"Stop staring, let's go check that place out. Since there are fireworks, there might be people around too."
Ling Mo Xie did not explain further and said to the astonished Xu Qingfeng and the others.
Xu Qingfeng pointed at the lead wolf beside Ling Mo Xie, stammering in shock, "What... what’s going on with this wolf? Wasn't it just...?"
Ling Mo Xie smiled lightly and simply replied, "This is a spell from Big White that can control other creatures."
Only then did Xu Qingfeng and the others turn their attention to Big White. Xu Qingfeng was unaware that Big White was also Ling Mo Xie's beast companion. Only Xiao Chi remained completely calm; he had already become familiar with Big White and knew all of its abilities.
While they were talking, Ling Mo Xie suddenly felt a violent tremor in the space around them, as if the laws of nature were being affected.
However, since this space was created using a world seed, it wasn't that fragile. It shook for a moment before returning to calm.
"What’s going on?" Ling Mo Xie turned his gaze to Luo Yan, his expression somewhat serious as he asked. This tremor certainly did not seem ordinary.
Luo Yan's expression was also grim. Although he didn't know much about the things inside the space, he was quite familiar with this small space itself. He spoke to Ling Mo Xie in a somber tone, "The laws of nature have been significantly affected; it must mean that a powerful being has entered. As for who it is, I believe you all understand without me having to say it."
Ling Mo Xie nodded, his expression growing more serious. Although he had joked earlier about hoping that the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect would come in since spells would be suppressed here, he understood deep down that even if the leader was suppressed, they would still be stronger than them. Moreover, as the ruler of the Evil Path, the leader would have mastered various spells; there would surely be some that were less affected.
"I hope there will be information regarding the control key for the Demon Tomb!" Ling Mo Xie raised his head and looked towards the distant orange glow of firelight, murmuring. He exchanged glances with Xu Qingfeng and the others; they tacitly chose not to say anything further and quickly headed towards that direction.
Ling Mo Xie had Big White disperse the Azure Wolf pack, but kept the lead wolf together with them; it might come in handy at some point.
Even without being chased by the Azure Wolf pack, they ran quickly to cover ground. Before long, they arrived at the source of the firelight.
To their surprise, there were indeed people here, and quite a few of them.
For a moment, they didn't bother to think about how these people had arrived in this space—whether they were born from this space or had come from the outside.
None of that mattered now. As soon as they ran over, they were quickly noticed by these people, who surrounded them in an instant without any attempt to hide.
Ling Mo Xie observed these individuals; they looked no different from those in the cultivation world. Ling Mo Xie could sense the faint flow of spiritual energy within them, though it was very weak, indicating they likely couldn't perform any significant spells. This was probably due to the influence of the rules of this space.
What surprised Ling Mo Xie was that these people all seemed to have a muscular build, appearing quite strong. They wielded various weapons, including long spears, swords, and knives.
Each person held a torch and had been gathered together before Ling Mo Xie and the others arrived, seemingly discussing something with excited expressions. However, upon seeing Ling Mo Xie and the others approach, their faces changed instantly, and they quickly closed in around them.
Ling Mo Xie looked at their expressions with some confusion; it was strange. They seemed to carry emotions of fear and anger among other complex feelings, leaving Ling Mo Xie puzzled.
"Hmph! Are you underlings of Cang Qi? How dare he send people here again! What does he want to steal this time? Our Chi Ling clan has never encountered such ungrateful wolves in so many years!"
One person spoke up first, angrily shouting at Ling Mo Xie and the others.
Naturally, Ling Mo Xie and the others were bewildered, unable to grasp what was being said. They had no idea who Cang Qi was or what the Chi Ling clan referred to.
It seemed they were being misunderstood? Ling Mo Xie thought to explain but then heard an elder among them shout loudly: "We cannot remain weak any longer! We cannot tolerate Cang Qi's arrogance! We must resist and kill them!"
The elder was lean but appeared strong and vigorous. His loud shout resonated with power.
Hearing the old man's words, the others all echoed in agreement, shouting loudly, their eyes filled with hatred and fierce expressions as they looked at Ling Mo Xie and the others.
"Attack!" Before Ling Mo Xie could hurriedly explain anything, with the old man's command, everyone dropped their torches and charged forward with their weapons drawn.
Ling Mo Xie could tell that those weapons were merely ordinary ones, but with so many sharp tools and without any powerful spells to rely on, it was still somewhat troublesome.
There was no choice; they had already charged forward, and it was too late to explain. They could only fight first and clarify things afterward!
With this thought in mind, Ling Mo Xie exchanged glances with his companions, all of whom drew their weapons. The sounds of clashing weapons quickly filled the air.
The weapons of these Chi Ling clan members were naturally inferior to those of Ling Mo Xie and his companions. However, during the fight, Ling Mo Xie noticed that they did not attack chaotically like untrained individuals; they had some routines of their own. However, these were just extremely basic techniques, such as swordplay and knife techniques—skills practiced only by those below the Golden Core Stage in the cultivation world, akin to martial arts from a previous life.
Moreover, their techniques were not particularly sophisticated. It was hard to imagine how they managed to survive on this grassland, especially since there were packs of Azure Wolves around, indicating that there must be other equally or more formidable beings present.
Although there were many Chi Ling clan members, the fighting soon came to a halt. The Chi Ling clan members stared blankly at their broken weapons in hand, helplessly stopping their attacks. Despair filled their eyes as they murmured, "We never expected that even the subordinates of Cang Qi would be this powerful. It seems fate has turned against our Chi Ling clan. We were only left with ancestral instructions to guard something but now cannot retrieve it. Truly, even in death, we feel guilty!"
Upon hearing their murmurs, Ling Mo Xie’s thoughts shifted. What was this ancestral legacy they were supposed to protect?
Hadn't Luo Yan mentioned before that the key to the Demon Tomb also had guardians? Since both were within a small space, he couldn't help but connect them.
Looking at the Chi Ling clan members whose faces had turned ashen, Ling Mo Xie quickly spoke up to explain, "You seem to have misunderstood. We are not the subordinates of that Cang Qi you mentioned. Besides, we don’t even know who Cang Qi is."
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, one of the Chi Ling clan members appeared somewhat less indignant and pointed at Ling Mo Xie, saying, "At this point, what is there left to argue? We are like meat on a chopping board for you to manipulate as you wish. What good does it do to speak these lies?"
Ling Mo Xie was feeling a bit frustrated by the recent accusations. Did they really look like villains? They hadn't done anything yet, and here they were being mistaken for the subordinates of that so-called Cang Qi.
Xiao Chi, however, was not as patient as Ling Mo Xie. Hearing the accusations, she shot a glare at the person who spoke and said discontentedly, "Oh, you really think highly of yourselves. If we were Cang Qi's subordinates, we would have killed you by now instead of wasting our breath here. You really are a bunch of fools!"
"Well..." Upon hearing Xiao Chi's blunt words, the members of the Chi Ling clan began to hesitate, considering whether they should trust Ling Mo Xie and his group.
"Who... who knows if you have any ulterior motives!" At that moment, another member of the Chi Ling clan spoke up, adding, "Hmph, your leader Cang Qi pretended to be pitiful when he first came to our Chi Ling clan to gain our sympathy. In the end, he gathered intelligence and stole our clan's treasure."
Ling Mo Xie felt utterly annoyed. Cang Qi, you better come out here; I guarantee I won't let you off easily!
However, he was somewhat relieved that these people communicated just like those in the cultivation world. There was no difficulty in communication. Having crossed over from Earth, Ling Mo Xie knew that sometimes language barriers could cause trouble.
Upon hearing the words of the Chi Ling clan member, Xiao Chi became displeased and said to Ling Mo Xie, "Boss, I think we should just kill these stubborn fools. Now that we know there's someone named Cang Qi who might have stolen that item, let's go find him directly."
Ling Mo Xie shot Xiao Chi a glare and shook his head. "They may be a bit stubborn, but they're not bad people. We can't just kill innocents! Forget it; since they don't trust us, we'll go find Cang Qi ourselves. He should be somewhere on this vast grassland and not too far from the Chi Ling clan; otherwise, these people wouldn't have gathered together looking for him."
After hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Xiao Chi could only pout in dissatisfaction as she glanced at the members of the Chi Ling clan and said, "Fine then. Let's rest here for tonight and go find Cang Qi in the morning."
"Yes! It's indeed unwise to act rashly. Since there are Azure Wolves on the grassland, there might be other dangers as well; it's safer during the day," Ling Mo Xie nodded in agreement.
