Chapter 394: Rescue Mission

Mo Mo.
The person who arrived was none other than Mo Mo—whom Xiao Bei had long remembered—Mo Mo who disappeared after fighting with Lu Mingyue at the entrance of the Wangling Tomb. Although she wore a conical hat and her face was covered by a flowing white veil, her familiar figure and unique cold aura allowed Kai Xin to recognize her immediately.
“How come you’re here?”
Seeing Mo Mo alone and appearing with such a cold demeanor at the Heiliu Villa, Kai Xin was puzzled, his eyes showing a strange expression…
“I’m here on a mission. How come you’re here?”
Mo Mo, however, wasn’t as relaxed as Kai Xin. She rushed forward like a green rainbow, lifted the veil, and glanced through the gap at the large group of fierce Heiliu Villa disciples behind Kai Xin, showing confusion: “Did you also receive that rescue mission?”
“What rescue mission? I was practicing…”
Taking advantage of the gap in the veil, Kai Xin caught a quick glimpse—Mo Mo’s face seemed even colder, with less enthusiasm and naivety, and more indescribable indifference. Her gaze softened slightly when it turned to him: “Practicing here?”
“There are three experts at the Liberation Realm in the Heiliu Villa. You’re quite bold.”
Hearing this, Kai Xin immediately understood why those three old monsters allowed him to act recklessly outside the villa—there must be some secrets hidden there. But… this rescue mission would be quite difficult for Mo Mo. He smiled slightly: “You still dare to take on a mission with experts at the Liberation Realm in charge.” Although Mo Mo’s skills had already been proven outside the Wuhu Ancient Tomb, with her superb swordsmanship comparable to Xiao Bei’s, completing the rescue mission from three such experts was by no means easy.
Hearing this, Mo Mo sighed lightly.
“The original plan was to infiltrate and rescue them, but that’s impossible now. The three old monsters are on high alert. Infiltrating now has no chance of success.”
Kai Xin was embarrassed: “Haha, an accident, just an accident.” A mission involving three experts at the Liberation Realm surely wasn’t simple. His own practice had apparently caused Mo Mo a great deal of trouble.
Mo Mo flew ahead calmly, her tone indifferent: “Those who know nothing are not guilty. Besides, last time, if it weren’t for you, I would’ve been killed by that pervert. I even received this mission by chance. I should thank you… What are you looking at?” As she spoke, she suddenly noticed Kai Xin staring at her with a very strange look.

It turned out that while talking, Kai Xin noticed for the first time that Mo Mo had been able to keep up with his speed for some time, which greatly surprised him: “Have you reached the Life and Death Realm?”
“Mm,” Mo Mo nodded. “What’s wrong?”
“No wonder. Your lightness skills are quite good,” Kai Xin said in astonishment.
With his Master-level Illusion Demon Movement and the full set of three-tier Golden Armor, among today’s martial arts masters, aside from a few like Lu Mingyue, few could possibly keep up with him, even if they entered the Life and Death Realm.
Mo Mo seemed to prefer not to talk much. Hearing Kai Xin’s praise, she changed the subject abruptly: “I couldn’t help with the matters of the Colorful Robes Sect… Are you fine now?”
“Thank you for worrying,” Kai Xin replied politely. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something strange—Mo Mo, who had been an enthusiastic young hero wielding a sword, had become overly polite, perhaps because of Lu Mingyue’s incident having a deep impact on her.
“I’m fine now.”
The two flew side by side for a while more, in silence, the atmosphere growing somewhat dull.
Kai Xin turned around again to watch the disciples of Black Willow Manor practicing the “Shadowless Blade.” Sensing Kai Xin’s movement, Mo Mo also seemed to notice the coldness between them. She said, “When you attack the First-Class Hall, you can send me a message,” before turning and rushing toward Black Willow Manor…
“Hey! What are you doing…?”
Startled, Kai Xin quickly sped up and called out to Mo Mo, who was approaching the high wall: “Wait!”
She stopped, puzzled, and turned around. “What’s wrong?”
With a look of urgency, Kai Xin shouted, “Weren’t you saying that startling them would make it impossible to infiltrate Black Willow Manor? Going now is seeking death!”
Mo Mo hesitated for a moment before looking straight into Kai Xin’s eyes and answering, “I still want to try. For this mission, I’ve been running for six days and nights, completing seven tasks. Black Willow Manor is the last stop. Giving up now… would be a pity.”
“Can’t you come at another time?”
Kai Xin was stunned, then suddenly thought of a possibility, his heart racing violently.
Could it be a time-limited infiltration mission?
If so, the difficulty would be even higher, and the rewards would likely be top-tier…
Sure enough!
Mo Mo said in a resigned tone, “The news about the rescue will be revealed before nightfall. By then, the people will be taken away. So, this is the only chance…”
“…”
Kai Xin frowned and took a deep breath.

She never expected that her own training would inadvertently ruin Mo Mo’s crucial hidden mission. The reward might be an unparalleled martial art, or perhaps a divine or demonic artifact. At this thought, Kai Xin’s expression turned serious: “Since this mission can be disrupted by external forces, it must allow such interference, right?” With some experience in the restrictions of various missions in the martial world, Kai Xin quickly thought of a way to get involved and carry it on.

Below the high walls, Mo Mo was stunned for a moment before nodding after a long pause: “It seems possible, but…” “The difficulty of the mission will increase accordingly?” Kai Xin interrupted before she could answer. Mo Mo was stunned again and couldn’t help lifting her veil, a strange glow appearing in her eyes: “You want to help me?”

If it were any other player, Mo Mo would definitely refuse, as the increased difficulty might exceed her capacity to handle. But Kai Xin was different—he had single-handedly fought against the King of Endurance and escaped from Heiliu Manor unharmed. With his help, as long as he could hold off the two masters of Heiliu Manor just long enough to buy her some time, there was hope for the mission.

“If my actions ruin your mission, I’ll feel guilty. Tell me, what should I do?” Kai Xin’s clear voice reached Mo Mo’s ears. She was initially delighted but then hesitated and said, “But what about your own plans…” “Simple,” Kai Xin replied, understanding her meaning. “Give me twenty minutes.” He turned around, threw the flying knife in his hand, swiftly drew the three-colored Gentleman Sword, transformed into a golden, restrained Golden Bell, and soared through the air with a thunderous roar, crashing into the crowd of Heiliu Manor’s disciples with astonishing force. Boom!!!
