Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 30: For Whom the Wind and Dew Stand in the Midnight

He returned covered in blood, his face pale and bloodless, clearly exhausted. However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even though Mo Yi was nearing his physical limit, he was still more than capable of dealing with these assassins.
What's more, seeing that Gong Lili had disappeared made Mo Yi feel inexplicably irritated, and naturally he had boundless murderous intentions. When Yan Xiaoxiao came back, Mo Yi had just finished his killing spree. He didn't even intend to leave anyone alive. Anyway, Ze Ze had just explained the situation to him. He knew that these people should be coming for Tu Bie, so there was no need to leave anyone alive!
Mo Yi had already known a little about Tu Bie's true identity from Canglong, and he also roughly understood Tu Bie's current situation. The reason why he concealed it from everyone was simply because he felt that the time was not right yet. After all, Tu Bie's identity was special. If too many people knew about it at this time, it would definitely cause an uproar. He could hide it for a while, so it was better.
This was not a momentary overflow of sympathy from Mo Yi, but rather a response to Canglong's request. Although Mo Yi had a cold personality, he still had to save Canglong's face.
More importantly, it is definitely better to make Tubie one of our own than to make him an enemy. After all, there is such a powerful force and strength hidden behind him.
Although Yan Xiaoxiao didn't know who the black-clad young man in the courtyard was, she had spotted the badly injured Zeze hiding behind him. Before leaving, she had entrusted the seriously injured Yan Zheng to him. Seeing him in such a miserable state, she immediately had a foreboding premonition. She hurried forward to Zeze and asked, "Where's Yan Zheng?"
Zeze just pointed slightly towards the room and then fainted. He had already reached his limit before. Now he was relieved to see that his brother Yi had arrived in time and eliminated all the assassins. His head tilted and he lost consciousness.
Yan Xiaoxiao then remembered that the other party was seriously injured because of protecting Yan Zheng, and quickly took out a few light red pills from her lapel. Those were the pills she had stolen when she came out of the Shen family's alchemy room. She originally planned to use them for herself, but she didn't expect to encounter any obstacles along the way, so she naturally didn't need them. Now they came in handy.
After she hurriedly fed the light red pill to Zeze, she rushed into the room, leaving Mo Yi with a gloomy face behind him. Although Mo Yi had vaguely guessed her identity, seeing that she came back alone, Mo Yi's uneasiness suddenly intensified.
He frowned, picked up Zeze with his hand, and followed her into the room. Just as he reached the threshold, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Mo Yi, who always had a cold face, was in such a mess for the second time since returning to the Xu Ming Realm. Because a few hours ago , he followed the rules of the Nayu people and challenged dozens of his tribesmen who had gained immortality alone. He defeated them one by one and reached some kind of secret agreement with them.
Although the agreement needs to be kept confidential for now and will not take effect until the future, it is the most useful thing Mo Yi can think of to do for Gong Lili. He will try to do everything he failed to do five hundred years ago, because in his heart, protecting her safety is his greatest wish.
Even if there is no return, even if everyone abandons me, I will do it at all costs!
When Mo Yi staggered into the room, Yan Xiaoxiao had already fed the hard-earned "Nirvana Huifeng Pill" to Yan Zheng. At this time, Yan Zheng's face was almost pale and his pulse was very unstable. Yan Xiaoxiao took a long time to get him to swallow the medicine. Now she was standing by nervously, her hands almost twisting the front of her clothes into a twist shape, but Yan Zheng did not react at all after swallowing the medicine. Yan Xiaoxiao was shocked. Could it be that Shen Fei really deceived them?
At this time, Qiongqi was standing by with a nervous look on his face. It looked like he wanted to ask Yan Xiaoxiao about the whereabouts of his master, but he didn't know how to start.
At this time, Tubie was lying on the ground in an extremely miserable state. It seemed that he was knocked unconscious by Qiongqi.
At this moment, Mo Yi, who had followed closely, spoke bluntly: "Where's Lili? Why didn't she come back with you?"
He had learned from Zeze before that Ying Lili and the barrier master named Yan Xiaoxiao went to the Shen family together to get medicine for Yan Zheng. However, now only Yan Xiaoxiao came back with the medicine, and Mo Yi was naturally worried.
Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and only came to her senses when she realized that the other party was asking about the girl who called herself Yao Ji. The next words Yan Xiaoxiao blurted out almost made Mo Yi lose his temper: "She asked me to bring the medicine back to save people first, and she stayed to deal with Shen Fei, the head of the Shen family."
Yan Xiaoxiao was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. She just told the situation directly. Mo Yi's face was getting darker and darker, especially after hearing Yan Xiaoxiao say that Shen Fei actually forced Gong Lili to swallow the Soul-Sealing Pill and stay with him to refine the pill, Mo Yi's violent emotions reached the extreme!
"What did you say? You took her to exchange for medicine?"
Mo Yi narrowed his eyes and uttered these words from between his teeth. The anger between his brows had reached its peak!
"Please don't say such harsh words. She volunteered to exchange herself for the medicine, and I saw that she seemed confident that she could escape danger, so I left first." Yan Xiaoxiao was unwilling to be wronged like this, and she retorted with a stiff neck.
Little did they know that Mo Yi had tried his best to restrain his urge to kill. According to Mo Yi's temper, if he had not wanted Yan Xiaoxiao to lead the way, he would have unsheathed the Dragon-Slaying Roar by now. At this moment, a burst of rapid coughing was heard. Yan Zheng, who was about to die, woke up after a violent cough. His face also became a little red because of the cough. It seemed that Shen Fei did not play tricks, and really gave him the real "Nirvana Huifeng Pill".
"Yan Zheng, you're awake!" Seeing Yan Zheng wake up, Yan Xiaoxiao's tears welled up immediately. She didn't care about Mo Yi's murderous expression. She threw herself on Yan Zheng and was about to say something else, but he grabbed her wrist. Yan Zheng coughed violently and asked anxiously: "You, what did you say just now? You left Master Gonglili alone at the Shen family?"
Obviously, Yan Zheng, who had just woken up, also heard what Yan Xiaoxiao had just said. Although the "Nirvana Huifeng Pill" was very effective and could almost cure any disease, he had just recovered from a serious injury and was obviously still lacking in strength. Yan Zheng held Yan Xiaoxiao's wrist tightly and struggled to get up, but because of his unstable center of gravity, he almost fell off the bed.
Yan Xiaoxiao was also feeling very aggrieved at this moment. She had gone to the Shen family with great difficulty to find medicine for Yan Zheng, but not only did she not get any good results, but he blamed her as soon as he woke up. Immediately, the young lady's temper flared up, and she shook off Yan Zheng's hand with all her strength, shouting rudely: "Don't worry, your chief wizard will not die! When I left the Shen family, I saw the Nether Butterfly of your Shamo clan hovering nearby. I believe that you Shamo people have discovered our tracks a long time ago and followed us all the way. I am afraid that you have already taken her away from the Shen family by now!"
As soon as these words came out, Mo Yi and Yan Zheng gasped at the same time. Discovered by the Nether Butterfly?!
Neither of them was stupid. They immediately realized what this meant. It meant Wusu might find Gonglili before them! It meant their previous actions had all been a failure! They had gone to great lengths to hide, only to be discovered by the Nether Butterfly in the end!
The two of them said hurriedly almost at the same time: "Hurry up and lead the way to the Shen family!"
Although Yan Zheng and Mo Yi were both at the end of their strength, one was at the end of his strength and the other had just recovered from a serious illness, they were both well aware of the seriousness of the situation. If Gong Lili fell into Wu Su's hands like this, with Wu Su's crazy personality, there was no telling what he would do.
Although Yan Xiaoxiao was extremely unhappy, when she saw the two of them looking solemn, she realized that the situation seemed to be bad. She was actually not a bad person, and she had always felt guilty about the fact that Gong Lili sacrificed herself to get medicine for Yan Zheng. She felt that she owed Gong Lili a great favor. When she saw the reactions of the two of them, she realized that she had been too optimistic before.
She paused , stole a glance at Yan Zheng who was struggling to get up from the bed, and asked timidly, "Isn't that Nether Butterfly a creature of your Shamo Clan? Could it possibly harm her?"
Yan Zheng sighed deeply. It was impossible for him to tell her all the secrets of the Shamo Clan. Moreover, considering that she had resorted to this desperate measure just to save him, he could not say anything more. The only thing he could do now was to rush to the Shen family and hope to rescue Lord Gong Lili before Great Elder Wu Su arrived at the Shen family.
Mo Yi directly threw Zeze in his hand to Qiongqi. Now that his identity had been exposed, there was nothing to hide. He asked Qiongqi to transform and threw Zeze and Tubie onto his back. The five of them hurriedly rushed to the Mingyue Valley outside Tangting.
I hope it's not too late! Mo Yi prayed in his heart. At that moment, he didn't even realize that when he heard that Gong Lili might fall into Wu Su's hands, he didn't think about Yao Ji at all. Although he knew that Wu Su would definitely find a way to get Yao Ji back, he didn't have the slightest expectation or joy in his heart. What he had was only infinite worry about Gong Lili.
Since when did his heart gradually become filled with this charming little girl, Yinglili? Perhaps Mo Yi himself did not have the answer.
