Mo Xie and the group was escorted back to the Empire, they were treated even better than the Emperor himself.
Mo Xie didn't have time for such things, hence, he asked: "So, where are my direct disciples and core disciples?"
The guards halted, they cupped their hand and immediately reported: "The Emperor is with them, Lady Fei Lin led the charge to completely eradicate the demons from ever appearing again."
Mo Xie nodded, he asked: "What do you mean?"
"When we managed to defend the Empire, we were relieved, but Lady Fei Lin and the other four decided to everything once and for all."
"They followed the path that those demons are coming from, it's been two weeks now."
Mo Xie hearing this nodded his head: "That, my wife, since it's on the way to our destination, it wouldn't pose any problem, we should go there."
Mo Xie himself felt bewildered, Kara also scattered her children past the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, to track them is as easy as flipping one hand.
With that, Mo Xie already knew that other than the ones he obliterated earlier, there is no presence above Immortal Paragon rank within the continent remaining and only two Immortal Saint ranks, the Emperor and Fei Lin!
"Well, we will be off for now, we need to go somewhere first and will not further bother you with the welcome."
"That..." The guards became a little skeptical about it, after all, this group of people are the ones responsible for turning the tide of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire's fate.
Only five experts arrived, yet, they immediately won the battle on the first day!
He clearly knows that the empire wants to show its gratitude to the Mo Family, but if they are to leave...
Mo Xie smiled: "We have mo important things to do, we can't dally here now."
Hearing him, the guard nodded with a saddened expression, but Shang Ting spoke: "We will be leaving the Mo Family behind, the trade will continue, I hope that our family and the empire can form a greater bond in the future."
Hearing this, the guard smiled, he cupped his fists respectfully: "Then, if I really can't bring you back, I can only offer you my gratitude."
"One of your disciples saved my life and my family, that is something I can't repay forever, I hope that I will be of service in the future."
Shang Ting nodded her head: "Husband, let's go."
Mo Xie nodded at her and ordered Zhuding to move forward.
The guards can only look at Mo Xie and the rest in awe: "To use a draconic beast as a mount, how great will this family ever reach in the future..."
He and the rest of the guards felt awe as they looked at Zhuding's mighty appearance.
Within the entirety of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, only the royal family and the four great clans has a draconic beast as their guardian beast, but they couldn't treat it as a mount!
As Mo Xie and co. moves out of the human territory, there are trails of battle everywhere, a desolate land devoid of life can be seen, completely different from the other side of the land.
"Zhuding, just follow the trail of battle." Mo Xie spoke and sat down.
Zhuding nodded, but before he could dash out, a powerful force started surging and making its way towards them.
"Master..." Zhuding couldn't help but ask.
But Mo Xie remained calm as he sighed to himself, he shook his head: "Wait for her to arrive."
"Her?" Of course, as a cultivator, Shang Ting's hearing is exceptional, she can dismiss anything but hearing this caused her to be curious.
Mo Xie smiled, he looked at Shang Ting lovingly but didn't know what to say: "You've met her, she's the leader of the group I lead out of that cavern."
Shang Ting nodded her head, but she still asked: "And she is...?"
As she finished speaking, the woman arrived, her tanned skin caught everyone's attention.
Shang Ting stood up, she cupped her gentle hands together respectfully: "Miss, I've never had the chance to thank you for saving our lives back then."
Tanya looked at Shang Ting, her demeanor softened as she bowed respectfully: "Big sister, I didn't do anything, and if I have to save you, even sacrificing my life will be worth it."
This caused everyone especially Shang Ting to turn confused, she will sacrifice her life for her?
Why?
Mo Xie made his way to her and spoke: "My wife, actually..."
He couldn't even finish her word as Shang Ting smiled and shook her head: "Give me a moment with her for now."
She started moving towards Tanya, flying towards her, but she glanced back at Mo Xie and spoke lovingly: "I trust your judgement, whatever you do, I know there is a reason for it, so I have never even had a chance to worry."
Mo Xie sighed and didn't know what to say, he merely looked at Shang Ting making her way to Tanya.
"Please follow me." Shang Ting spoke and waved her hand to the closest mountain.
Tanya nodded, she smiled at Shang Ting: "After you, big sister."
Hearing this, Mo Xie and Shang Ting's eyebrows twitched at the same time but for a different reason.
Shang Ting this time changed hi expression and smiled lovingly, held Tanya's hand and led her away.
Meanwhile, as the two have their walk above the top of a mountain, the rest couldn't help but wait, it felt like they are waiting for something to happen, a good event!
Aiqing couldn't help but giggle as she nudged Xuan Yuan: "Uncle, you know, my mom will be back in a while, shouldn't you be bringing my father away now?"
Hearing this, all of those present couldn't help but look at Aiqing's mischievous expression; 'Miss, your father is in trouble, are you sure that it's appropriate to joke like that now?'
But at this moment, everyone thought about it, they really should help Mo Xie escape!
Even though Aiqing was merely suggesting it as a joke, but at this moment, they knew something will happen and they themselves want to drag Mo Xie away!
Although they are far from the two, all of them are cultivators, hence, Shang Ting and Tanya's faces can be seen.
Shang Ting will show remarked expressions, surprise, sadness, pity, and so on as the two talks, while Tanya merely displays her saddened laugh and thorned expression.
After an hour or so, the two descends from the top and made their way to regroup with the others.
As Shang Ting arrived, everyone looked at Mo Xie and her.
Shang Ting couldn't help but sigh as she looked at her husband with a smile.
