Chapter 94: A Faint Light Dispelling Darkness

  Luosi knew that Mo Ye's words to her were not a joke, and Mo Ye's abilities in the dark had always been something she deeply feared. This was also why she had previously valued Mo Jie so much. Unexpectedly, it was only later that she discovered that Mo Jie was actually Mo Ye, who had come to infiltrate with a new name. The words Mo Ye spoke to her on that rainy night, leaning against the iceberg she had summoned, were still remembered by her.

  She remembered that before he retreated, he stuck his body on the ice and rushed towards the fine seam with a serious expression to Luosiqi: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to defeat you!"

  At that time, Luosi thought it was just Mo Ye's angry words due to his frustration and anger towards her. She had seen such harsh words on TV before, and they often only meant the speaker's emotional outburst, which would usually be forgotten afterwards.

  She didn't think Mo Ye was just that. That night, she ruined Mo Ye's perfect plan and almost pushed him to the end of his rope, and also almost pushed herself to the end of her own rope.

  The grudges were so deep, and how could such deep grudges be easily resolved. Everything was as if it had happened yesterday, Luosiqi still remembered every scene of that night, and every word she exchanged with Mo Ye.

  Now, she is in this dark and narrow tunnel where no one can help her. This tunnel was led by Yu Luo, and walking along it would lead to the Mo Mansion, where she could get the antidote for the poisonous fog created by the Night God Sect. Luosi didn't expect that all of this was a lie, although she had also felt that Yu Luo's behavior was somewhat suspicious before, but she only thought that he might intentionally alert the guards after she entered the Mo Mansion to force her to help him take revenge.

  Luosi really didn't think that even if she thought so far ahead, she still thought it was simple. Yes, to want to get rid of the Flowing Gold City Lord and his family who have a deep foundation here, seeking help from the Night God Sect may be her only choice.

  At this thought, Luosi suddenly wanted to ask Mo Ye a question. She said to Mo Ye: "Before you kill me, I want to ask you something, and I hope you can answer honestly."

  Mo Ye heard this and slightly moved his palm away, revealing a very generous smile towards Luo Siqi: "Although the grievances between us are deep, for a beautiful and unusual girl like you, I am still willing to give some preferential treatment. Anyway, you're going to die soon, so everything I know can be told to you."

  Luosi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, asking the question she had always wanted to know: "What is the relationship between Batu God and the Night God Sect? Is she really a protector of the Night God Sect like Yu Luo said before?" In fact, Yu Luo only mentioned that the lord of the Flowing Gold City was a protector of the Night God Sect, without mentioning the relationship between Batu God and the Night God Sect. Luosi asked this question because she had guessed it herself, hoping to get some answers from Mo Ye that she couldn't think of on her own.

  As expected, Mo Ye's face slightly changed color when Luo Siqi asked him this. Luo Siqi took advantage of the light from the torch in his hand to see that he seemed to be trying hard to suppress his emotions, and added fuel to the fire: "What? Didn't you ask Yu Luo to tell me all those secrets to pique my curiosity and lure me into your trap?"

  Although Luo Xi had always thought Yu Luo was pitiful, this time he had used her feelings and trust towards friends to make a deal with Mo Ye, pushing her into a trap that was hard for her to escape from.

  She couldn't help but feel resentful towards Yu Luo, even though this resentment reduced her magical powers and she knew that this emotion was unacceptable. But it really can't be suppressed, no matter how hard Luosi Qi tries to control her emotions, she is still a normal person, and anyone who encounters such a situation will inevitably go crazy.

  So she is now doing this entirely to provoke Mo Ye's dissatisfaction with Yu Luo, and if he goes to find trouble for Yu Luo in the future or even kills him, it would also be considered avenging her.

  However, Mo Ye's attitude turned out to be much more open-minded than Luo Xi Qi had imagined. Not only did he acknowledge that Ba Tu Shen was a guardian deity in the Night God Cult, but he also revealed a secret to Luo Xi Qi that Yu Luo had only hinted at but never told her.

  Originally, the Night God Sect had four great protectors before he took over as the sect leader. These four great protectors were in charge of the Night God Sect's financial resources, intelligence gathering, martial arts research, and rewards and punishments. Unlike other sects in Chu State, these four protectors were not directly appointed by the sect leader, and as long as they did not betray the sect, the sect leader had no right to remove them from office or punish them. These four great protectors were even hereditary, unless there were special circumstances that affected them. Each protector would be the child of the previous protector, and since the founding of the Night God Sect, only the reward and punishment protector had been succeeded by his favorite disciple before Mo Ye became the sect leader because he did not have any children.

  Bhadra Kali, as the guardian deity in charge of gathering intelligence within the cult of Night Gods, superficially portrays herself as a goddess who can fulfill many people's desires. She instills fear in people by making them willingly offer her their blood. In reality, she also often pretends to make exceptions and accepts large sums of money or has them do tasks for her.

  BF is not forever young and immortal as the outside world claims. In fact, she too will age, and many people who see her again after ten or even twenty years may find that the Bhadra Kali they see is no longer the same one they saw before, but rather perhaps the daughter of the original Bhadra Kali.

  Because when ordinary people meet the Bodhisattva, they will usually be detained for a few days in advance. Before that, the new Bodhisattva will have already learned about their previous visit's information in detail. At the Bodhisattva's place, every person who comes to make wishes and repay them is recorded by her subordinates. Moreover, each time he comes, no one carefully stares at the Bodhisattva, and he is often timid, lowering his head. Even if he hastily takes a glance, under the dim lamp in the underground, the difference between daughter and mother will not be too great.

  Mo Ye arrived here, his emotions seemed to be somewhat agitated, and there seemed to be some things related to him. Such a thing he himself didn't know, Luo Si Qi couldn't guess either. Mo Ye suddenly stopped talking, making Luo Si Qi want to know more.

  In the underground tunnel, it was not like that rainy night in the suburbs of Chu State's capital city. That evening, although the sky suddenly darkened with little light, Luosiqi could still see some things, and at that time, there were many people around her, while Mo Ye, no matter how powerful he was, had only one person and was also injured by the shooter who had been hiding in ambush early on.

  Lucy felt that although the situation at that time was also extremely critical, it was much better compared to now.

  Just as Mo Ye had said earlier, it was impossible for moonlight to shine in here. At this moment, the only light in the tunnel came from the torch in his hand. As long as he didn't extinguish the torch in his hand, his eyes could see clearly in the darkness, but Luosiqi would really be in a desperate situation.

  Want to use magic to summon ice blocks to wrap herself up like last time? But here she has no reinforcements, no helpers, even if she freezes herself, what can she do? The absolute defense she came up with last time made the Chu State soldiers set up a fire to roast her for half a day without melting much. If she does it again this time, Mo Ye doesn't even need to personally use his sword to kill her, just leave her helpless and alone here, wait two days to see her frozen corpse, and then send someone to collect her body.

  Of course, Luosi didn't completely give up hope either. Although she felt it was a bit too humiliating to lower her head and speak softly to Mo Ye now, being humiliated in her heart was still better than dying in this little-known underground dark passage!

  Then she tried to calm herself down and show a relaxed attitude, saying to him: "Mo Ye, what's the benefit of killing me? In fact, King Chu has been seeking reconciliation with you. It was you who refused everything after trapping Qiuli in the poisonous fog. What's the benefit of opposing Chu State like this? If Chu State is dragged down by you, whether it's Jin State in the Central Plains or Qi State and Wu State on the side, who will tolerate a sect like Night God that threatens national rule? The states in the Central Plains are all full of poetry, books, etiquette, and rituals. You might as well take this opportunity to reconcile with King Chu and let him not trouble you from now on!"

  Mo Ye listened to Luo Siqi's words, as if he had heard another very funny joke. He said to Luo Siqi: "I understand all of this, but what does it have to do with me designing to kill you here?"

  "What's the big deal? I'm the goddess of Chu State! If you kill me, unless it's the King of Chu himself, even the Moon Goddess Sect won't let you off!" Luo Siqi heard Mo Ye say this and seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

  "I didn't expect Mo Ye to be even more disdainful than her reaction. He said to her, 'It seems that you are really stupid, Luosi Qi. We still need to talk, and I also know some things about the North. I am willing to let Wei Li and his army go, but all of this will have to wait until after I kill you. Don't you think that if Chu Wang loses you, my negotiations with him will be even smoother?"

  "So you're not afraid that after killing me, the King of Chu will find out?" Luosi was still making a last-ditch effort with her words. However, from the tone and sound of her voice, it seemed that even she herself didn't think this hypothesis had much credibility.

  "As expected, Mo Ye said to her: 'In a place like this, who would know if someone died? Moreover, even if he knew it was me who killed you, I think it would make him even more afraid, and have a better impact on the future of my Night God Sect!'"

  "Alright, you've asked enough questions and I've explained enough. It's time to take action. Don't worry, it'll be over soon!" As Mo Ye's voice fell, he slapped his palm against the torch in his hand, extinguishing it.

  Luosiqi hastily raised an ice wall in front of her, but the ice wall was not thick, and she could even hear Mo Ye's sword piercing through the ice wall and shattering it with force.

  "In the darkness, she heard him say to her: 'Don't bother struggling, Rosalie, you're dead meat tonight!'"

  That endless darkness accompanied by the words of the ink night has been constantly eroding her, and now she can't see how much she hopes to have a little light to make her see her enemy clearly!

  "It's not necessarily so!" Along with this sudden rebuke from the man, a light suddenly lit up in the dark tunnel. Although that little bit of light was very weak, it still made both Rosalie and Mo Ye's eyes hurt for a moment, and they felt a slight pain.
