Over a hundred thousand years had passed, and the Moon Lady had long grown accustod to the chaos of dynasties.
To her, it did not matter whether the Sacred Dynasty persisted. Her heart belonged solely to Ling Xiao.
"Your Highness Moon Lady, why not imprison him first and decide his fate after finding Ling Xiao? Perhaps Ling Xiao might have use for him," suggested Ji Mingkong.
"Mm, let’s do as you say."
The Moon Lady nodded in agreent.
She truly did not care about killing Timrman Muto; not killing him now simply ant she could still kill him later.
She turned to address the Scorpion Warriors, "Where is Ling Xiao?"
"Reporting to the Fairy, that old man inflicted severe injuries on Ling Xiao. His body is on the verge of collapsing. Our leader Xie Li has taken him into the forbidden grounds!"
At this point, the Scorpions had nothing to hide.
Upon hearing this, the Moon Lady, without a sign, struck out with her hand.
A palm wind, reminiscent of moonlight, blasted into Timrman Muto’s body.
Timrman Muto, who had just harbored a sliver of hope for survival, died with his eyes wide open.
"You shouldn’t have hurt him, much less nearly killed him!"
The Moon Lady muttered to herself before addressing the Scorpions again: "Lead the way. I want to go to the forbidden lands."
"Yes!"
The Scorpion Warriors were no fools. The Moon Lady could easily kill a Yin Yang Realm Martial Artist, a Grand Tutor of the Black Crow Empire, a celebrated War God reputed for decades.
To obliterate their tribe was rely a matter of a flick of her finger to her.
They were not that foolish.
Besides, they knew well the Moon Lady would not harm Ling Xiao, so what harm was there in letting her enter the forbidden lands?
The gate to the Blood Mirror Pool was tightly closed.
The Moon Lady coolly unleashed another palm strike.
The entire mountain shook, and boulders crumbled.
But the gate remained unscathed.
"It seems an Array Formation is set upon this door. Too bad I don’t understand it," the Moon Lady sighed lightly. "Leng i, Ji Mingkong, you can all go back. Go tell your Great General Ji Ning that Ling Xiao is all right. I will wait here by myself."
Knowing Ling Xiao was safe, she was no longer worried. But the idea of leaving just like that was absolutely unacceptable to her.
From today onwards, unless Ling Xiao asked her to leave, she would not stray from his side.
This man was her reason to live.
Without him, life held no interest for her.
"We won’t leave. The task of delivering the ssage can be left to Xin Tianweng; we will wait here as well!"
Leng i may have been fearful of the Moon Lady, but on this matter, there was no room for negotiation.
The Moon Lady said nothing and simply sat down cross-legged, closing her eyes to wait.
"Oh Fairy, perhaps you could find a place to stay first. To be frank, the Blood Mirror Pool is where our Scorpion Tribe’s king cultivates. Each entry takes at least a month, sotis even years to exit. Staying here and waiting isn’t a solution."
The Scorpion people were moved; Ling Xiao truly was lucky to have so many people willing to protect him and wait for him.
Even their only living leader, Xie Li, was ready to break the Scorpion Tribe’s rules to heal Ling Xiao in the forbidden lands.
This was probably what they called ’virtue has many helpers’.
"Dark Stingers, co hunting with nearby, and prepare for a long wait!"
Ji Mingkong stood up.
Since they would be waiting a long ti, provisions of food and drink were essential.
"There’s no need for that, esteed guests. Our Scorpion Tribe owes our savior a great debt, and while we cannot assist in many ways, we can handle the matter of food. After all, we are more familiar with this region," spoke a Deputy Commander of the Scorpion Tribe.
"Then we’ll have to trouble you, everyone rest in place."
Ji Mingkong nodded her head, not saying anything more.
What does waiting matter anyway, her life was saved by Ling Xiao.
As for the other mbers of Dark Stinger, there’s even less need to discuss that.
Ling Xiao had almost single-handedly changed the tide of battle in Northern Desert City, although now the people and soldiers of Northern Desert City have no choice but to reside temporarily at Northern Desert Pass.
But that’s because they were betrayed by their own people, and it’s not because Ling Xiao was incompetent.
Since that battle, they have both admired and trusted Ling Xiao; they had long since lost the initial reluctance they felt when they first followed Ling Xiao.
Never mind a few years, even if they had to wait here for decades, so what? It’s better to live here than to go back and let those dirty political sches ruin everything.
...
In the Blood Mirror Pool, Xie Li continued her cultivation.
Ling Xiao continued to monitor the situation from within that room.
Although the Taiji Mirror was destroyed, there was still a sarcophagus in the room.
The sarcophagus seed to have not been opened for a long ti, sealed very tightly, and through the Tai Chi Eye, he could see so secret inscriptions flickering.
This must be a Magic Array.
As a master of Array Formations and Magic Arrays, Ling Xiao did not recognize this Magic Array, but the analytical ability of the Tai Chi Eye was simply too strong.
In a re mont, the function, flaws, and components of the Magic Array were all revealed in his mind.
"Although it’s formidable, it’s a pity that since this Magic Array hasn’t been maintained for a long ti, it can’t stop !"
Looking at the sarcophagus, Ling Xiao smiled slightly and then continuously pressed his fingers on several points on the sarcophagus.
Monts later, with a click, the lid of the sarcophagus visibly loosened.
What exactly was in there?
He took a deep breath, prepared himself defensively, and then slowly pushed open the sarcophagus.
The instant he opened the sarcophagus, Ling Xiao was stunned.
There was nothing inside the sarcophagus!
Empty!
But that’s not right, why would an empty sarcophagus be protected by such a tightly sealed Magic Array?
There must be sothing wrong!
Just as Ling Xiao was puzzled, a dark shadow suddenly sat up from inside the sarcophagus.
To be honest, without the Tai Chi Eye, Ling Xiao would not have seen this dark shadow at all.
Because this dark shadow was not any material entity, but was a true Soul Body!
This is sothing invisible to the naked eye, only perceivable by Soul Power.
Of course, the Tai Chi Eye had its unique properties and naturally could see it.
"Eye of Light!"
The mont he spotted the dark shadow, Ling Xiao felt danger. That instant, he used an Ultimate Skill he had just comprehended from Light’s Profound Sixth Step—the Eye of Light!
The power of the Eye of Light, while relying on the Power of Light and the Mysteries of Light, required the Tai Chi Eye to be unleashed.
In that instant, all darkness was to be dispersed.
Light descended upon the world; living beings could be healed, while Dead Souls would be scattered.
The dark shadow scread wretchedly and actually flew back into the sarcophagus, cowering in a dark corner, unable to move.
Ling Xiao gave a cold laugh and turned his Tai Chi Eye again.
"Eye of the Immortal Pot!"
The Immortal Pot was originally a secret technique of the Soul, but now it had beco Ling Xiao’s Pupil Technique.
The dark shadow, weakened by the light, was then captured by the Eye of the Immortal Pot and taken into an isolated Space.
This space was connected to the Mountain and River World.
Completely controlled by Ling Xiao.
