Chapter 748: Chapter 747 Passage
Carrying a heart filled with unease, Mo Li still stood his ground at the entrance of the transmission channel, waiting quietly.
For several consecutive days, people had been leaving every day.
Those who left had all received ssages from their respective aristocratic families or sects.
Mo Li did not ask why these people were leaving; the answer was obvious.
The great war of the Hidden Sect was about to erupt, and the Eight Great Forces had already split into two factions. The various second and third-tier aristocratic families and minor alliances had also chosen sides and joined the fray.
Compared to the year when the Taoist sects were destroyed, this war was fatal for the Hidden Sect World, as it would ensh all forces. Mo Li had already foreseen a future where the Hidden Sect World was riddled with countless wounds, with living beings suffering imnsely.
The wars of martial artists had far-reaching negative effects.
The vendettas fueled by blood feuds would persist for generations, leading to incessant small-scale conflicts and wars throughout the Cultivation World.
For the cultivation civilization, this was extrely detrintal.
However, Mo Li felt powerless to change any of it; after all, he was a man of little influence.
It was already a stroke of luck that he and the Mo Family were not drawn into the conflict.
That afternoon, Mo Li opened his eyes from a quiet ditation session.
He looked towards the east and then stood up with a solemn expression, walking over to et whoever was coming from that direction.
The upright individuals who were stationed there with him had also sensed sothing and got up to follow, with one asking what had happened.
Mo Li spoke in a deep voice, "A strong figure is approaching."
The guardians beca vigilant.
Their duty was to guard this place and not allow mbers of the Hidden Sect to leave easily, so as not to cause conflict between the Hidden Sect and the Divine Continent Country.
Now that the situation in the Hidden Sect was unstable, the strong figure arriving at the transmission channel—did they intend to leave the Hidden Sect for the Divine Continent?
A mont later, a look of surprise appeared on Mo Li’s face.
His Divine Thought had caught sight of a familiar figure, and shockingly, there was a group of more than a hundred people following behind him.
Soon after, he ’saw’ a woman he hadn’t expected to be with the young man, and he was greatly surprised. How could she be with this lad?
Before long, the group approached.
The person in the lead was Yang Fei, the Taoist Inheritor once pursued by various forces of the Hidden Sect, and with him was the Poison Sect’s Sacred Maiden, known as Immortal Yan.
Of course, Mo Li knew that her real na was not Immortal Yan but Helian Rong. She was the daughter of Helian Zhan, a princess of the Hidden Sect World in her own right, backed not only by Helian Zhan and Ouyang He but also the imnse support of Qingtian Sect and Poison Sect.
Among her generation, none had a stronger background than she.
"Senior Mo Li, we et again," Helian Rong was the first to speak.
Seeing Mo Li from afar, accompanied by a few guarded individuals, she approached with a smile, clasping her hands in salute and cheerfully addressing him as senior.
Mo Li quickly responded, "So, it’s Aunt Helian. What brings you here..."
He purposefully trailed off his question, pausing midsentence.
Helian Rong said, "My father and master instructed
to escort these people out of the Hidden Sect along with Young Master Yang."
As she spoke, she playfully winked and looked at Mo Li, asking, "Didn’t my master pass through here?"
Mo Li nodded and said, "He suddenly returned from the outside world a few days ago, giving
quite a fright."
Upon hearing this, Helian Rong said, "In that case, Senior Mo Li, you must know about so of the events occurring in the outside world, right?"
Mo Li nodded, not concealing anything, and sighed, "The world is in chaos, and the suffering of living beings is inevitable."
Helian Rong expressed regret, "Yes, senior, always a man of valor, you wouldn’t want to see both the Hidden Sect World and Divine Continent suffer, and then be invaded by foreign races, would you?"
Mo Li nodded without hesitation, his eyes emitting two sharp beams, "I, Mo Li, am too insignificant to prevent internal clan wars, but if foreign tribes think to invade the Divine Continent as they did a hundred years ago and plunder the descendants of Yanhuang, even if it costs
my life, I will do my utmost to stop them."
Helian Rong once again bowed in salute, saying, "Your nobility is admirable, senior."
Mo Li gestured with his hand, "There’s no need to praise
like that. Since ancient tis, even though the Hidden Sect has stood above worldly matters, all of its people carry on the bloodline of Yanhuang. We and the people of the Divine Continent are of the sa lineage; the principle of mutual dependence is sothing we all should understand."
Helian Rong nodded and said, "Senior is absolutely right. However, currently so people are ambitious and determined to unite the world under their rule, starting devastating wars to achieve this. Senior must understand that these internal conflicts will severely weaken our clan’s strength. No matter who erges victoriously in the future, our overall might will be diminished. How will we then face foreign invasions?"
Mo Li and those around him deeply agreed and nodded in unison.
Helian Rong continued, "That is why we must now strive to minimize the losses of the internal conflict."
A glint of sharpness flashed in Mo Li’s eyes as he asked, "Do you have a way?"
But then he shook his head.
No one could change the current situation.
Not Helian Zhan, Wang Chunyang, nor Ouyang He, and how could a re young girl?
Yet, Helian Rong nodded resolutely and said, "Please, senior, do not stop these people from leaving. They belong to the Duanmu Family, and they are also discontented with the Duanmu Family’s collusion with the Zhuge family to instigate a war within the Hidden Sect. They wish to break away from the Duanmu Family and head to the Divine Continent to aid in its reunification to the best of their modest ability."
Mo Li’s gaze swept toward the people behind Helian Rong and recognized several elders from the Duanmu Family.
For Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Cheng, Mo Li was quite familiar with them. Seeing them now, he gave a fist salute to the two, devoid of any arrogance that might befit a powerful being of the Divine Travel Realm.
Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Cheng (Xu Jian) hurriedly returned the salute.
"Won’t so many people going out cause panic in the outside world and aggravate the tension between the Divine Continent and the Hidden Sect?" Mo Li asked.
Helian Rong smiled at this and stepped aside.
Yang Fei stepped forward, saluting Mo Li, "I’ve seen senior before. You should know who I am. If I lead them out, there surely won’t be any issues. Moreover, I will have two mbers of the Military Departnt stationed here to report in advance.
After sending these people out, I must rush to the Langya Wang Family, hoping to be of so help."
Mo Li felt a stir in his heart at these words and nodded, "In that case, have the personnel from the Military Departnt go out and inform them."
"Thank you."
Yang Fei saluted with his fist, then turned to give a look to Xu Jian and Wang Lei, signaling them to proceed with caution and vigilance. Afterward, he sprinted toward the two mbers of the Military Departnt near the portal.
The two experts from the Military Departnt stationed there recognized Yang Fei and imdiately saluted him.
Yang Fei briefed them on the situation, and both n nodded. One of them imdiately stepped through the teleportation portal and left.
After only three minutes, the person returned, telling Yang Fei, "Permission has been granted; these people may leave."
Yang Fei couldn’t help but ask, "Was it your minister who permitted this?"
The Military Departnt expert glanced at Yang Fei and slowly shook his head, "It was Mo Yinpeng who agreed."
"Where is your Minister Qin?" Yang Fei asked.
He hadn’t been in contact with Qin Yanyang since their phone conversation days ago, and now, separated by only a teleportation portal, he felt an urge to go out and et him imdiately.
"I haven’t seen him," the man answered honestly.
He didn’t know whether Qin Yanyang was still in command outside since he and his colleague had been stationed in the Hidden Sect World for several months, unaware of the outside events.
Yang Fei pondered briefly, then said, "Let’s send these people out first."
He hadn’t planned on leaving, but considering that Tong Yunshu was also going out and would et Qin Yanyang, he wondered if Qin Yanyang would give Tong Yunshu any trouble.
Besides, so many from the Duanmu Family were leaving all at once. Although most of them had a low Cultivation Realm and wouldn’t pose a significant threat to the Military Departnt, it would be safer for him to accompany them to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or conflicts.
Following Yang Fei’s command, the people from the Duanmu Family filed out one by one, leaving behind the familiar world where they were born and raised.
