Year 1036 of the Zhang Dynasty - Training grounds of Heavenly Phoenix City - Northeast
(Mo Tang POV)
After crossing the Secondary Sects section, we reached my horse in the Training grounds and we rode him to reach the Commercial section.
“I wish we could explore a little bit“ Mo Yue
The sheltered lady spoke behind me.
“We are running for our lives, I think it is not the best moment for that“ Mo Tang
“I know, I know“ Mo Yue
There was a little of regret in her voice.
“But...“ Mo Tang
“?“ Mo Yue
“"We need supplies, so at least you can see the market" Mo Tang
“Lets do it fast, I prefer living to sightseeing“ Mo Yue
After buying some food, we reached the Outlands.
“Whoaaa, it is my first time seeing so much green“ Mo Yue
Fourth miss Mo Yue couldn't maintain her excitement.
“These are the commoners farm, my mother came from here“ Mo Tang
“Right now we are abandoning the city, is she going to miss you?“
“She died from sickness when I was a child, there are no treatment for people without cultivation ranks“ Mo Tang
“Yes, I know that“
Ah, I forgot she cant cultivate.
“Every time I was sick, my teacher told me that it was my fault for not having a Dantian“
“...“ Mo Tang
By sunset we reached the northern outer wall checkpoint and two guards stopped us with their spears.
“Permission to cross“ border guard
It was an ultimatum not a question.
“Here“ Mo Tang
As a guard of the Mo family I have a pass to hunt spiritual creatures, but until now I never used it.
“Who is the girl?“ border guard
The guard looked at the back of my horse.
“She is the bait“ Mo Tang

Before getting here I secure fourth miss Mo Yue hands with ropes.
“I see, you are free to go“ border guard
One guard smiled and the other just looked other way, it seems that it is not the first time someone do something like this.
(Mo Yue POV)
After passing the checkpoint, we keep going north.
“Tang could you take these off“ Mo Yue
The ropes are hurting my hands.
“Lets go a little further, the guards might see us“ Mo Tang
“Very well, I will wait“ Mo Yue
I cant risk my freedom over some discomfort.
...
After one hour of horse trotting, Tang stopped the horse.
“Fourth miss, now I will untie your hand“ Mo Tang
Again with that.
“...Yue“ Mo Yue
“What?“ Mo Tang
“Call me Yue, we have come this far and you still call me that?“ Mo Yue
“...“ Mo Tang
He seemed a little bit embarrassed.
“Besides, we already abandoned that family“ Yue
“Alright“ Tang
He gathered some courage.
“Can I untie your hands Yue?“ Tang
“Of course!“ Yue
I responded happily, to the visually embarrassed man.
“We still have three hours of travel, so lets keep going“ Tang
...
After two hours of travel, I asked Tang.
“Weren't these meadows supposed to be full of spiritual creatures?“
That was what I read back in the mansion.
“It is usually like that“ Tang
“So, the rumor of spiritual creatures disappearing is true“ Yue
“I really hope so“ Tang
...
As we reached the The Northern Forest, Tang released the horse to distract any tracker. The night was as dark as it could be and now we didn't have a transport method.
“We are in The Northern Forest, what is next?“ Yue
“For now, lets sleep and hope that we run far enough“ Tang

“That is all?“ Yue
“I am sure there were best plans but we didn't have time to prepare anything, this is all I can do“ Tang
This is a gamble, a gamble with lives on the table.
“We will take turns sleeping, first I am going to look out for four hours and after that you will“ Tang
Seems reasonable, even if we cant see a creature it doesn't mean that they aren't there.
“This place seems nice“ Yue
I lie under a tree and close my eyes, entrusting my life to him.
...
The night passed peacefully and the sunlight appears once again.
“Good morning Tang“
I said to the sleeping man.
“...Good morning Yue“
Half asleep, he responded me.
“Lets eat some of the food we brought“
The food was mostly fruits and edible roots.
“Here“
I throw him an apple because we didn't have a fire to cook the roots.
“...“ Tang
But he ignores it as his face changes into one of caution.
“They are here“ Tang
...We lost the gamble.
“Did you really think you could escape?“ Mo Cheng
My teacher came with four guards of the mansion and a Dao Sword in her right hand.
“Come here now or else...“ Mo Cheng
“Or else what? my only choices are to die here by your hand or later at the alchemists hands“ Yue
“Disrespectful, it seems that I will have to punish this fourth miss“ Mo Cheng
As she takes one step closer to me...
“That is enough“ Tang
(Tang POV)
I step forward as I said these words and that person's silver aura exits her body.
“You are seeking death“ Mo Cheng
“I will not let you take her“ Tang
My bronze aura responds to hers.
“Whahahahahah, a trash stepping out for a waste this is hilarious“
I will die today, that was set in stone. A Bronze Rank cant overpower a Silver Rank, but even so I cant just walk away and leave Yue to her destiny.
“Gaahhhhh!“
I try lifting my guard sword over my right shoulder to make a diagonal slice on her but...
“Useless“
She kicks me on my stomach and makes me fly to a tree two meters behind me, the same one I was sleeping before.
“Kah!“
The shock of hitting the tree makes me drop my weapon.
“This is how you do it“ Mo Cheng
She lifts her sword to repeat what I was going to do with a smiling face of mockery.
“Ah“ Tang
This is it. I am sorry Yue, I was too weak to help you.
“NOOOOOO!“ Yue
The crouching back of Yue was in front of me and the sound of flesh being cut apart reaches my ears.
“...“ Tang
“...“ Mo Cheng
Did she...
“This is going to be a trouble“ Mo Cheng
Did she to protect me...no...
“YUUEEEEEEEE!!!!“ Tang
She drops on me, covering me with her blood.
Why? why she did it?
...
“I was too late“ ???
A male voice sounded in the air.
