That night, Niu Kexin, Liu Hui, Jin Sanpang, Qian Duoduo, Li Yuanhao, Wu Bainian, the leaders of the Mountain and Sea Empire and the Void Sect, and all the mbers of the Won’s Corps gathered together.
They were all extrely curious, wanting to know why Mo Qi had summoned them.
Those who knew each other were discussing it in low voices.
"Liu Hui, you little rascal, you must know the inside story. Spill it!" the second of the Ni Brothers asked brazenly, grabbing Liu Hui by the sleeve.
Liu Hui glanced at Second Brother Ni, pulled his sleeve free, and said with a placid expression, "No comnt."
Second Brother Ni’s expression stiffened, and he said with a hint of bitterness, "Hmph, and after this old man treated you so well back in the day. Now you won’t even acknowledge . Kids these days... Sigh. The world is going to the dogs, and people just aren’t what they used to be!"
As he spoke, Second Brother Ni sighed dramatically, his resentful gaze like that of a young wife who had been endlessly wronged.
Liu Hui remained unmoved. Instead, he let out a cold laugh and said, "You treated so well, didn’t you, Second Master Ni?"
Liu Hui stressed the three words "Second Master Ni," clearly mocking the Ni Brothers for taking advantage of him by giving him a presumptuous nickna back then.
Seeing Liu Hui bring up this embarrassing incident, Second Brother Ni imdiately shut his mouth.
’Bad move!’
’Ti to get out of here!’
Just then, Mo Qi appeared before them.
The once-noisy hall instantly fell silent as everyone turned to look at Mo Qi.
eting their gazes, Mo Qi scanned the crowd before his eyes finally settled on the mbers of the Void Sect and the Mountain and Sea Empire.
"We all ca here from the Mountain and Sea Empire, so I’ll be blunt with you."
"I’ve called you here today because there are a few things I want to share."
"First, the Hall of Envoys is vast—larger than any of us can imagine. This land we’re in now, all the families we’ve encountered like the Feng Family, the Huangfu Family, the Xiao Family, the Liu Family, and so on... they all belong to just one of the hundred Sub-Palaces under the Hall of Envoys."
As soon as he said this, everyone, aside from the few who already knew, stared with their mouths agape.
They had always thought that families like the Feng Family, the Huangfu Family, the Xiao Family, and the Liu Family represented the entirety of the Hall of Envoys. They never imagined it wasn’t even the tip of the iceberg.
In that case, the overall power of the Hall of Envoys had to be terrifying!
After giving them a mont to process this news, Mo Qi continued, "Therefore, you should set your sights higher. There’s no need to limit yourselves to the Feng Family."
"The world is so big. Don’t you want to go out and see it?"
The mbers of the Void Sect and the Mountain and Sea Empire fell into deep thought.
A vast world held an undeniable allure, but the accompanying dangers made them hesitate.
"Now for the second matter," Mo Qi said. "The tempering in the Demon Spirit Battlefield will last for fifty years. This ans that for the next five decades, I won’t be able to act as a bridge between you and the Feng Family."
"You’ll have to rely on yourselves for everything."
"However, you don’t need to worry too much. If anything cos up, you can find the Feng Family’s Alchemy Master, Feng Zhang. He will help you as much as he can."
"This is the most I could arrange for you."
This was all Mo Qi had to say to the Void Sect and the Mountain and Sea Empire.
Every person has their own destiny, to say nothing of two entire factions.
Mo Qi felt that he had repaid his debts and done everything he needed to do.
How they chose to walk their future path was up to them.
If they were fated to et again after the Demon Spirit Battlefield’s tempering, Mo Qi wouldn’t mind giving them another helping hand.
But by then, who could say how many would still be alive?
Ignoring the silent mbers of the Void Sect and the Mountain and Sea Empire, Mo Qi turned to his own core team, led by Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang.
"Seven days from now, the hundred Sub-Palaces will select a group from the younger generation for a simple exchange competition."
"After the competition, the various Sub-Palaces will extend olive branches to the outstanding perforrs and try to recruit them."
"As I’ve said, the Feng Family is too small a stage for us. There isn’t enough at in a single Sub-Palace for all of us to eat. Therefore, our targets are the other Sub-Palaces!"
"Do your best in the exchange competition. Go all out. Rember, I will always be your strongest backer. I’ve got your back, no matter what!"
It was just a few simple sentences, with no deliberate theatrics or emotional embellishnt, but Liu Hui and the others, including everyone in the Won’s Corps, reacted as if they’d been injected with chicken blood. Their eyes red, they tilted their heads back and roared at the sky.
"My Lord is mighty! My Lord is invincible!"
"Young Master is mighty! Young Master is invincible!"
"Uncle is mighty! Uncle is invincible!"
The three different titles mingled together, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Good, good! One year from now, we will et on the Demon Spirit Battlefield. I hope that however many of you are here today, the sa number will be there then. Not one of you shall be missing!"
With that, Mo Qi waved his wide sleeve, and thousands upon thousands of dicinal Pills flew out, landing precisely in everyone’s hands.
Two for each person, one black and one white.
"These are gifts I prepared for you. Now, everyone, take the black dicinal Pill."
No one hesitated or doubted him. The mont they heard Mo Qi’s words, they all took the black dicinal Pill.
"Huh? It’s tasteless?!"
The crowd, who knew full well the miraculous nature of his dicinal Cuisine, all wore strange expressions and looked at each other in confusion.
After chewing the black dicinal Pill, no fragrance wafted out, and their taste buds registered no flavor at all.
However, just as they were feeling bewildered, they suddenly discovered sothing even more surprising than tasting a flavorless dicinal pill.
To their astonishnt, they found they could sense an aura of intimacy from one another.
It was as if a connection had ford between them.
"Brother Mo, what is this stuff? It’s so cool!" Jin Sanpang was the first to ask, unable to hold back.
Mo Qi smiled. "It’s just a little gadget I whipped up recently. Are you all able to sense the location and status of the others through a certain aura?"
"Yes," the crowd nodded.
"That’s right." Mo Qi’s smile widened. "This aura allows you to sense who is an ally within a hundred-li radius. You can even use it to transmit simple signals, like a call for help."
"Also, this aura can only be perceived by those of you who have taken this specific dicinal pill. Others can’t sense it, so you don’t have to worry about being exposed."
Hearing this, everyone gasped in unison.
’What kind of black magic is this?!’
’For sothing so ridiculously overpowered to exist!’
’Once we get to the Demon Spirit Battlefield, this will be the ultimate cheat code!’
’They could ambush people, work in tandem, and pull every trick in the book! Their opponents wouldn’t stand a chance!’
"I’m sure you’ve already guessed what this ans. That’s right. I want you all to unite with sincere cooperation, to twist your strength into a single rope, supporting and looking out for one another."
"This isn’t just for the Demon Spirit Battlefield. Our future path is a long, long one!"
