Mo Hua snorted coldly, "Don't even think about it!"
Aunt Xue also said in a deep voice, "The elders of the Bai Family are nearby, so please, Saint Heir, do as you see fit."
The Saint Heir smiled slyly, "Don't act as if I don't know, the Nether Heavenly Mechanism Seal obscures the heavenly secret and locks cause and effect, isolating this place from the external world for a short duration."
"Your Bai Family doesn't know, and those fools from the Taoist Court are even more clueless."
Aunt Xue felt a chill in her heart, her face as still as water.
As expected, everything had been calculated perfectly.
The Saint Heir did not wish to waste any more words either, and with a casual wave of his hand, a few Golden Core Demon Cultivators behind him dashed out like ghosts, moving towards Mo Hua to capture him.
The one in front was a seductively charming female cultivator with sharp fangs and a bewitching and elusive movement technique. In just a few breaths, she closed in on Mo Hua and the others.
She emanated a strong and pungent scent of rouge and powder.
Aunt Xue tensed up, gritting her teeth and focusing her gaze.
Her eyes shimmered with a dance of seven-colored rays.
The Demon Path female cultivator locked eyes with Aunt Xue and froze for a moment, then, with the operation of her evil power, she grinned, her eyes turning red, showing sinuous blood vessels.
The radiance in Aunt Xue's eyes faded, and she stumbled back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The Demon Path female cultivator chuckled and said, "You dare use an illusion technique at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage against a Golden Core? Aren't you afraid of backlash?"
Aunt Xue's face turned deathly pale, but she also looked desperate.
Between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core lies a vast difference in realms; even if her illusion technique was exquisite, it would not make her a match.
The remaining Golden Core Demon Cultivators charged at Mo Hua but were blocked by Bai Zisheng who brandished a long spear.
Yet Bai Zisheng, still only at Qi Refinement, held the imposing spear which was effortlessly pinched by two fingers of a Demon Cultivator.
Then, with a light flick, the spear was sent flying.
Undeterred, Bai Zisheng charged forward with empty hands, determined not to let them capture Mo Hua.
The few Golden Core Demon Cultivators looked disdainful, but they didn't dare to strike Bai Zisheng for fear of triggering the special Eternal Life Rune, so they could only humor him in this charade.
The charming female cultivator took the opportunity to approach, extending a pale hand with five crimson, elongated nails, reaching for Mo Hua.
The charming female cultivator was at Golden Core, while Mo Hua was only at Qi Refinement.
No matter how exquisite his Water Passing Step, he couldn't dodge it.
Just then, Bai Zixi flashed in front of Mo Hua, blocking him.
The female cultivator's expression condensed, and with a "tsk," she forcibly halted her assault, her crimson nails stopping short in front of Bai Zixi.
Mo Hua was taken aback, his feelings complex as he muttered.
Bai Zixi simply said, "I am your sister! I promised Master I would take good care of you!"
The charming female cultivator scoffed contemptuously.
The Saint Heir showed a look of surprise.
The scene unfolding before him greatly exceeded his expectations.
In his original plan, as the Saint Heir accompanied by more than a dozen Golden Core Great Demon Cultivators, even if the Bai siblings would not flee in trepidation, at least they would be wary enough to hand over their junior brother...
These two hailed from a Great Clan.
And this 'Mo' kid, inconspicuous and likely of humble origin, perhaps just a Loose Cultivator picked up by Mr. Zhuang from some remote corner.
The Bai siblings would surely not risk much to protect this kid.
But now, he realized he was wrong...
To stand against him, the Saint Heir, and face off against more than a dozen Golden Core Demon Cultivators in direct confrontation, were they indeed willing to defend this "junior brother"?
Was this kid really that important?
The Saint Heir became interested, chuckling, "Just don't kill them. If they don't sustain fatal injuries, it won't trigger the 'Eternal Life Rune.'
"Subdue them and bring that kid over to me!"
"I want to see just what is so extraordinary about this kid."
A few more Golden Core Demon Cultivators from the Saint Heir's side took action, closing in on Mo Hua.
The charming female cultivator also cracked a gruesome smile, reaching for Bai Zixi.
Bai Zixi's gaze intensified, and she drew a golden long sword from her hand. With each swing, the sword's light was clear and bright, mingled with snow-white flames.
The charming female cultivator's eyelid twitched, and she thought in shock, "This swordsmanship..."
But after observing for a while, she calmed down, "Good, it's only Qi Refinement..."
She focused, blood Qi emanating from her claws, dissolving Bai Zixi's golden and white fiery swordsmanship, and then, bypassing Bai Zixi, she reached towards Mo Hua right behind her.
At that moment, Bai Zixi clenched her teeth, inverted the sword tip to point at her own heart meridian.
This was the posture of someone intending to commit suicide.
The charming female cultivator paused, halting her motion.
The distant Saint Heir was taken aback, then chuckled, "Have you gone mad, girl?" Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
But gradually, as he came to understand, he couldn't help but stop laughing.
Not just the Saint Heir, the other Golden Core Demon Cultivators also came to a realization, faces revealing shock.
The smile on the Saint Heir's face faded, his expression turned serious, saying:
You wouldn't... be thinking of triggering the "Eternal Life Rune" yourself, would you?
Standing before Mo Hua, Bai Zixi's cold gaze conveyed, "Whoever touches him will have to die!"
The Saint Heir stood shocked for a long time, before he finally slowly shook his head and laughed in disbelief, "I don't believe it..."
"How precious is the Eternal Life Rune, I don't believe you'd be willing to trigger it yourself..."
"As a disciple from a Noble Clan, what does it mean to lose your Eternal Life Rune? I think you know better than I do..."
"Trigger the Eternal Life Rune yourself?"
"I don't believe it..."
The Saint Heir's gaze turned icy as he commanded, "Capture that kid!"
A few Golden Core Demon Cultivators hesitated for a moment but still continued to reach for Mo Hua.
Bai Zixi's luminous gaze revealed a hint of determination and resoluteness.
Seeing this look, the Saint Heir instantly understood and was instantly filled with an unbelievable shock and fear:
