Chapter 234: Old Acquaintance | Trận Vấn Trường Sinh
Trận Vấn Trường Sinh - Updated on May 14, 2025
This flaming strike technique is very skillful, and the power is not small. It must be from the hand of a Spirit Cultivator. Among demon hunters, there are few Spirit Cultivators. If there are Spirit Cultivators entering the mountains, they will also follow the demon hunter team and cannot act alone. And demon hunter teams range from five or six people to eight or nine or even more than ten. They are well-equipped with knives and armor. This group of people is absolutely no match. Once surrounded by demon hunters, they won’t be able to escape even if they want to run. They do this kind of business with their heads hanging on their belts. They cannot lose their lives because of temporary greed.
The leading cultivator panicked in his heart and immediately decided, “Withdraw quickly!”
The seven rogue cultivators quickly withdrew.
Ji Qingbai and the others, who were struggling to hold on, saw the situation and all felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. They all put down the weapons in their hands and leaned on the storage boxes, panting. Ji Qingbai felt even more fortunate to have survived the disaster. This time was extremely dangerous. The Ji family only had the two of them, father and son. If they were not careful and died here, the Ji family would be cut off, and that would truly be a tragedy for the family. Thinking of this, Ji Qingbai felt grateful and cupped his hands towards the top of the mountain, saying:
“Many thanks, may I know which brother from the demon hunter team it is?”
The other several people also followed Ji Qingbai’s voice and looked over. On the rugged rocks at the top of the mountain, the bushes swayed, and then Mo Hua’s small figure appeared. Mo Hua scratched his head and said awkwardly:
“We are of different generations, Uncle Ji.”
Ji Qingbai and his father call each other brothers, so Mo Hua couldn’t bear this “brother.” Ji Qingbai was stunned. How could it be a child? Looking carefully, he then realized that the child in front of him was a bit familiar. Brows like a painting, clear and handsome, looking like the child from Mo Shan’s family. Ji Qingbai had seen Mo Hua before and had a very deep impression of him.
“You are… Mo Hua?” Ji Qingbai said in disbelief.
“Mm,” Mo Hua nodded.
“You… how did you get here?” Ji Qingbai looked around left and right. “Just you alone? Where is your father?”
The other three people also exchanged glances.
Mo Hua said: “We’ll talk about it later, now is not the time to talk about this.”
“Then now…” Ji Qingbai was a little confused.
Mo Hua said: “Run quickly…”
The inner mountain is so big, and there may not be other demon hunters nearby. The smoke signal he released may not necessarily bring support. Even if support comes, it may not arrive in time. In case the seven cultivators recover in a while and come back, it will be a big problem. Ji Qingbai instantly understood and was not polite. He immediately packed up and prepared to set off. Ji Qingbai didn’t plan to bring those large storage boxes, but he was still a little reluctant before leaving. These were all their family possessions. Mo Hua saw the situation and said: “Bring them.”
Ji Qingbai thought he had heard wrong and hesitated, “In case those people chase after us…”
“If they chase after us, I will tell you in advance. It won’t be too late to throw them away then,” Mo Hua said.
Ji Qingbai was stunned. How could he know such a thing in advance? Mo Hua’s expression was composed. Even if that group of cultivators chased after them, with his divine sense, he could perceive it in advance and have ample time to react. As long as he had time to prepare and set up an array, even if several more came, Mo Hua could make them unable to stay.
“Moreover, if we take our luggage, they may not dare to chase. If we don’t take our luggage, they will know at a glance that we are guilty and will definitely chase after us,” Mo Hua added.
Ji Qingbai immediately nodded and said: “Good!”
The several storage boxes were placed on a one-wheeled wooden cart. Ji Qingbai and the big man took turns pulling it. Ji Li supported the injured female cultivator, and Mo Hua led the way in front. The group of people walked along the mountain path. Mo Hua took out the Si Nan compass from time to time, took a look, and then reselected a direction. Ji Qingbai and the others were not clear about the reason, but seeing Mo Hua’s confident appearance, they couldn’t help but follow him. They were all amazed in their hearts that Mo Hua was so familiar with the roads in the inner mountain…
Mo Hua led several people to a campsite and said:
“Let’s rest here for a while and treat the injuries.”
Ji Qingbai and the others nodded. They had been fighting bitterly for a long time, and their bodies were all injured. They had been forcibly enduring all the way and were now powerless to continue. Everyone rested at the campsite. Mo Hua divided the hemostasis pills and some healing pills among everyone. Ji Qingbai took the pills, smelled the medicinal scent, and said in surprise: “These pills… are of such good quality!”
Mo Hua nodded and said: “These were refined by Grandpa Feng.”
These pills were all specially refined for him by Old Mister Feng. Old Mister Feng’s alchemy technique was extraordinary. He used a top-quality one-grade alchemy furnace, which had a one-grade recovery array drawn inside and pure furnace fire. The quality of the refined pills was naturally superior. However, Mo Hua had not been injured much since entering the inner mountain. He had kept these emergency pills for a long time, and now they were just right to use.
“Old Mister Feng from Apricot Forest Hall?” Ji Qingbai was slightly surprised, then nodded, “No wonder.”
Old Mister Feng was a one-grade alchemist who had saved countless people. Even in Qingxuan City, he was very famous. Ji Qingbai took two pills and gave the rest to Ji Li and the young female cultivator. The female cultivator’s injuries were the most serious, and she had bled the most. After taking the pills, her mind relaxed, and she fell into a drowsy state and fainted. Ji Li guarded her side, his expression both worried and heartbroken. Mo Hua looked at the female cultivator, then at Ji Li, and asked curiously:
“Big Brother Ji, are you two dao companions?”
Ji Li’s face turned red in an instant.
“No… no… not yet.”
“Not yet, does that mean almost?”
Mo Hua asked to the bottom of it, his eyes shining brightly. “If you two get married, can I come drink wedding wine?”
He had grown up so big and had never drunk anyone’s wedding wine. Ji Li’s face became even redder. Ji Qingbai saw the situation and also laughed a little, saying: “If you don’t mind, we will definitely invite you then.”
“It’s a deal,” Mo Hua laughed.
The atmosphere inside the campsite relaxed a little. Ji Qingbai then asked: “Right, why are you alone in the mountain? The mountain is very dangerous. Where is your father?”
“I’m fine alone. My father has other things to do,” Mo Hua replied.
Ji Qingbai looked at Mo Hua, feeling both shocked and regretful. At such a young age, he was already at the seventh layer of Qi Refining and could survive in the inner mountain alone. He was very familiar with the mountain roads and responded calmly to crises. Indeed, a tiger father produces no dog sons. Mo Hua, like his father, had a lot of talent as a demon hunter. But it was a pity that he still became a demon hunter. Ji Qingbai saw the demon hunter order hanging around Mo Hua’s neck and sighed in his heart. As a demon hunter, it was very difficult to spare attention to learn arrays. Ji Qingbai still hoped that Mo Hua could walk the path of an array master, not just be an excellent demon hunter. Among rogue cultivators, there were demon hunters everywhere, but array masters were absolutely none. With Mo Hua’s talent, not learning arrays and not becoming an array master was truly too regrettable. Ji Qingbai regretted it endlessly in his heart.
Mo Hua saw that Ji Qingbai seemed a little worried and couldn’t help but ask:
“Uncle Ji, why did you come to Tongxian City?”
Ji Qingbai was slightly startled, as if thinking of something, and smiled bitterly:
“I can’t live in Qingxuan City anymore and want to come here to seek a livelihood.”
