Thatâs Feng Zhe? Even though Mo Wuji was completely frozen, he was able to quickly discern who that was. That slightly pudgy fella was Feng Zhe.
Mo Wuji soon came to an understanding. He wasnât the only one unwilling to leave the Scholarâs Heart behind, the Great Evolution Sectâs Feng Zhe was the same. However, when everyone was here, he acted nonchalant, and even as though he couldnât wait to get out of here.
Now that everyone had left, he sneakily returned. Mo Wuji gave up on using his spiritual will to communicate with Feng Zhe. If it was Xing Huang, then maybe he might do that.
But since it was Feng Zhe, he definitely couldnât do it. The moment Feng Zhe knew he was here, Feng Zhe would immediately eliminate him to shut his mouth.
If Feng Zhe was confident that he could extract the Scholarâs Heart, then he definitely didnât want others to know that the one who took the Scholarâs Heart away was him.
Mo Wuji sighed but he didnât retract his spiritual will. If he had to die, he would rather freeze to death then get killed by Feng Zhe.
In less than half an incenseâs time, Mo Wuji saw another figure dashing by.
It had a head full of brown hair. Mo Wuji only needed a single sweep to identify it as the Heaven Demon Sectâs Fang Zhentian.
Indeed, Fang Zhentian would not come here for any other reason, he must have came for the Scholarâs Heart. What a pity that it wasnât Feng Zhenqiu or Xing Huang who came over. If it was those two, perhaps they might save his lifen/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Heaven Demon Sect originated from the Heaven Sect. Since the Heaven Sectâs Jing Gumu had methods to refine the Scholarâs Heart, then perhaps Fang Zhentian had his own means of extracting the Scholarâs Heart. As for Feng Zhe, that fella always had a smile on his face, acting very harmless and innocuous but Mo Wuji could feel that this fellaâs schemes were even deeper than Fang Zhentian. Among the four True God Experts that came with him, Mo Wuji felt the least comfortable with this Feng Zhe.
Time flowed by slowly, Mo Wujiâs spiritual will started to get blurry. He still gritted his teeth and push on; the moment his spiritual will completely blurred up, that would mean that he was really gone. Until the very last moment, he definitely wouldnât give up. Perhaps, Feng Zhenqiu might also want the Scholarâs Heart and come over?
"Boom!" A terrifying explosion excited Mo Wujiâs sinking spiritual will to clear up significantly. He subconsciously extended his spiritual will to the maximum. In his heart, he was thinking whether it was Feng Zhe refining the Scholarâs Heart, or was it Fang Zhentian? Or did the two parties discover one another and started fighting?
Before Mo Wuji could chuck these thoughts aside, a wave of heat came surfing over. Following which, Mo Wuji saw his frozen body, which was on the brink of shattering, start to soften up
Mo Wuji did not feel a half bit excited, but a tinge of fury. These two fellas should just refine the Scholarâs Heart, but if they actually induced another eruption of the Scholarâs Heart. The moment the Scholarâs Heart came flowing over, he would completely and utterly be dead meat.
At this moment, Mo Wuji was feeling slight regret for choosing this place which was so close to the Scholarâs Heart. However, he didnât have time to regret for long. His body had been frozen into an ice cube but with the flames of the Scholarâs Heart flowing over, the first thing he needed to do was to hurry use the Immortal Mortal Technique to stabilise his fleshly body.
Otherwise, even if his body was stronger, to get roasted by such intense flames right after he experience such icy coldness would definitely cause him to collapse. Unfortunately, his internal organs were still frozen solid, with only a single strand of elemental energy still in slow circulation. Even if his legs could move, he couldnât run.
Activating the Immortal Mortal Technique, a soul tearing sensation came pervading through his entire body. As he got wrapped up in this terrifying, tearing pain, Mo Wujiâs entire body started trembling.
Following the rise in the surrounding temperature, the circulation of the Immortal Mortal Technique gradually stabilised and did not seem like he would fall apart. Mo Wuji lightly heaved a sigh of relief, he struggled to sit up as he wanted to first get out of this place.
But when he sent his spiritual will out, he was almost shocked crazy. His entire surroundings was covered in green flames. Feeling that sort terrifying heat, Mo Wuji was at a loss of what to do.
Those two fellas had incited the Scholarâs Heart and the flames of the Scholarâs Heart completely razed over a radius of a few kilometers. Luckily, his distance was still considered quite far, and this was at the extreme sides of the Scholarâs Heart flames. There were only a few green flames. Otherwise, he would have been burnt to ashes.
But how did this flames flow so far? While Mo Wuji ate a few healing pills, he also sent his spiritual will sweeping outwards.
When Mo Wujiâs spiritual will reached Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe who were sitting in the center of the green flames, he immediately came to an understanding.
Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe were a few hundred meters apart, the both of them were sitting on the floor. The jade flute he passed to Fang Zhentian previously was placed on top of Fang Zhentianâs head, emitting a jade green light. This light formed a jade green barrier around Fang Zhentian. Sitting within the barrier, Fang Zhentian was constantly forming hand seals.
A few hundred meters away from Fang Zhentian, ten swords were continuously revolving around Feng Zhe, forming a defensive sword array. Strands of green flame energy slowly seeped into the sword array, circulating between Feng Zheâs two hands.
Mo Wuji had already realised that the two were both refining the Scholarâs Heart and he even knew the twoâs methods. But he didnât know what methods they used to send the Scholarâs Heart spreading for a few kilometers.
No matter how strong the Scholarâs Heart was, it was something that had recently manifested. Furthermore, after being sent spreading for a few kilometers, its temperature had fallen significantly. Previously, the Scholarâs Heart could not be refined. It was because of its horrifyingly high temperatures, such that one couldnât even get close to it. But now, the two incited the Scholarâs Heart to flow out and far; refining the flame was now possible. Compared to Jing Gumu, their methods were more practical.
What Mo Wuji didnât understand was, why did Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe come to a consensus and not interrupt the otherâs refinement of the Scholarâs Heart? Donât the two know that thereâs only one flower of the Scholarâs Heart, and two of them couldnât obtain it at the same time?
Following the twoâs refinement, the surrounding temperature started to rise. Mo Wuji completely regained his ability to move. Regardless, he would have to escape from this place first.
Since there were two True God Stage experts refining the Scholarâs Heart, he wouldnât even get a scrap of it.
Mo Wuji was just about to stand up but he immediately discarded that idea. He couldnât leave yet. The moment he leaves this hill, he would immediately be spotted by Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe. When that happens, he might be eliminated by the two.
Mo Wuji could only stay silent.
At this moment, the surrounding green flames suddenly for stronger by more than a fold. The terrifying flames were so hot, Mo Wuji almost cried out in pain. Mo Wuji hurriedly activated his elemental energy to defend against the heat.
The next instant, Mo Wuji knew that his thinking was useless. Because as Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe crazily refined the Scholarâs Heart, the Scholarâs Heart flames would get stronger
If he did not think of a better method, he would be these twoâs sacrificial pawn, burning to death in this heat.
An idea flashed across his mind. Mo Wuji immediately started his reverse circulation. Ten over meridians simultaneously circulated in the reverse direction, that terrifying cold emerged from Mo Wujiâs meridians. However, the difference from the past was that Mo Wuji was now at the side of the Scholarâs Heart. With the outer temperature, he wouldnât be frozen to an ice cube.
In half an incenseâs time, Mo Wuji knew he wouldnât be able to hold on. His meridians was, in fact, endlessly releasing extreme cold energy but the flame temperature was gradually getting stronger. As time passed, this sort of balance was not what his body could take.
Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and sent out a strand of spiritual will, seeping into the green flames surrounding him. Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe were refining the Scholarâs Heart and now he was also forced to refine it. If he didnât refine it, he would be turned to ashes.
Either way he would die. So why hesitate?
