Chapter 366 The Elder Trusted Me Once
Leng Yuexin looked at him.
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple will try to deceive it."
Leng Yuexin remained silent for a moment.
"cheat?"
Mo Chengyue was very serious.
"There are methods to dealing with inanimate objects."
After he finished speaking, he extracted a wisp of Yin-Yang True Essence from the array plate and deliberately scattered it.
That wisp of true essence swayed and drifted, like a lost little fish, approaching the fissure in the earth.
Leng Yuexin's brow twitched slightly as she watched.
She could tell, of course, that Mo Chengyue was deliberately revealing a flaw.
The gray mark did indeed react.
It first contracts slightly.
Then, it silently extended a wisp, wrapping around that strand of Yin-Yang True Essence.
Mo Chengyue sneered inwardly.
It actually took the bait.
The filthy things in the cultivation world are all somewhat greedy.
The moment the gray mark touched the true essence, Mo Chengyue twisted his wrist.
The black and white energy within the array plate suddenly converged.
That seemingly scattered wisp of true essence instantly transformed into a fine lock, fastening the gray mark.
Mo Chengyue called out in a low voice, "Elder!"
Leng Yuexin has already made her move.
This time, she did not use the Ice Soul Severing Sword.
Instead, he condensed the chill into an extremely thin ice needle and pierced it through the gap created by Mo Chengyue.
Ice needles are inserted into the veins.
Silently.
The gray mark twisted violently, struggling wildly like a living thing.
The flames inside the mine suddenly surged.
The entire grotto shook again.
Mo Chengyue groaned, blood trickling from his fingertips.
Leng Yuexin's face turned cold, and she placed her other hand on his shoulder.
Don't force yourself to be strong.
Mo Chengyue gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, you've spoken too late."
"I'm already pushing myself to the limit."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Withdraw."
Mo Chengyue said, "If we retreat now, it will burrow back in."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "I will kill it."
Mo Chengyue said, "Wait another half a breath."
Leng Yuexin's eyes darkened.
"Mo Chengyue".
Mo Chengyue did not look up.
"Elder, trust me this once."
Leng Yuexin's fingers tightened slightly on his shoulder.
After a moment, she did not speak again.
Mo Chengyue knew very well what was going on.
This half-breath is deadly.
If he makes a wrong judgment now, the mine will explode.
Leng Yuexin may not necessarily be in trouble.
He will most likely become a brief account of an accident in the history of the Cold Vein Mine.
But most of the gray marks had already been drawn out.
No refunds.
If they retreat, it will be even harder to catch them next time.
Mo Chengyue's eyes suddenly brightened with a black and white aura.
"come out!"
The battle flags were pressed down simultaneously.
The ash mark was finally forcibly dragged away from the fissure in the ground.
Cold moonlight fell from her fingertips like frost.
That shot was incredibly accurate.
The moment the gray mark was severed, Mo Chengyue immediately reversed his stance, diverting the chaotic hot and cold currents within the mine shaft.
The fire subsided.
The coldness returned to its source.
The deathly aura was sealed by the icy chill into a gray-white frost bead.
The grotto was quiet.
This time, it was truly quiet.
Even the low rumbling from deep within the mine shaft subsided, like a ferocious beast whose neck had been held down finally lying back in its den.
Mo Chengyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Then everything went black.
Leng Yuexin helped him up.
Her hands moved even faster than before.
Mo Chengyue leaned against her arm, feeling that his posture was somewhat out of character for someone on duty at the Scripture Pavilion.
"Elder."
Leng Yuexin lowered her eyes.
"explain."
Mo Chengyue said weakly, "If the disciples outside ask, could you say that I was overexerted by the formation, and not that my legs were weak?"
Leng Yuexin looked at him.
"You still care about this?"
Mo Chengyue said, "In the martial arts world, reputation is very important."
Leng Yuexin said coldly, "Shut up."
Mo Chengyue listened to the advice and closed his eyes.
I just really don't have the energy to talk anymore.
Leng Yuexin put the frost bead into another jade box, and then pulled Qin Shuanglian's frozen body behind her.
Then, she helped Mo Chengyue walk out.
Mo Chengyue said in a low voice, "Elder, I can walk by myself."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "You almost fell into the mine hole just now."
Mo Chengyue said, "It almost doesn't count."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "My word is law."
Mo Chengyue promptly shut up.
The boss has the final say.
At the entrance to the mine, Xu Shan and the others were waiting anxiously.
The array gate suddenly lit up.
Leng Yuexin led Mo Chengyue out.
She supported Mo Chengyue with one hand and held the frozen Qin Shuanglian's hand with the other.
A chill spread behind me, like a piece of lingering snow being dragged out from the ground.
Everyone was initially delighted.
Then all eyes fell on Mo Chengyue.
Xu Shan's expression changed.
"Senior Brother Mo is injured?"
Mo Chengyue tried his best to stand up straight.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury."
A disciple standing nearby, noticing the still-damp blood at the corner of his mouth, whispered, "A minor injury like that can cause him to vomit so much blood?"
Another person said, "Perhaps Senior Brother Mo is just being modest."
Xu Shan immediately scolded, "Don't say another word."
Leng Yuexin said calmly, "The mine eye is stable."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Some people almost sat down on the ground.
"Is it a sure thing?"
"Is there any hope for the herb field?"
"The mine doesn't need to be sealed off anymore?"
Xu Shan quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Thank you, Elder Leng!"
"If the elder hadn't come in person, this place would probably have already turned into a disaster."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "This is not a natural disaster."
Xu Shan's expression hardened.
"Man-made?"
Leng Yue thought to herself, "The external enemy is setting a trap, using the cold veins and the earth's fire to gain momentum."
Xu Shan's face was grim.
"My subordinate failed to supervise me."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "It's none of your business."
Xu Shan dared not relax.
"And this person in the ice..."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Take him back to the sect for interrogation."
Only then did everyone notice Qin Shuanglian.
The woman in the ice was extremely beautiful.
Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and beautiful, and her lips were pale. Even though they were sealed up, she still had an eerie sense of fragility.
A young disciple couldn't help but take a second look.
Then I felt a chill on my neck.
Leng Yuexin's gaze had already swept over them.
The disciple immediately lowered his head.
"This disciple saw nothing."
Mo Chengyue sighed inwardly.
young people.
When faced with beauty, one should maintain professional ethics in one's eyes.
Especially when the beautiful woman was being dragged along by the Nascent Soul Elder.
Even taking one extra look could be considered a work-related injury.
Xu Shan said, "Elder, shall I arrange for someone to escort you?"
Leng Yue thought to herself, "No need."
Xu Shan hesitated.
"What happened next at that mine..."
Leng Yuexin looked at Mo Chengyue.
Mo Chengyue's heart skipped a beat.
Don't look at me.
I'm just a temporary worker who just coughed up blood.
Leng Yue thought to herself, "He said."
Xu Shan immediately looked at Mo Chengyue, his attitude becoming much more respectful than before.
"Senior Brother Mo, please give me some pointers."
Mo Chengyue really wanted to say he dared not.
But since Leng Yuexin has already called him out, it would be impolite for him to pretend to be dead.
He coughed.
"The mine is temporarily stabilized, but don't rush to remove the sealing array."
Xu Shan nodded.
"how long?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Wait until the earth fire recedes and the cold energy returns to its source before withdrawing the outer layer."
Xu Shan frowned.
How do I determine this?
Mo Chengyue thought for a moment, then took out a few small array nails and handed them over.
"Place them on both sides of the mine entrance."
"If the surface of the array nails only has frost on it and does not emit a reddish light, it indicates that the cold energy is excessive."
"If it only emits a reddish light and does not condense into frost, it indicates that the earth's fire is excessive."
"If the frost and red markings fade, it'll be about right."
Xu Shan carefully accepted it.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Mo."
A disciple nearby couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Mo even knows about mine drilling?"
Mo Chengyue replied, "I know a little."
The disciple looked on with admiration.
"Senior Brother Mo is really amazing."
Mo Chengyue immediately became alert.
"Don't spread it."
The disciple was stunned.
"what?"
Mo Chengyue said seriously, "If word gets out, I'll have a lot more work to do."
Xu Shan: "..."
Several disciples stationed there finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Leng Yuexin glanced at him.
"He's promising."
Mo Chengyue said in a low voice, "Elder, besides saving our lives, doing less work is also a form of cultivation."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Nonsense."
Mo Chengyue said, "But it's practical."
Leng Yuexin did not refute.
Xu Shan felt more and more that this Senior Brother Mo was not simple.
To be able to speak like that in front of Elder Leng means you haven't been frozen into an ice sculpture yet.
This is no ordinary skill.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the rumors from the sect were unreliable.
Who said this person is just a guard at the library?
Can the guards at the library adjust the balance of the mine shaft at will?
How can someone live and chatter while standing next to a Nascent Soul Elder?
Xu Shan secretly made a mental note of it.
When you see this Senior Brother Mo in the future, you must be very composed.
Don't be too enthusiastic.
Don't be too indifferent either.
Enthusiasm makes one appear sociable.
Being indifferent will make you look like you're asking for trouble.
Finding the right balance is a true test of a cultivator's lifespan.
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Xu Shan."
Xu Shan immediately snapped out of his daze.
"Your subordinate is here."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Keep the news under wraps."
Xu Shan remained solemn.
"Understood."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Today's events were only reported as a mine shaft instability, which I have already dealt with."
Xu Shan said, "What about the foreign enemy..."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "The Punishment Hall will investigate."
Xu Shan lowered his head.
"Yes."
Leng Yuexin then looked at the disciples around her.
"If anyone spreads this message..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
But at the same time, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
It's more terrifying than saying it.
The disciples all replied in unison, "We dare not!"
