Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

"I haven't seen my senior brother for many years and couldn't resist testing my skills, so the room is a bit messy. Please excuse us..." Zhang Xuan heard Ling Buyang's voice ring out as he stood stunned.

Turning his head, he saw the Vice Hall Master standing in the middle of the hall with a smile on his face.

Yue Longxiao suddenly realized and looked again at Mo Qing to see why he was leaking water when a horse, appearing out of nowhere, blocked his view. The horse held a cloth in one hoof and a teapot in another, while its huge head grinned foolishly at him.

"..."

Yue Longxiao's eyelids twitched.

Indeed, he was seeing things; how could a horse serve tea and water?

"Wasn't it just a moment ago that you parted with Master Yue? How come you are back so soon..." Zhang Xuan looked over, puzzled.

"It's like this, I think the three days Vice Hall Master Ling mentioned are too long. To avoid prolonged uncertainties, I wanted to discuss things with you again..."

Yue Longxiao hurriedly explained.

After Xie Feng had passed on the message, he immediately rushed over without stopping. The issue involving those three geniuses was too significant, and even he couldn't afford to let his guard down.

"Ah, I also intended to discuss it, but then my senior brother arrived. He wants to take these geniuses away as well and offered me a price I can't refuse..."

Zhang Xuan said with a troubled expression.

Hearing this, Yue Longxiao felt a jolt in his heart and anxiously looked toward Mo Qing, who was now unobstructed by any horse. This expert from Zouyi City sat quietly, eyes slightly closed, expressionless, and motionless, appearing unfathomably profound.

"It's no wonder he's a master from the Galaxy Realm, not only his aura and cultivation impossible to discern, but even his breathing and heartbeat are imperceptible... Such strength is extraordinarily formidable!"

Yue Longxiao silently cautioned himself.

In Han Yuan City, he feared no one except Emperor Han Qianchou, but facing a master from Galaxy Realm who excelled in aggressive celestial abilities was still daunting.

Moreover, if they can easily see through your cultivation level and you can't even tell when they breathe, the gap is hugely significant.

Taking a deep breath, Yue Longxiao clenched his teeth and said, "Everything is negotiable. Vice Hall Master Ling mentioned earlier that whoever offers a higher price could take them. If necessary, we can just bid for it. Mo Blade Sect might be powerful, but compared to our Wanxiang Sect, there's no comparison!"

Both may be called "Sect," but Wanxiang Sect spreads across the entire Source World with numerous experts. Who knows how many Fate Masters with more than 7 stars are there, while the strongest in Mo Blade Sect, Elder Bai Ye, is merely a 3-star Fate Master!

The difference between them is like heaven and earth.

Though his own strength was inadequate, he hoped that by stating these facts, the opponent would be wary. After saying this, the leader of Wanxiang Sect looked again towards Mo Qing.

The latter still had his eyes firmly closed, completely motionless, as if he hadn't heard what was being said.

Incredible composure, that state of being... truly humbling!

Such a difficult person to deal with indeed!

"Vice Hall Master Ling, what do you think?"

Knowing the other party wouldn't speak up, Yue Longxiao folded his arms in respect.

"I..."

Zhang Xuan, unaware of his intentions, hesitated for a moment then looked towards Mo Qing not far away, "Senior brother, your opinion is..."

"Hmm! Bidding is fine, but you in the Source Pool Realm are not yet qualified. Send someone over from your side who is qualified enough to negotiate with me!"

Mo Qing grunted.

His voice was somewhat sharp; it sounded like he feared breathing too loudly, giving the impression that any larger movement might cause his head to fall off.

"Good!"

Seeing his agreement, Yue Longxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, I'm afraid we will have to ask Elder Mo Qing to wait a bit longer. Someone from the Wanxiang Sect headquarters is on their way, but I cannot confirm when exactly they will arrive. However, it should be no later than tomorrow!"

He was unaware of who from the headquarters was coming or their capabilities.

"I'm not in a hurry!"

Having acknowledged, Mo Qing did not say more.

The room fell silent, leaving Yue Longxiao awkwardly standing still, unsure whether to leave or stay.

The news of Mo Qing being killed had reached the Zhou Yi Dynasty's Hunting List, but Han Yuan City had not received it, so Yue Longxiao was unaware that the person before him was already dead.

"How about this, Master Yue, you go back and rest first. When your people arrive, it's not too late to come back and bid..."

Seeing him somewhat at a loss, Zhang Xuan suggested.

The place was already in a mess. It would be good to clear out the guests first.

They might as well wait until he had sewn his senior brother's head back on before continuing, lest it leak when drinking water or the sound of his voice, if too loud, might cause it to fall off... in which case the negotiations needn't continue.

"No need, I'll stay here. It's only a day or two. I'm sure Vice Hall Master Ling won't find me bothersome because of it."

Yue Longxiao clenched his teeth.

This Mo Qing gave him an inscrutable look, so he might as well stay here and wait; otherwise, the moment he left, the other party would immediately lead people away, and crying would be too late.

If they returned to the Zhou Yi Dynasty, to Mo Blade Sect, he could easily find them, but once they hid, even high-ranking experts from the headquarters would not be able to search the entire mainland.

The most crucial issue was that once these three prodigies underwent the Heavenly Mandate Baptism and confirmed their fragments of the heavens, it would be somewhat difficult for them to bestow legacies afterward.

Seeing that he did not leave, Zhang Xuan frowned.

If this guy didn't leave, he would have no way to take Mo Qing away. The latter, sitting unmoved, could keep his head on his shoulders, but once he stood up, it would definitely fall off...

What to do?

In the room, there were just two living people, both harboring their own thoughts at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Yue Longxiao could no longer hold back, turned his head to look at Han Xiao not far away, and transmitted his voice, "Master Han, what just happened? Are those three prodigies still there?"

He had a good relationship with the other party; otherwise, he wouldn't have shared so much detailed information about Ling Buyang.

Han Xiao nodded, replying via voice transmission, "Don't worry, those people are all still here, it's just that Lord Mo Qing and Vice Hall Master Ling had a contest..."

Yue Longxiao, "Who won and who lost?"

Han Xiao said, "Of course, it was Lord Mo Qing. He defeated Vice Hall Master Ling with one move, and the pit on the ground and the hole in the wall were all caused by him..."

Yue Longxiao nodded, then furrowed his brows again.

Mo Qing was covered in dust and mud, so was Han Xiao, yet that Vice Hall Master Ling was spotless... You're telling me he was beaten?

Why does it feel like you two were the ones beaten, and he was fine?

"What benefit did Lord Mo Qing provide, making Vice Hall Master Ling unable to refuse?" Yue Longxiao continued to ask.

Han Xiao shook his head, soothingly said, "I don't know about that; the two brothers discussed it, how could an outsider like me know? But a word of advice, later on, try to increase your stake, the bigger the stake, the greater the opportunities..."

Yue Longxiao nodded, just as he was about to continue inquiring, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and shortly after, a stout man entered the room.

Sun Qiang clasped his hands in a salute, "Old master, there is a lady outside asking to see you..."

"A lady? Who?" Zhang Xuan stood dumbfounded.

Why had it suddenly become so lively here today?

First Mo Qing, Han Xiao, then Yue Longxiao, and now a woman had arrived...

Could it be someone Ling Buyang had flirted with in the past and hadn't settled with, now coming to find him?

"She wore a veil, didn't disclose her identity, just said you once had a favor upon her, and she was just here to repay it... It won't take much time!"

Sun Qiang relayed the visitor's original words.

"To repay a favor?"

Zhang Xuan became even more puzzled, but regardless of who the person was, it would become clear once he saw her. If it was someone Ling Buyang had entangled with, a few vague words should be enough to fob her off.

Thinking this, he nodded, "Let her come in!"

Sun Qiang turned and left; shortly after, a woman dressed in green, with her face veiled, making her face indiscernible but revealing a shapely body, entered. From the skin exposed, one could tell she was not very old, only about twenty years old.

Upon seeing Zhang Xuan and the others in the room, the woman slightly frowned and made a courtesy, "The young lady pays respects to Vice Hall Master Ling!"

She clearly changed her voice, rendering it difficult to discern who she was.

Zhang Xuan nodded, "May I know what matter brings you to me?"

The woman hesitated, "I would like to speak privately with Vice Hall Master Ling, if that would be possible?"

"Speak privately?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Was she really someone Ling Buyang had dealt with in the past? It seemed that although the guy lacked strength, he was quite a charmer...

"Yes, this matter is of great importance and also very urgent, I hope Vice Hall Master Ling can decide quickly..."

The woman urged.

"Alright!"

Seeing that her strength did not seem too formidable, likely not his match, Zhang Xuan nodded, "Please wait in the side hall, miss..."

The woman nodded, and under the guidance of Sun Qiang, she headed to the side hall. Once she left, Zhang Xuan then turned to Mo Qing and the others, "Brother Master, Master Han, Master Yue, I have a bit of private business to take care of and will be over soon..."

Yue Longxiao nodded, "You're busy, Vice Hall Master Ling..."

Zhang Xuan said no more, and with a few steps, he reached the side hall. Just as he entered the room, he saw the woman who had just turned around, her eyes bright, "Zhang Xuan laoshi, long time no see!"

His scalp exploded, and Zhang Xuan immediately narrowed his eyes.
