Mo Qi thought his words made sense, so he swept off in the direction she indicated, quickly entering a dense forest.
Mo Qi weaved left and right in the dense forest, completely losing his bearings, relying entirely on Zhu Yan's guidance.
He activated his Heavenly Eye Divine Ability, but found nothing.
In this situation, there were only two possibilities: either the woman was dead, smashed to pieces, reduced to dust.
Or the woman was alive and had used some divine ability to prevent others from finding her.
But strangely, Zhu Yan seemed particularly sensitive to her presence, moving forward without any pause, without stopping at all.
Before long, Mo Qi arrived before a mountain and, following Zhu Yan's guidance, walked to a patch of wildflowers.
Zhu Yan said, "This is it."
Mo Qi looked around, "Here? There's nothing here?"
Zhu Yan said, "Let me out."
Mo Qi cooperated and released her.
Zhu Yan gradually condensed from a wisp of light and shadow into a human-like form, about the size of a palm, landing in Mo Qi's palm. She looked at the flower patch, "Sister, I come from the same place as you. Please resume your human form, we will heal your injuries."
Under Mo Qi's astonished gaze, one of the flowers gradually twisted and expanded, gradually transforming into a human form, but it couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground.
At this moment, her entire body was covered in injuries, yet it couldn't conceal her graceful curves and peerless beauty. Coupled with her injuries, she appeared incredibly pitiable, evoking a desire to cherish and protect.
Mo Qi then looked at Zhu Yan, "Didn't you say you wanted to heal her? Go ahead."
Zhu Yan smiled faintly, "Don't be so stingy. When I said 'we,' I meant you."
Mo Qi rolled his eyes. You're quite good at making favors.
However, none of this was important. The key was that they were from an outer world. If he saved them without authorization, would it bring disaster to this world? Mo Qi hesitated.
"What is your name?" Zhu Yan asked the woman.
"My name is Chan'er."
Just as Mo Qi was hesitating, several figures landed in the area one after another.
They glared at Mo Qi with predatory eyes, then at the woman.
Chan'er looked dejected, feeling as if she couldn't go on living.
Mo Qi put Zhu Yan back into the box, scanned the surroundings. There were five people in total, all old men. To his surprise, one of them was an acquaintance, Xiao Tie.
Xiao Tie was also shocked, staring at Mo Qi for a long time, unable to speak.
However, he didn't mention seeking death at all. It seemed that after Xiao He's guidance, he had come to terms with things.
Indeed, wasn't it good to be alive?
"You ran, but you can't run anymore, can you?" another short, stout old man said to the woman, "Hand it over quickly, and we can leave you a whole corpse."
The woman struggled to stand up. Mo Qi stepped forward to help her, seizing the opportunity to feed her a pill.
Xiao Tie saw his action but said nothing.
Mo Qi helped the woman up, "If you've taken someone else's thing, hand it over quickly. What's the big deal?"
The stout old man praised, "Young man, you're good. You're quite sensible."
The woman suddenly felt the pain in her body gradually disappear, and her condition began to improve. Her surprise was imaginable.
"Do you know what they want me to hand over?" Chan'er said with a hint of playfulness.
"I don't know..." Mo Qi was a bit bewildered. I was just saying something to fill the silence; you don't need to take it so seriously.
The woman said righteously, "It's the Star Fortune Stone. Whoever snatches the Star Fortune Stone gets it. Why should I give it to them?"
The Star Fortune Stone was something that drifted outside the world, like a star, shining brightly, traversing the night sky, leaving a long tail.
It was said that this item could be made into a magical treasure, an absolute weapon for killing, or it could be used to nourish a world, providing an endless supply of spiritual energy for people to cultivate and establish their lives.
Xiao Tie snorted, "It's your fault for coming to the Silver River world to snatch it."
"What could I do?" The woman spread her hands, "I was chasing it from outside the Silver River world, but I just couldn't catch up. Then I followed it in."
The five old men became increasingly astonished as they watched. This woman, who had looked half-dead just moments ago, was now full of life and vigor.
Xiao Tie felt a bit regretful. It was all his fault for being curious and wanting to see how magical his pill was, which had led to the current situation.
"We'll probably have to put in some effort. Let's surround and attack her together, and then snatch the Star Fortune," Xiao Tie said.
The others also realized the problem. She must have recovered!
Since she had recovered, she wouldn't obediently surrender. It would definitely take more effort.
However, they were confident they could kill her and snatch the Star Fortune.
As the old men prepared to make their move, Mo Qi immediately held up his hand, "Wait a moment."
The stout old man ignored him and continued to form hand seals, but Xiao Tie stopped him, "Xiao Tong, let him speak."
Xiao Tong stopped forming hand seals and looked at Mo Qi.
The others also turned their gazes to Mo Qi.
Mo Qi said, "It's like this, I can see that you are all ill. You cannot get angry or exert yourselves further. Anger and exertion will accelerate your death."
"Nonsense," Xiao An rebuked, "Why do you think we're chasing her? Because only the Star Fortune can alleviate our pain."
"But who are you?" Xiao An said dismissively, "Why are you meddling in our affairs? Do you know who we are?"
Mo Qi shook his head, "I don't know who you are, but I know you are ill."
Then he added, "Even if you snatch the Star Fortune, what good is it? Can it save all five of you at once?"
"Saving one is better than none. We can't all just wait here to die," Xiao Tie said.
Mo Qi chuckled and teased, "Didn't you wish to die? Why are you afraid of death now?"
Xiao Tie's expression remained unchanged, "You know nothing about the world. The reason I don't want to die is because I know this world needs me. Calamity is imminent, and people are about to face a devastating disaster. If we ignore it, things will become irreversible. Not everyone can be like you, fixated only on their personal grudges?"
Mo Qi paid no attention to his offense and said nonchalantly, "I never thought you, who kills without batting an eye, would start lecturing me. If you are so compassionate, why were there so many white bones by the river?"
Xiao Tie froze. Xiao An said, "Do you know who we are? We can make anyone die, including you. So, stop your incessant babbling here. Believe it or not, I can kill you with a single finger!"
Mo Qi shook his head, "I don't believe it."
"You..." Xiao An was furious, pointing at Mo Qi, "Do you really want to die?"
Mo Qi shook his head, "I don't want to die either. I just think you're bragging. You think you can kill me with a single finger? Who do you think you are?"
Xiao An gritted his teeth in anger, "Alright, if I can't kill you with a single finger, I'll leave here immediately."
This was exactly what Mo Qi wanted. He immediately said, "It's a deal. You all bear witness, don't go back on your word."
Xiao An said, "It's a deal."
Xiao Tie said, "You're courting death."
