie's arms.
Mo Xie halts for a bit and spoke: "Little Red."
"What is your-"
"Thank you for being alive." Mo Xie smiled as he continued his walk.
Little Red smiled and didn't speak any further.
"Patriarch!" Yujin shouted as he made his way towards Mo Xie while guarding any sort of attacks from the peak Earth ranked Coralist.
Zedong and the two disciples also made their way, Mo Xie then spoke; "Don't worry, he will never be able to move as long as that arrow is on his hands."
They nodded and started to walk towards Mo Xie, wondering what kind of arrow was that, to actually render a peak Earth ranked Coralist helpless, it must be a supreme treasure, but they got their answer next.
"That arrow contains Lingxin's soul and Soul Sea, I used all of his body and made it go inside the paper wrapping around that arrow's body." Mo Xie explained, he looked at Lingxin's disciple and handed a dagger towards him.
"Do as you like, he will never be able to resist."
The disciple s.h.i.+vered, but soon, took the dagger as he started walking towards the peak Earth ranked Coralist.
"THIS IS FOR MY MASTER!"
The disciple stabbed the dagger right through the ribs using all of his power, yet, the expert didn't even budge, blood started to flow out of his body, but the expert isn't even showing any kind of reaction.
Seeing this, the disciple started using all of his strength to put holes in the body of that expert, he purposely avoided the vital parts, as he wants this man to suffer more.
Mo Xie looked at the man being tortured and spoke: "I sure do know that you wanted to scream, you wanted to blink your eyes, you want to breathe properly, but all of your movements is sealed.
I am sorry to say this, but, the person you had killed made everything like this possible. In return, he will have his revenge too." Mo Xie spoke, as he sat on the ground and started recovering his Spiritual Energy, he also added.
"Do whatever you see fit to that person, but don't kill him unless Lingxin's disciple or I say so."
"Yes, Patriarch!" All of them spoke as they continued watching Lingxin's disciple continuously stabbed at the expert's body with rage-filled expression.
