The three Elders couldn't help but be shaken after hearing Mo Xie's words, looking at his silhouette moving further and further away.
Although they wanted to protest, looking at the disciples behind them, they couldn't help but accept such an order. Wujin is the first one to speak; "Everyone, gather all of your belongs and prepare, we will move out of the Gangting City!"
With a heavy heart, everyone nodded: "Yes!"
"You all heard the Patriarch's words, those that wish to leave the Mo Family are free to go, you can also bring your Family together with us on this journey!" Zedong added.
Jiahao said something too: "But be sure to make up your mind, as we will be going nowhere and will be restarting everything!"
"All those that wish to go with us after going with your Family, meet us at the western gates!" The three elders spoke as they also prepared to leave, bringing all of the scrolls and documents that they had been using for the whole cultivation process in their life with the Mo Family.
Without any hesitation, everyone replied: "YES!"
All of them started to move, gathering whatever they can in order to evacuate, and what's more shocking is that the Mo Family's servants are even going with them, but they left the Mo Family's residence first to gather their Family and loved ones together on this journey, risking everything for something unknown.
but due to something that they couldn't explain themselves, whenever they are together with Mo Xie, the benefits that they receive is soo great.
They couldn't even feel the Spiritual Energy yet, just by serving the Mo Family, all of them broke through and became Bronze ranked practitioners.
Although it wasn't much, but that is a huge boon for mortals, it is like having their life extended by another 20 years.
Meanwhile, in the sky, two people are looking at the Mo Family's mansion, seemingly planning something.
"Do they think that they will be able to leave this City alive?" One of them asked.
The other one chuckles as he shook his head: "Giving them some hope before their despair would definitely be great, let's just wait."
"Agreed." The other one nodded as a wicked smile appeared on his face.
.

...
Meanwhile.
Shang Ting and her group are still a few meters away from the Mo Family's residence.
"We're almost there!" Shang Ting spoke while taking extreme precaution to the people that are chasing them.
"Yes." Huolin and Luoyang replied.
Meanwhile, Aiqing had been recovering her Spiritual Energy as fast as she could, she's also preparing for something, because earlier, she felt a huge amount of knowledge poured down to her Soul Sea.
But just at this exact moment, another unexpected event happened.
"Hahahaha, We've made it! Four beauties!" Just at this moment, another group of experts came and block Shang Ting's path. These people are the exact same group that chased Wentian's group earlier and tortured the two disciples of the Mo Family to death.
Shang Ting didn't even think twice and spoke: "Luoyang, bring Aiqing and split with us, Huolin, come with me."
"Yes!" They both spoke, they immediately separated together with their own group.
Aiqing was about to say something, but Luoyang immediately dragged her.
The group that blocked Shang Ting immediately followed her, meanwhile, the people that was chasing Shang Ting's group earlier focused on Aiqing.
Shang Ting made a drastic move, the path she took is a very long detour, while Luoyang took the fastest route possible.
Aiqing pouted, although her strength isn't on par with these experts, she still had a few skills she can use, and those were the skills that Mo Xie had used in saving Zedong earlier.
"Big Sis, let's stop here." Aiqing spoke.
Luoyang frowned and replied: "Young Miss, this is not the time to play."
Luoyang spoke in a domineering manner, she would rather die than let Aiqing be injured or worst, get killed, although Luoyang accepted that Aiqing is strong, she feels it that Aiqing wouldn't be a match for these experts.
Aiqing sighed, she broke through Luoyang's embrace and immediately dashed forward.
"Young Miss!" Luoyang exclaimed, but what happened next shocked her the most.
"Samsara; Endless Void." Aiqing's voice is as cute as ever, but the expression of cuteness has long been lost from her beautiful and adorable face.
_Wooosh~_ When her voice faded, the air started to distort as a vortex-like thing suddenly appears in front of the experts chasing Aiqing and Luoyang.
"What's happe-" One of them was about to ask, but before he could finish his words, the air started to become lighter, as all five of them even against their will are getting dragged forward.
"Retreat!" One of these experts spoke, he already had beads of sweats appearing all over his body.
Aiqing smirked; "Nirvana; Unmovable Force."
These are the skills that Mo Xie had used earlier, these two exact skills, Unmovable Force is used to prevent others from escaping a certain area, it took Mo Xie the price of depleting his whole spiritual energy earlier, even caused him a lot of pain all over his body.
"No! Wha. What's going on! Something is blocking our path of escape!!" The one that ordered the retreat spoke, he tried to struggle with the others, but sadly, all of their attacks were useless.
The moves that Aiqing had done is the same with how Mo Xie had done it too, but Aiqing's skills seemed to be a level stronger than his.
Aiqing pouted as she sighed; "Sadly, I couldn't use these skills for the second time."
Luoyang looked at Aiqing in shock; "Young Miss... Where... How... What..."
"It is a skill that Daddy gave me, a one-time use skill, it can only be used once after daddy gives that skill to me." Aiqing's expression returned to that of a cute and innocent child.
The vortex started to grow stronger and stronger, the experts trapped inside the Nirvana; Unmovable Force are getting sucked in by the vortex.
"No!"
They looked at the vortex sucking them with fright, slowly, their power is getting useless as time passes, they are using every bit of Spiritual Energy within their Soul Sea but the power of the vortex is still growing stronger, it seemed like it wouldn't even stop until they are devoured.
Aiqing smiled as she spoke: "Don't even think about fighting it, this is a technique that father especially made himself, struggling is futile."
"NO! WE WILL NEVER ACCEPT IT!" With gritted teeth, they tried to fight the force, but as what Aiqing had said, struggling is futile.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" All of them howl, with great pain and suffering, all of their bodies distorted as the vortex tried to squeeze them into the hole which only has the size of a small child's fist.
One can only imagine the pain that they are suffering, after a while, not even a drop of blood was left.
"Hays, Now I don't even have enough Spiritual Energy within my body to run." Aiqing sighed, but she then looked at the direction where Shang Ting had gone in to.
Aiqing can use any skill that Mo Xie had used once, that is one of the Black Soul Sea's abilities, the 'Absolute Mirror.'
"Aiqing! Where is your mother!" Right at this moment, a voice sounded.
"DADDY! They went towards that direction!" Aiqing pointed, she didn't even have to look at Mo Xie, she had already grown accustomed to his Spiritual Energy, it just feels like a static link between them.
Mo Xie didn't see what Aiqing had done earlier, and without any Spiritual Energy running through his Soul Sea, he couldn't have detected it too.
But the two elders behind him couldn't help but be shocked, just a few seconds ago, they felt a strong fluctuation of a Mysterious energy that they only felt from the Grand Elder of the original Mo Family.
"Go inside the residence, I`ll handle the rest." Mo Xie spoke as he immediately went and moved towards the location where Aiqing had pointed.
"YES!" Since Aiqing has no more aces on her sleeves, she would only be a burden, hence, the only thing she can do is wait for her father to save her step-mother.
Just at this moment, a sound came knocking and woke Mo Xie's calm state.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAA!" This sound is extremely familiar to him, because, that is the voice of someone that had stayed with him for the longest period in this new life of his.
"SHANG TING!" Mo Xie shouted, his phase increased further, and what he witnessed when he arrived is something that infuriated him even more.
Xiao Shang is holding Shang Ting on her neck as half of her face is burned unrecognizably. Behind her, there are still two experts at the peak Earth ranked Coralists.
Huolin is heaving heavily on the ground, her whole face is also burnt, if Mo Xie didn't know it well, he would definitely not have recognized Huolin.
"YOU! YOU WILL PAY!" Mo Xie glared at Xiao Shang as he held two pieces of papers in his hand.
Xiao Shang sighed and pulled out a sword and immediately aimed it at Shang Ting's heart; "Haaa... Xie'er, Xie'er, Xie'er, you've already found yourself a woman? We haven't even separated for a year yet you already found a sl*t?"
Mo Xie was about to move, but before he could, Xiao Shang spoke: "Careful, my hand might slip, I know you wouldn't want something to this half pretty half ugly wife of yours."
Xiao Shang looked at Mo Xie, waiting for his next move; "Xie'er, I want to see your face in despair, show it to me, I missed it so much!"
But Mo Xie didn't budge, he only slumped his shoulder as he glared at Xiao Shang.
Xiao Shang's facial expression sighed, she looked at the two elders behind Mo Xie and immediately recognizes them: "Ohh, if it isn't the Mo Clan's left and right punishment Elders."
Yes, these two were the Mo Clan's punishment Elders before it was annihilated by the combined forces of the Kingdom and Xiao Clan in a single night.
Although the Mo Clan was annihilated from their base, there were still a lot of disciples and elders that escaped due to the sacrifice of the Grand Elder and Patriarch, Mo Xie's father and grandfather. All of the remnants scattered throughout the whole kingdom, some even went further, either west or north.
"Miss Shang, please free those people and we will forget everything that has happened, this old man begs you." Elder Wang spoke.
"This old one too." Elder Zhong added.
Xiao Shang anticipated Mo Xie's reaction, but sadly, it bore no fruit, not to her expectation that is, she sighed and nodded: "Okay, I will forget everything that happened and will forever erase the name Mo Family in my mind."
Xiao Shang smiled brightly, although her features are not as great as Shang Ting's, it has already surpassed Ye Qingchen's quality.
Hearing this, Mo Xie smiled, if he could at least save Shang Ting, he'll gladly forget this transgression and will only kill the culprits and not the whole Xiao Clan.
Xiao Shang saw Mo Xie's relief, her smile vanished as she coldly spoke: "Ahh, my hand slipped."
_Chuuuk!_ "KAAAAAAH!" Shang Ting howled from the pain as her eyes widely opened, the sword was plunged towards her chest. although it didn't hit her lungs, it is definitely a grave injury, Xiao Shang even pulled out the sword immediately so that the blood can flow out, such a cruel mean.
Seeing this scene, Elder Zhong and Elder Wang became stunned, such a ruthless beast!
Mo Xie, on the other hand, felt something strange, something inside his heart felt like something has been undone, something has been removed, or much more precise, something has been unsealed.
Mo Xie had done nothing, but everything stopped, everything turned to either black or white, everything had frozen in place, Xiao Shang's crazed face that was about to laugh, Elder Zhong and Elder Wang, preparing to fight, Huolin's Heaving chest, everything has stopped.
Only Mo Xie, who is speechlessly walking towards Shang Ting's body that was about to fall to the ground, as soon as he picked her body up, Shang Ting started to move again.
"Hus...band..." Shang Ting spoke, she can also see that everything became black and white, yet, the only thing she can see is Mo Xie's face which she didn't think, that in such a short time, would become someone she will deeply hold dear in her life.
"Don't speak, everything will be alright." Mo Xie, for the first time in his life, had tears falling down from his eyes, he didn't place too much affection towards Shang Ting, as at first, he only wants to use her Clan, but when all things failed, he just played house with Shang Ting, didn't even think of loving her in any other way.
Never in his wildest dreams, had he thought that he will fall for someone immediately as soon as his rebirth, and what's worst, is that he only realized it when that person had stepped to Death's door.
There's a saying about such a situation; [Realizing the worth of something or someone only when they are gone.]
Shang Ting made a fist as her hand slowly approached Mo Xie's face.
_Thud~_ A soft noise sounded as Shang Ting's fist reached Mo Xie's cheeks.
"Husband... I... I finally... manage... to... hit you... my wish..." Shang Ting spoke as she huffs, trying to speak her last.
Mo Xie knew that it's all too late, he could only comfort her for these last few seconds: "Yes, tell, me, I will do everything I can to make it happen."
"Ma... Ple...Please...Marry me... For real..." Shang Ting spoke, but couldn't finish the last words as the life on her body vanished.
Hearing this, Mo Xie couldn't help but remember all of those times that Shang Ting had been too desperate to strike him once, All those memories training her, her desperation to land a single hit.
"That is all... To wish this?" Mo Xie's face started to be indescribable, his face full of tears raining down towards Shang Ting's clothes, no noise was heard, only Mo Xie heaving for air.
Mo Xie wept silently holding Shang Ting's lifeless body on his arms.
The three Elders couldn't help but be shaken after hearing Mo Xie's words, looking at his silhouette moving further and further away.
Although they wanted to protest, looking at the disciples behind them, they couldn't help but accept such an order. Wujin is the first one to speak; "Everyone, gather all of your belongs and prepare, we will move out of the Gangting City!"
