Chapter 129 The Eyes of Departure
Although Ye Qing'an's spiritual power is not strong now and his Xuanling Technique is not yet fully mastered, he had practiced assassination techniques and close combat in his previous life, so his five senses are very sensitive and his reaction speed is also unparalleled.
Although constrained by this current body, he hadn't completely forgotten what he knew before, and managed to dodge the long whip's attack.
Ye Qing'an took a few steps back and saw that the person holding the whip was dressed in black, almost entirely covered in black night clothes, with only his eyes showing.
However, just by looking at those eyes, Ye Qing'an could tell that this was not Yi Moxu.
If it's not Yi Moxu, then who is it?
Is he one of Yi Moxu's men? Or an assassin?
However, since Xu Mo is Yi Moxu, he must have his own power and would never allow the assassin to enter the courtyard so easily.
If it's Yi Moxu's person...
The man in black charged at Ye Qing'an again, but Ye Qing'an quickly dodged, shouting, "I want to see Yi Moxu!"
The man in black shifted slightly, but his movements did not slow down. He began to gather energy in his other hand, condensing it into a fireball, which he threw straight at Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an was startled. The fireball possessed immense spiritual power, affecting everything within several meters. Even though it was some distance away from her, Ye Qing'an could already feel a scorching heat.
Ye Qing'an only felt a white shadow flash before her eyes, but it was Jiu Xiao who pounced on her and pushed her away.
Ye Qing'an barely managed to stand up, realizing that her assassination skills and martial arts alone were not enough to resist the Xuanling Technique.
"Do you know who I am? If you hurt me today, believe me, your master will take your life tomorrow."
The man in black narrowed his eyes but remained silent.
Just as the two were facing off, another person came out of the house and said, "Stop."
Ye Qing'an looked up and saw that the person's face was also covered with a silver mask, but it was still not Yi Moxu.
The commotion had already been so great that everyone else in the room had noticed, but Yi Moxu still hadn't appeared.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Where's Xu Mo?"
The man in the silver mask smiled slightly: "My master has important business to attend to today and is not here. Please go back first, Miss Ye. He will come to see you tomorrow when he has time."
Is something urgent?
Ye Qing'an glanced at the man in the silver mask, but he did not believe his excuse.
There are so many people in this courtyard today, and the security is tight. The person in the silver mask seems to be of high status. Since they are all here, Yi Moxu is most likely here as well.
She just didn't know what had happened that prevented Yi Moxu from coming to see her.
Ye Qing'an didn't necessarily want to see Yi Moxu today. She had no power at the moment, and her Xuanling Technique was not yet complete. She didn't want to confront these people head-on. So she just nodded and said, "Okay, then please pass on a message for me. Tell him that I need to see him. If he has time, he can come and see me."
"Miss Ye, rest assured, I will definitely convey your message."
Ye Qing'an nodded, took a few steps back, and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a very painful groan from inside the room, along with some other noises, as if something had collapsed.
Ye Qing'an stopped abruptly. She was absolutely certain that the muffled groan was Yi Moxu's voice.
Yimo Xu?
Why would such a sound be made?
Could it be that these aren't his men? Or are they assassins?
Yi Moxu has fallen into their hands?
Ye Qing'an glanced at the house from which the sound came, and immediately noticed that the two people were looking at her with very unfriendly eyes.
Ye Qing'an then took Jiu Xiao and left.
Not far away, Ye Qing'an looked at Jiu Xiao and said, "Shrink yourself up a bit, then go back and see what's going on with Xu Mo."
"If no one is watching, then summon me when the opportunity arises."
Jiuxiao shook his head even more vigorously: "Those people don't look like they're easy to mess with. Master, you haven't been cultivating properly, and you can't even beat them. How could I possibly be their match? If they find out, then I'll really be turned into braised snake..."
Ye Qing'an squinted at Jiu Xiao, the threat in her eyes obvious.
"Fine... fine then." Jiu Xiao sighed. Compared to those two people, his master was still the one he couldn't afford to offend.
After all, those two people might only have a chance of finding him, but his master held his life in his hands.
It's really...too hard for him.
Life is tough.
Jiuxiao shrunk himself to the size of a little finger, and then quickly disappeared from the spot.
Ye Qing'an also found a convenient place to hide and concealed herself.
After waiting for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ye Qing'an finally saw a summoning circle appear in front of her.
Ye Qing'an stepped into the summoning circle and instantly appeared in a room.
The lights were on in the room, but as I looked at the whole room and the situation inside, I couldn't help but pause in surprise.
This place is described as a room, but it's completely empty. The windows are sealed up and chained, and the door is also locked with a chain...
Yi Moxu was in this room, his whole body bound with iron chains about the thickness of an arm. The iron chains gleamed with a cold light and did not seem to be made of ordinary materials.
Even so, the iron chain was worn in several places.
Yi Moxu also had multiple wounds on his body, and his clothes were somewhat disheveled, revealing his collarbone. Above his collarbone was a bluish-purple color from being rubbed by iron chains, which looked quite frightening.
What's going on here?
Ye Qing'an frowned slightly, took a step towards Yi Moxu, and then saw Yi Moxu suddenly open his eyes...
Ye Qing'an suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking at Yi Moxu in disbelief. Yi Moxu's heterochromatic eyes were now blood red, and it seemed as if a ball of fire was burning within them.
Ye Qing'an took two steps back.
This is……
Li Huo's Eyes?
Although Ye Qing'an had never actually seen the Li Huo Eye, she had heard many rumors about it.
Legend has it that those who possess the Eyes of Blazing Fire have endured the pain of having their bones and tendons severed, forcibly erasing their original power, then forcibly reversing the flow of their meridians, and even changing their appearance to cultivate the Blazing Fire Technique anew.
One must reach the ninth level of the Fire Separation Technique to cultivate the Fire Separation Eyes.
However, what the Fire Eyes meant was not a supreme technique, but only pain.
The Fiery Eyes appear once a month. When they do, those who possess them will once again experience the pain of broken bones and reversed meridians...
Until death.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. She had also wondered why Ye Qinghao hadn't recognized Xu Mo, even though he wasn't disguised.
She had specifically inquired about it and found that Yi Moxu did not have heterochromia, so why did Xu Mo now have a pair of heterochromia?
But she never expected that Yi Moxu would actually cultivate the Fire Separation Technique.
