Qin Moyu covered his face, regretting that he shouldn't have listened to this gossip.
Nan Xun: "Does Your Excellency truly intend to fight to the death?"
"Shameless thief, prepare to die!" Fen Tian was burning with rage and charged towards Nan Xun with unstoppable momentum.
Nan Xun's expression darkened slightly. He dodged Fen Tian's attack by sidestepping, and with his right hand, he drew his sword and thrust it at Fen Tian with a mysterious movement.
Fen Tian was surprised that after only a few days apart, Nan Xun, who had barely managed to withstand one of his attacks, now had the strength to retaliate. He was astonished by Nan Xun's talent, but the difference in strength was obvious, and he didn't take Nan Xun's counterattack seriously at all. If he hadn't been careless with Liu Yiyi before, he wouldn't have let that thing fall into Nan Xun's hands.
The intense sword energy affected even the walls and floor of the room, sending wood chips flying as Qin Moyu was surrounded by Fen Tian's men.
"I'm just an innocent passerby, you know—" Qin Moyu shouted, but the other party wouldn't listen to him at all, and was only focused on stabbing Qin Moyu to death.
"So annoying..." Qin Moyu clicked his tongue and threw out spells like they were free. Although he looked disheveled jumping around, the opponent's attacks didn't hurt Qin Moyu at all.
The opposing side was also puzzled. Qin Moyu looked gentle and weak, yet she could always accurately dodge their attacks. She didn't seem like a Foundation Establishment cultivator at all, but the spells she used were indeed Foundation Establishment level.
"Bang--"
With a single sword strike, Fen Tian sent Nan Xun flying. Nan Xun crashed heavily to the floor, his ears ringing, blood flowing from his forehead, and his vision turning crimson.
Fen Tian, sword in hand, walked toward Nan Xun and said in a cold voice, "Hand over the item, and I'll give you a quick death."
Nanxun did not respond.
"Not going to talk? I have plenty of ways to make you talk." Fen Tian sneered and reached out to grab Nan Xun.
Just a second before Fen Tian met Nan Xun, Nan Xun suddenly grabbed his hand. The look in his eyes was completely different from before, as if he had become a different person. At the same time, his aura rose steadily, reaching a level that frightened Fen Tian in the blink of an eye.
Nanxun easily shook off Fentian and slowly stood up.
Qin Moyu glanced at it briefly and guessed that it was Nan Xun's master, Zhu Qingyun, who had been residing in Nan Xun's body in soul form, who had awakened.
In the original novel, Zhu Qingyun can indeed possess the male protagonist. Although there is a time limit, she often saves the male protagonist from life and death, which can be said to be the male protagonist's biggest cheat in the early stages.
Fen Tian was extremely wary of the suddenly awakened "Nan Xun". After being shaken off, he charged forward again without saying a word, but "Nan Xun" easily caught him and even slapped Fen Tian away. He then lightly touched the ground with his toes and tried to escape through the window.
Fen Tian had no time to react and could only watch Nan Xun's retreating figure with endless regret in his heart.
Just when everyone thought "Nanxun" was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and jumped back into the house, his expression solemn.
A flying sword floated by the window, and a tall man stood on the narrow blade. He was dressed in a black outfit and had white jade at his waist. Just standing there was enough to inspire awe. It was Mo Yuan, whom Qin Moyu had seen before.
"Can't even handle this small matter, you're useless." Mo Yuan glanced coldly at Fen Tian. Fen Tian was unwilling but dared not refute, so he could only grit his teeth and stand up to glare angrily at Nan Xun.
—This person is very strong.
Zhu Qingyun knew this clearly. If he had given it his all, he might have been able to fight back. But Nan Xun's body was severely overdrawn. If he didn't get treatment soon, he was afraid that even he himself would be beyond saving.
Only...
Zhu Qingyun took out a storage bag embroidered with the character "焚" from her sleeve and waved it in the air: "This is what you wanted, right?"
When Fentian saw the bag, his eyes lit up, and he stared at it intently, afraid that the bag would disappear again.
"Let's make a deal. Let me go, and you can have the bag." Zhu Qingyun stared intently at Mo Yuan.
"Noisy." Mo Yuan scoffed, completely ignoring Zhu Qingyun's suggestion, while Fen Tian rushed forward to snatch the bag back.
"Since we can't reason with him, then let's not talk about it anymore—" Zhu Qingyun suddenly threw the bag away, and Fen Tian instinctively reached out to catch it.
"We've been tricked!" Zhu Qingyun smirked. The talisman hidden behind the bag activated instantly, bursting forth with a fierce red light in the darkness. With a loud bang, Fen Tian screamed as he was blasted away.
Mo Yuan had anticipated that the other party would struggle in their death throes, but he hadn't expected them to be so resolute. He knew that such a close explosion would also be painful for the other party. The moment the talisman was activated, he flew to Qin Moyu's side and narrowly blocked the explosion.
Everything happened too fast. Qin Moyu only had time to instantly raise his spiritual energy for protection, but it was unlikely to be enough. He could only try to find some solace in the thought that this way he could test the effects of the pills he had been practicing these past few days.
Qin Moyu was prepared to be thrown back by the explosion, but to her surprise, she was unharmed when the smoke cleared, as someone had shielded her from the blast.
Why did the villains come over?
Qin Moyu looked at the person in front of her in surprise, but the other person left without saying a word, showing no intention of explaining.
Qin Moyu's room was on the second floor. The room was completely destroyed by the explosion. The explosion brought out everyone else who had been pretending to be dead, even if they hadn't heard the fighting. More and more people gathered downstairs.
Despite his thick skin and tough flesh, Fen Tian was only injured in one eye at the epicenter of the explosion. His storage bag was destroyed, and he didn't care about the spirit stones and herbs scattered all over the ground. He found a token in the ruins and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fen Tian's men were all dead, and Nan Xun was nowhere to be found. Fen Tian limped over to Mo Yuan's side, saw Qin Mo Yu standing in the corner, and whispered to Mo Yuan, "I'll go kill him."
Qin Moyu heard it, but pretended not to know anything and stood there, looking as if she had been terrified by the explosion.
"Walk."
"But……"
Mo Yuan said impatiently, "If you say another word, you're not going back."
Faced with Mo Yuan's overwhelming strength, Fen Tian resigned himself to his fate and shut his mouth. Before leaving, he glared at Qin Moyu with hatred. If Mo Yuan hadn't forbade him, he would have killed this kid who saw his pathetic state long ago.
Seeing that the two of them had left, Qin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he could defeat Fen Tian, he would inevitably expose the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, and then he would face Mo Yuan's pursuit.
"Damn it, how am I supposed to sleep here?" Qin Moyu looked at the messy room, touched his nose, and then comfortably put the scattered treasures into his pocket.
"Mo Yu!"
Qin Moyu turned around upon hearing the sound.
