Chapter 962: Chapter 424 Jin Li: I... am very gentle.

Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable concealed his form, stealthily making his way towards Duanyue Abyss.

"Since there may be some issues with Mo Tong Heavenly Venerable, let Mo Chi Heavenly Venerable keep an eye on him," he resolved.

Concealing his figure, he glided past many Yin Gods.

Even though he was only a few miles away from the Yin Gods guarding Duanyue Abyss, not a single one of them detected the presence of Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable.

After some time, Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable’s figure came to a halt, his gaze directed deep into Duanyue Abyss.

The Formation obstructed his sight.

Although his power far surpassed that of Mo Chi Heavenly Venerable, he lacked the acute observational skills of Mo Tong Heavenly Venerable within the Realm of Ultimate Reasoning.

Therefore, at this moment, he couldn’t perceive anything.

"Mo Chi Heavenly Venerable, please come out and meet me promptly," Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable communicated telepathically.

Being a Sun God of the Realm of Ultimate Reasoning, his status was far above Mo Chi’s; naturally, he was not there to pay homage.

No sooner had the sound dissipated than the Formation deep within Duanyue Abyss fluctuated, and a man in a gray robe hurriedly emerged, appearing somewhat flustered.

This natural display of panic might deceive fellow Cultivators, but to those of higher understanding within the Realm, it was easily detected.

"Greetings, Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable!" Qi Yuan bowed his head, his demeanour respectul, his face still showing a hint of surprise, "What brings you to Duanyue Abyss, Venerable?"

At this instant, he did his utmost to play the part, even suppressing his inner thoughts.

"Mo Chi, have you seen Mo Tong Heavenly Venerable recently?" Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable glanced at Qi Yuan.

"Yes, some days ago I visited Mo Tong Heavenly Venerable as per tradition.

At that time, Mo Tong Heavenly Venerable even invited me to... stage a sneak attack on the Moon God Palace.

However, at the time, I was at a critical juncture with a furnace of pills, so I turned down Mo Tong Heavenly Venerable’s invitation.

Now... could it be..."

Qi Yuan continued to act, his face registering shock.

"Mo Tong Heavenly Venerable has sustained some injuries," Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable said solemnly, "I suspect the wounds inflicted by the Moon God Palace were not light, and have already affected him. I am too far from Jueyue Abyss to keep a constant eye on this place; you help me watch over him."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan looked solemn: "Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable, you suspect Mo Tong..."

He swallowed hard, the rest of his words left unsaid.

"You only need to keep watch and report back to me at all times," Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable did not elaborate further.

"As you command!" Qi Yuan bowed, not daring to look directly at Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable.

"Return now," Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable said indifferently.

Beholding this, Qi Yuan hastily retreated.

Some dozen breaths later, Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable squinted, his expression complex.

"Something’s not quite right with this Mo Chi, his body lacks the aura of newly created precious pills."

Mo Chi had just mentioned, he turned down Mo Tong because he was busy with alchemy.

Therefore, Mo Chi should have been engaged in pill concoction all along.

He detected the scent of precious pills on Mo Chi, but upon closer examination, it was that of pills that had been completed a long time ago, not those newly concocted or still in the process.

Which meant, Mo Chi Heavenly Venerable was lying about this matter.

"There must be some little secret," Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable’s eyes deepened in thought, "Pity that my true form is too far from here; otherwise, I’d really like to see what little secret Mo Chi holds."

His gaze was profound, an impulse striking him.

"Mo Qi is adjacent to Duanyue Abyss, so I’ll let him monitor Mo Chi," Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable thought to himself and then set off towards the area guarded by Mo Qi Heavenly Venerable.

Indeed, Mo Heng Heavenly Venerable was adept at setting up multi-layered traps.

...

In the Sixfold Heavens, at Suiyun Pavilion.

The armored woman had changed into a set of emerald-green robes, her murderous aura slightly abated.

She walked out from Suiyun Pavilion, a trace of solemnity in her expression.

"Aunt, aren’t we at war with the Mo Luo Clan, still engaged in a fierce battle? Why are we seeking loans from them?" Mu Bihua’s face wore a puzzled look, clearly not understanding the situation.

Today, she had accompanied her aunt to the territory operated by the Mo Luo Clan to negotiate a loan.

The amount of Immortal Jade they borrowed was an astronomical figure.

This Immortal Jade was to be delivered in installments to their clan by the Mo Luo Clan.

"War is war, business is business," the tall man explained, "Despite being at war in the Demon Abyss with the Mo Luo Clan for nearly hundreds of thousands of years, till now... the dead are merely some Yin Gods; not a single Sun God Heavenly Venerable has fallen.

The tall man said this with some emotion.

In his view, the grudges between these major forces seemed incredibly ludicrous.

The casualties were solely among the lower ranks.

The high echelons were seated in the heavens, untouched by enmity.

At any moment, a single command could turn a sworn enemy into an ally."

"Thus, naturally, business can be conducted," the tall man spoke, a hint of suspicion crossing his face, "It just puzzles me why Her Highness Moon Maiden ordered us to secure a loan from the Mo Luo Clan, with such high interest rates."

Due to the hostilities, the Mo Luo Clan’s interest rates for loans to them were significantly higher than usual.

Every ten years, the amount of interest they had to pay back to the Mo Luo Clan was staggering.

In fact, the interest alone, due every decade, amounted to several Immortal Jade mines for the Mo Luo Clan.

A single Immortal Jade mine could be enough for a Yin God Venerable to step into the Venerable tier.

"Exactly, so many Immortal Jades, much of our wealth, will be paid off as interest to the Mo Luo Clan!" The thought of taking on debt made the girl pull a bitter face, clearly reluctant.

Just then, a somewhat mocking voice reached their ears, followed by the sight of a rotund man approaching: "Could it be you don’t know yet, that your Her Highness Moon Maiden has fallen for a certain demon, willingly giving up her status at the Moon God Palace.

Now... it’s likely she needs resources for cultivation, hence... she’s turning to the Mo Luo Clan for Immortal Jade."

Seeing the portly man, Mu Tianshui gave a cold snort: "Even if our young lady loses the status of Moon Maiden, she is not someone your petty Zhao Family can offend!"

The rotund man stiffened upon hearing this.
