Chapter 1030: I Swear!

“Mo Xing, Mo Xing!”

Twenty miles south of Heaven Devil Mountain, Mo Yao’er held a letter in her hand and was frantically running about in the wilderness. Her face was filled with tears, her eyes filled with shock and fear. She was running as fast as she could, screaming for Mo Xing. Her voice carried her sobs as she used her essence force to amplify it. Her voice rang out tens of miles away.

“Sacred Lady! Sacred Lady!”

Mo Qi and Mo Fu brought a group of people and were following her. They were completely unaware of what had happened. Why was Mo Yao’er so heartbroken and crying? Why was she running about in the middle of the night? She was shouting for Mo Xing? Although Mo Xing was not in the castle, where could he have gone? Even if he had gone out, it didn’t mean he wasn’t coming back.

“Sacred Lady, what on earth had happened? Don’t panic! Is Mo Xing missing? We can send people to go and find him. You should go back first. It is dangerous out here.”

Mo Fu saw that Mo Yao’er intended to continue running south and hurriedly increased his speed to restrain her. Mo Qi also followed swiftly, nodded, and said, “Sacred Lady, you won’t be able to find him like this. Can you tell us what had happened? We will help you find him.”

“Mo Xing has left. Mo Xing doesn’t want me anymore.”

Mo Yao’er stilled herself, but her body was still shaking. Her lips were trembling, and she looked out of sorts. She muttered, “You guys cannot find him. You guys cannot find him.”

Mo Yao’er’s mannerisms scared Mo Fu, Mo Qi, and company. Mo Fu hurriedly said, “Sacred Lady, Mo Xing’s speed is not that fast. We can deploy our troops to seal off a five-hundred-kilometer radius. We will definitely help you find him.”

“Really?”

A little bit of life seemed to return to Mo Yao’er’s eyes. She held Mo Fu’s hands and anxiously said, “Go and chase! Deploy everyone! You need to find Mo Xing.”

“Okay, okay. Sacred Lady, please go back first!”

Mo Fu nodded. Although this girl was a little devil lady, Mo Fu and company had watched her grow up. They all saw her as their granddaughter. Seeing her like this pained Mo Fu and Mo Qi. Mo Qi added, “Give the order to deploy all our troops. Seal off a five-hundred-kilometer radius. We need to find Mo Xing.”

“There is no need to look!”

At this moment, a cold voice rang out. A figure appeared in mid-air. Mo Fu, Mo Qi, and company saw him and immediately knelt down and said, “Greetings to Sect Patriarch!”

“Majesty Father, Majesty Father!”

Once Mo Yao’er saw her father, tears started streaming down as she yelled and flew towards Mo Shen. She did not pay any attention to the astral winds in the air.

Mo Shen’s eyebrows rose and hurriedly swept away the astral winds, holding Mo Yao’er in his arms. He then said indifferently, “Okay, you guys can go back. I will settle this matter.”

Once Mo Fu and company had left, Mo Yao’er immediately handed the letter to Mo Shen, crying, “Majesty Father, Mo Xing has left. He really left. He left a letter saying that he had to do something important and that if I have not forgotten about him in five years from now and if we still can meet, he will not let me down!”

Mo Shen did not read the letter. He said nonchalantly, “I know. I saw him leave.”

“Ah?”

Mo Yao’er’s eyes welled with tears. She was puzzled and asked, “Why did Majesty Father not stop him? Majesty Father, can you help me to bring him back? My heart hurts.”

Mo Shen caressed Mo Yao’er’s head and sighed. “I can’t bring him back. Even if I could, his heart is not here with you; what use is there? Yao’er, forget about him. He deceived you and took advantage of your feelings; I will definitely make him pay. Hmph! No one can bully my daughter.”

“No!”

Mo Yao’er shook her head vigorously. She said adamantly, “Mo Xing really does like me. He probably really has something big to attend to! If he didn’t like me, he wouldn’t leave this letter. Majesty Father, don’t hurt him. If he dies, I don’t want to live either.”

“Foolish lass!”

Mo Shen’s face changed. “He lied to you. He was lying to you from the beginning. Initially, I thought that there might be a chance he liked you; hence, I didn’t expose his identity and didn’t kill him. Now that he had left in this manner, it has been proven that he only wanted to use you.”

Mo Yao’er was so confused by what Majesty Father was saying that she forgot to even cry. She asked blankly, “Majesty Father, what are you saying? What identity? What do you mean he was using me?”

“If I haven’t guessed wrongly!”

Mo Shen’s gaze looked towards the south. He was full of killing intent as he said, “He most probably came from the East Imperial Continent. He is not Mo Xing. He has a special mystical ability that allows him to alter his appearance and soul spirit aura. Although he changed and became exactly like one of the Heaven Devil Race, I could easily see through his disguise. There is no devil’s bone in his hand!”

“Ah?”

Mo Yao’er was astonished. Her mouth wide open, she asked, “If he is not Mo Xing, who is he?”

“Jiang Yi!”

Mo Shen spat out a name. He explained: “When he left, I was coincidentally sending out my divine senses. I saw that there was a disturbance in the air. That must have been the Heaven Evasion Divine Skill. When he was killing Qiu Bai and company that time on Ice Island, there was not a living soul left in the vicinity. He must have been afraid that his identity might be exposed. Also, the supposed Jolting Kill Through Air that he used to kill Qiu Ming should be his astral wind mystical ability.

However, his Icebound Thousand Miles dao pattern should have been learned in the Snow Region. Legend has it that Jiang Yi also has a mystical ability that can allow him to change into anyone. To be able to wreak havoc in the Snow Region at such a young age, he could only be Jiang Yi, the unlucky star.”

“Jiang Yi?”

Mo Yao’er was not unfamiliar with this character Jiang Yi. She actually had paid much attention to this young man that was shaking up the East Imperial Continent. In her mind, the two people started to merge into one. She thought for a long time, before saying, “Jiang Yi? Mo Xing? It seems like they are actually the same person. His aura is too unique. Even someone who grew up on Heaven Devil Mountain would not have such an air. I should have long guessed it. Jiang Yi? He’s Jiang Yi? Aaaah…”

Mo Yao’er suddenly recalled many things. The first time Jiang Yi and her met, that obstinate and unruly look he had; no ordinary disciple of Heaven Devil Race would dare to look at her like that. Furthermore, when Jiang Yi was killing Qiu Ming, that killer determination and presumptuousness was not something ordinary people possessed.

Most importantly, on Tiger Subdue Mountain, the look of unending love that Jiang Yi had when he saw Su Ruoxue. Followed by his crazed departure, that limitless pain. There was also Jiang Yi’s devilish smile, as well as the arrogance he had when he was with her. All this was definitely not something a normal disciple of Heaven Devil Race would have.

Mo Yao’er managed to put all the pieces together. She looked as if she had lost her soul, standing on the spot like an idiot.

Mo Shen was right. Jiang Yi’s heart was not here. Even if he was brought back, what use was there? He had never liked her; he was just playing along—using her. She still remembered two months ago, when she brought up the topic of their wedding… the solemn look he had.

Jiang Yi was very famous. All the great races in the Snow Region had heard of his name and escapades. Mo Yao’er also knew Jiang Yi very well. She understood at this moment that she could never win this man’s heart. He was a divine dragon from above the Nine Heavens while she was just a peacock from the mountains.

The East Imperial Continent had so many elegant young ladies. The likes of Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing were all entangled with Jiang Yi. It was also rumored that in the Gods Bestow Tribe, Jiang Yi was also involved with many ladies. How was it possible that he would be attracted to such an unruly and reckless girl like her?

“Majesty Father!”

She stared into the distance for a long period of time and raised the letter in her hand, with eyes full of hope. She asked, “Majesty Father, he said that if I hadn’t forgotten him after five years and if we had a chance to meet, he will not let me down. Is his word true?”

Mo Shen deeply sighed. He did not want to break Mo Yao’er’s heart and said indifferently, “Since those were his final words, that should be true. Yao’er, you should forget him. This person has a demonic nature. He will either fly all the way up to the Nine Heavens, or he will die! There are so many good men in the world. If you choose to wait for him, perhaps… you might be alone and bitter your entire life.”

“No! I will wait!”

Mo Yao’er clenched her fists tightly. She said determinedly, “I will wait for him for five years. I will also work hard and break through the Demigod Realm. If I manage to find him after five years and if he still decides to let me down, I will… kill him myself. I swear.”
