The moment the void rift appeared, countless possibilities flashed through Zhou Yu's mind.

The only thing he didn't expect was her.

Emerging from the void rift was none other than the Pill God Temple Master, Mo Xiaoqing.

Even Xia Houyun and others were startled by Mo Xiaoqing's sudden appearance.

Once Mo Xiaoqing appeared, a terrifying aura emanated from her, instantly covering a radius of several tens of kilometers.

However, apart from the dense demonic qi enveloping the Stone Pillar Forest, nothing unusual was found.

A shadow flickered in Mo Xiaoqing's eyes as she then looked towards Zhou Yu and the others.

In that moment, apart from Zhou Yu's somewhat unnatural expression, Xia Houyun and the others all heaved a sigh of relief.

Xia Houyun immediately stepped forward and respectfully said:

"Junior Xia Houyun, greets the Pill God Temple Master, Senior Mo."

Mo Xiaoqing nodded slightly, then said solemnly:

"Where is the Black Abyss Demon Emperor?"

Xia Houyun quickly replied:

"Senior, he fled a minute before you arrived."

"We have no idea where he went."

"Fled?"

Mo Xiaoqing was taken aback, then looked over Xia Houyun and the others' injuries, a trace of surprise in her eyes.

"He was driven away by you?"

Xia Houyun nodded.

"That's right."

Mo Xiaoqing immediately said:

"Tell me in detail about your battle with the Black Abyss Demon Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Xia Houyun was stunned. He didn't know what Mo Xiaoqing intended, but he had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"Cheng Sheng and I arrived later; it was mainly Zhou Yu and Gu Zifeng who drove away the Black Abyss Demon Emperor."

Hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing immediately looked at Zhou Yu.

When she saw Zhou Yu's guilty expression, Mo Xiaoqing suddenly showed a half-smile and said:

"Elder Zhou!"

"Why, you seem so distant upon meeting the Temple Master?"

Upon hearing Mo Xiaoqing's address to Zhou Yu, Xia Houyun and the others were all taken aback.

"Elder?"

"Zhou Yu is...?"

Mo Xiaoqing said indifferently:

"Zhou Yu is an Honored Elder of my Pill God Temple and also saved my life."

"Elder Zhou, isn't that right?"

Zhou Yu's eyes twitched. For some reason, hearing Mo Xiaoqing's tone made him uneasy.

Mo Xiaoqing's sudden appearance took him by surprise.

If he remembered correctly, just over a month ago, when he left the Pill God Temple, Mo Xiaoqing was still severely injured due to a near body seizing incident, her Primordial Spirit heavily damaged.

At that time, taking advantage of Mo Xiaoqing's weakened state, Zhou Yu not only took the Taoist Heavenly Bead from her but also planted a Primordial Spirit Mark within her spirit.

By his estimation, with such severe injuries, it would take Mo Xiaoqing three to five years to recover.

But now, just over a month later, Mo Xiaoqing was already fine?

Moreover, the aura she emitted upon arrival clearly surpassed the Emperor Realm.

All of this left Zhou Yu deeply unsettled.

At this moment, he was severely injured, while Mo Xiaoqing was unfathomable.

In comparison, it seemed as if he had narrowly escaped the grasp of the Black Abyss Demon Emperor, only to step straight into the Ghost Gate.

Such a massive psychological fluctuation would unsettle even the most resilient psyche of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu braced himself and said:

"It's nothing as grand as saving my life, Temple Master... you're overstating it."

Hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, but her voice turned cold.

"So you mean there is no gratitude between us."

"If that's how you feel, then I won't carry any burdens in my heart either..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's heart trembled. He could tell there was a hint of killing intent in Mo Xiaoqing's words.

Zhou Yu discreetly sensed for the Primordial Spirit Mark he left in Mo Xiaoqing.

Then, his heart sank.

Because he could no longer feel the presence of the Primordial Spirit Mark at all.

There's only one explanation for this situation.

That is, Mo Xiaoqing had already expelled the Primordial Spirit Mark he left behind.

To do all this silently, who else could it be but an Ancestor Realm Expert?

Zhou Yu secretly lamented and quickly said.

"Not exactly that."

"What I mean is that between us... there was some shared adversity, we might even be... friends!"

"Elder Zhou, you seem very nervous."

"Am I that terrifying?"

As she spoke, Mo Xiaoqing suddenly appeared before Zhou Yu.

The distance between them was less than ten inches.

The distinctive feminine fragrance from Mo Xiaoqing's body wafted directly into his face.

Even Mo Xiaoqing's tight figure was entirely presented to Zhou Yu.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yu's nerves were already tense, without a single wicked thought.

Because the oppressive aura emanating from Mo Xiaoqing was so overwhelming that he could barely endure, even breathing became difficult.

Zhou Yu forced a smile and said with difficulty:

"Temple Master, you're... joking."

The peculiar conversation and actions between Mo Xiaoqing and Zhou Yu left Xia Houyun and the others bewildered.

What was going on with these two?

Why did it seem so strange?

Only two individuals, upon witnessing this scene, showed an unusual expression.

These two were Yun Feifei and Zhang Qin.

As women, they keenly sensed that the Pill God Temple Master seemed to have unusual feelings towards Zhou Yu!

Their eyes filled with contemplation, neither spoke a word.

Seeing Zhou Yu in such a dilemma, Mo Xiaoqing's smile grew even more pronounced.

Suddenly, she chuckled softly.

"Alright."

"Elder Zhou, I was just teasing you. I hope you don't mind."

"Now, tell me in detail about how you dealt with the Black Abyss Demon Emperor."

With those words, the terrifying pressure around Zhou Yu suddenly vanished without a trace.
