“That’s my pet you just captured…” A gloomy voice sounded out.

No matter how hard both Mo Wuji and Yan Qianyin looked, all they saw was the faint shadow of a lady. It was almost impossible to make out how she looked like.

Mo Wuji shivered as he could feel the gloomy aura of the cave get stronger by the minute. It felt as though the air surrounding him was going to freeze even though nothing had actually changed.

Yan Qianyin took out the bag which held the Life Sucking Beast in captive and said without hesitation, “Senior Yanfei, forgive junior for my thoughtlessness. I had no idea that this Life Sucking Beast still belongs to someone. Junior apprentice brother Mo, we cannot stay here for any longer…”

Fu Yanfei? Mo Wuji had no clue how Yan Qianyin was able to recognise who the other party was. However, Mo Wuji could tell from Yan Qianyin’s eyes that she was lying blatantly but he could not figure out her real motive for doing so.

“Don't bother leaving now that you’re here. Didn't that old folk Zuo Wuhen warn you that the Formless Blade Mountain is not for anyone to enter and leave as they please?” The shadow reached out her arm and grasped Mo Wuji’s skull.

Mo Wuji tried to budge but to no avail.

Being grasped as well, Yan Qianyin spat out a mouthful of blood after managing to release herself before drawing and attacking with her sword. The frozen and tense air surrounding Mo Wuji appeared to have loosened a little.

“Junior apprentice brother Mo, this is the most I can help you with. Hurry up and escape…” Yan Qianyin vanished after attacking with her sword.

Mo Wuji did not blame Yan Qianyin for her actions because he understood the logic: Every man for themselves. This was especially true for situations like this. He knew that it would be impossible for Yan Qianyin to save him. Therefore, he truly appreciated her effort to help defrost the surrounding frozen air.

Mo Wuji did not bother trying to escape with Yan Qianyin because he understood one thing: When facing a pack of chasing wolves, you don't need to run faster than the wolves to survive; you just need to run faster than your companion. However, his companion was Yan Qianyin and he knew he could never outrun her.

This applied to Yan Qianyin but not him. The fact that Yan Qianyin helped release him proved that she had ideas of saving him and not just leaving him to fend the enemy off.

Perhaps Yan Qianyin knew that Mo Wuji alone could not buy much time, especially against this shadow lady.

Instead of fleeing the moment he was released, Mo Wuji drew out his knife and attacked back almost immediately.

“Ahh…” A devastating cry was soon heard after a blue lightning bolt flew by. Mo Wuji then realised his opponent’s fear of lightning bolts.

Mo Wuji immediately turned 180 degrees and hurried out of the cave in the shortest possible time.

The woman was so unbelievably powerful that if she were to find out Mo Wuji was only a paper tiger with that lightning bolt, it would mean the end of Mo Wuji’s short life.

Perhaps Mo Wuji’s lightning bolt was really effective because she did not follow to retaliate even when he managed to reach the vines near the entrance of the cave.

Just as Mo Wuji exited the cave, he felt an earth-shaking force tossing him into a bind. Mo Wuji became terrified thinking that this force came from the tremendously powerful woman who was chasing after him. However, as he took a glance behind him, he saw the woman just getting out of the vines at the entrance of the cave and the force could not have been from her.
