Chapter 397: Joyful Intervention

As the dust settled, two figures gradually emerged from the shattered rocks of the artificial mountain. One of them wore a purplish-red robe, with a white veil draped over her conical hat, standing quietly beside an old man in tattered clothes yet still bearing dignity. Seeing the Red Flame Monster pushed back by a palm strike from the old man beside him, she felt both joy and a hint of concern.

Although Senior Wind God was the master of the third master of Heiliu Villa and his cultivation was unfathomable, he had been imprisoned and tortured by his three evil disciples for half a month, leaving his body severely weakened. Moreover, he had just broken the restrictions and used secret techniques to forcibly stimulate his internal energy to restore his strength, which had taken a huge toll on his body!

Sure enough…
As soon as the Red Flame Monster disappeared, Senior Wind God’s imposing aura vanished instantly. He bent over, clutching his chest and coughing violently:
“Cough! Cough cough…”
A large pool of bloody sputum appeared on the ground, a horrifying sight.
“Senior!”
Anxiously, Mo Mo quickly knelt down to check on him. “Are you alright?”
“I’m old,” Wind God said bitterly, waving his hand weakly. After taking a deep breath, he continued, “No wonder those three evil disciples didn’t want to wait any longer. They preferred to ambush me and their junior sister. By the way…” His face turned slightly red as he glanced at Mo Mo. “Was it my female disciple who distracted my other two evil disciples?” He knew that since the three disciples hadn’t gotten what they wanted from him, they surely wouldn’t leave Heiliu Villa easily.

Hearing this, Mo Mo’s expression darkened. “Senior, the Senior Xuanwu Sleeve you mentioned was already poisoned when I rescued her. Although I stole an antidote herb from the renowned poison doctor Hu Qingniu, it had been laced with Seven-Day Intestinal Rot Powder. Yesterday, when we chased her outside Heiliu Villa, she died from the poison.”

“…”
After hearing Mo Mo’s account, Wind God was filled with grief. A tragic look crossed his face. “Silly child, it’s my fault… Those three disciples’ poison skills aren’t even enough to trouble Sleeve. You foolish child risked going to Hu Qingniu myself. That man is extremely dangerous. Stealing medicine right under his nose is tantamount to seeking death. Sleeve knew she would die, but she still didn’t want me to suffer at the hands of those three disciples… Why go through such trouble?”

Seeing Wind God submerged in grief over his lost disciple, Mo Mo sighed softly and reminded him, “Senior Wind God, the dead are gone. Please grieve in silence. We should leave quickly—the three masters of Heiliu Villa will be back soon.”
“No need,” Wind God replied, his eyes flashing with sharpness and determination.

“Today, even if I die here, I must grind these three despicable scoundrels to dust! To avenge Shou’er!!” His tone was resolute.
“…”
Mo Mo’s expression changed. She quickly realized that the task, which should have been the final step, seemed to have new developments, yet the task log clearly showed it as completed!
Sitting in lotus position, Wind God assumed a meditative stance and said, “Young girl, I am very grateful that you risked your life to save me. However, my three despicable disciples are extremely powerful. With my current strength, even if I use all my secret techniques, I lack the power to kill them. So, I have a request—I hope you and your companion can help me avenge Shou’er… Of course, you can also withdraw.” Wind God’s tone turned colder. “As a reward, I will teach you a powerful martial art.”
“Ding!”
System prompt:
“Do you accept the task? If you choose to continue, you will assist Wind God in killing the three masters of Heiliu Villa; if you choose to terminate the task, you will receive Wind God’s martial art teachings and leave Heiliu Villa.”
Mo Mo’s expression darkened.
The task indeed had unexpected changes. Due to her involvement out of joy, the reward had slightly decreased, but there was an additional option.
Vengeance!
From the task of killing three experts at the Liberation Realm, its difficulty was evident, and the reward was surely higher than before. But to her surprise, another person had suddenly joined as the task recipient—Kai Xin, who accepted the task even faster than her.
Mo Mo immediately felt relieved.
For her, not to mention three experts at the Liberation Realm, even just one of them was beyond her ability to resist. Although she had reached the Life and Death Realm, the gap between her and Xuanmiao was significant. The difference between the Liberation Realm and the Life and Death Realm was enormous. Without equipment like Kai Xin’s, fighting against an expert at the Liberation Realm would only allow her to endure a few blows compared to those at the Xuanmiao Realm.
If it were only her helping Senior Wind God, there was no need to consider this task at all!
Kai Xin at least had the strength to fight against an expert at the Liberation Realm. Perhaps it was Kai Xin’s presence that triggered Wind God’s revenge quest…
It could be said that Kai Xin got this task because of her;
but Mo Mo also made this task more difficult due to Kai Xin’s involvement!
Danger and opportunity coexisted.
After some thought, Mo Mo accepted the task of helping Senior Wind God seek revenge.

“You two, buy me at least some time—about the length of a cup of tea. The secret technique was just activated, and I need to use my energy to recover. It’s not appropriate to act right now…” Wind God sighed in relief and instructed Mo Mo, “During this time, no matter what methods you use, don’t let anyone disturb me… Otherwise, having activated the secret technique in such a hurry, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to kill those three despicable scoundrels in one go.”
Mo Mo’s expression changed.
A cup of tea was roughly ten minutes!
Asking her and Kai Xin to hold off three experts at the Liberation Realm for ten minutes was simply too much—a task almost impossible to succeed in. Once the three masters gathered together, the two of them wouldn’t just be unable to stop them; they wouldn’t even dare to confront them head-on.
But since she had already taken on the task and always kept her word, she had no choice but to push through despite the difficulties.
“I understand.”
Gritting her teeth, she rushed to the top of the pavilion in the backyard.
From that high vantage point, she could not only keep an eye on Wind God as he healed but also spot enemies early and react promptly.
As for Kai Xin…
Mo Mo was fairly confident about him.
Someone who could fight his way through Heiliu Manor for half a month and injure one of the three masters, that old monster Red Flame, surely wasn’t in danger. Besides, since Kai Xin had chosen to take on the task, he must have some confidence and plan.
Ten minutes.
She could only rely on Kai Xin.
The longer they could buy time, the better her second line of defense could do its job.
“It’s up to you.”
Mo Mo gazed into the distant woods.
…
Not long after the First Master and Second Master chased after Kai Xin, they heard Red Flame’s furious cry as a warning:
“Damn you!”
“What’s Third Brother doing? He actually ran out of the manor on his own! If no one watches that old man, what if something happens?” The First Master snapped at the Second Master, “Second Brother, go see what’s going on!”
Kai Xin had been paying attention to the reactions of the two old monsters behind him. Naturally, he wouldn’t let them disrupt Mo Mo’s plan. The moment they were distracted, he turned around without hesitation, charged back, drew his sword, and acted in one swift motion…
The Imperial Extreme World Technique!
Before the stunning sword energy even faded, the First Master and Kai Xin passed each other by.
