This was the first time she had seen someone look like Ye Mo this much, though, so she still wanted to try her luck.
"Pill City's Mo Youshen greets Martial Sister Qingxue, my master is an elder of Pill City, Pill King Chang Shun," Mo Youshen said excitedly and quickly brought up his master.
Many cultivators realized now. No wonder Ning Qingxue was going up to this golden core state cultivator.
Ning Qingxue frowned and suddenly asked, "Where are you from?"
Mo Youshen was surprised but thought Ning Qingxue was asking about his family, so he replied happily, "I hail from a small world called Magical Continent. I was a member of the Taiyi Sect and came to Pill City due to the teleportation formation on Xin Jia Mountain. I was then taken in as a personal disciple by my master Pill King Chang Shun."
Ning Qingxue heard this answer and felt like she ate a fly. She had wanted to ask if Mo Youshen knew Ye Mo but hearing that he came from the Taiyi Sect, she wanted to kill him immediately.
But she had heard of Pill King Chang Shun. If she killed his disciple, even the Ethereal Immortal Pond wouldn't be able to protect her.
At this moment, Fang Zhongshi seemed to have woken up as he walked up to Ning Qingxue and said, "Martial Sister Qingxue, tell me where that Ye Mo is? I can't be satisfied losing to a person I've never seen before. I must see this genius. If I see him and I'm indeed not as good as him, I'm willing to go into solitary cultivation for 100 years."
Fang Zhongshi had regained his confidence and pride. He didn't believe that there were more powerful prodigies than him in South Peace State. Even if there was a difference, it wouldn't be great.
"Ye Mo?" Mo Youshen heard this name and called out in shock.
Ning Qingxue immediately looked at Mo Youshen and said, "Do you know Ye Mo?"
Mo Youshen took a breath in and thought, 'Not only do I know him, our enmity is deep like the seas. If Ye Mo were here, I would turn him into dust!'
But seeing her face of concern, he immediately knew that they had to be really close. Thinking about how she said she had a husband, was her husband Ye Mo?
Seeing her look at him with worry, Mo Youshen said with melancholy, "A yes, I know Ye Mo, but he died in the small world—"
"You're lying," Ning Qingxue said coldly.
Mo Youshen immediately said, "I'm not lying, I was close to Ye Mo. I was there when he died because seven great heaven masters set up a Seven Seed Kill formation and fought a day and night before killing Ye Mo."
Ning Qingxue sneered. Ye Mo could be close to anyone but this Mo Youshen. Mo Youshen came from the Taiyi Sect and because a Daoist from Taiyi had almost killed her, Ye Mo hated the Taiyi Sect the most. Everyone knew about how Ye Mo had annihilated the Taiyi Sect. How could Ye Mo be close to this Mo Youshen? With Ye Mo's fame in the small world, if he died, there would be no reason for her to not find out.
But with Mo Youshen saying this about Ye Mo, the only possibility was that he had great enmity with him. Ning Qingxue didn't even need to feel doubt about that. If Mo Youshen's backing wasn't so powerful, perhaps Ning Qingxue would've already started fighting him. Mo Youshen just didn't expect Ning Qingxue to know about the small world and the Taiyi Sect.
"He's lying," a different cold voice appeared in the Pill Rest Tower. Another woman who didn't look any less pretty than Ning Qingxue appeared.
Ning Qingxue turned around and looked at this woman. Both her and Sister Susu didn't really like this woman. It was Wen Caiyi.
She knew Mo Youshen was lying, but how could Wen Caiyi know too?
Wen Caiyi looked at Ning Qingxue and said, "I didn't think Ye Mo would have such fortune as to be liked by Goddess Ning of Ethereal Immortal Pond. What a pity, Ye Mo has indeed died, just not in some small world but in the Truth Fall Palace."
She looked at the pale-faced Ning Qingxue and said, "I don't know for sure if the Ye Mo I'm talking about is your Ye Mo, but if that is the case, I suppose Goddess Ning is a widow."
Ning Qingxue's face went pale. She wasn't too sure either, but she knew that Wen Caiyi's words were much more likely than what Mo Youshen had said. There was almost zero possibility that Ye Mo had been killed in the small world. But in the Truth Fall Palace, it was really hard to say.
It was because the Truth Fall Palace was so dangerous that she had agreed with Sister Susu to not go in. They had decided they had to see Ye Mo first before going in there.
Wen Caiyi felt glad seeing Ning Qingxue's pale face and said with a calm expression, "I heard he used an alias in the Truth Fall Palace, Ning Xiaoma. I wonder if it has any special meaning. Now that I think about it, it's the same last name as yours."
Ning Qingxue heard this and spat blood, immediately falling over.
Huang Qian was in the middle of wondering if the person she had seen had been Mo Youshen when she saw Ning Qingxue spit blood and fall down, and she quickly went to hold her. She took out a pill and put it in Ning Qingxue's mouth. Then she turned over saying coldly to Wen Caiyi, "Martial Sister Wen, what's the meaning of this?"
"It's nothing, I just heard that Goddess Ning has been thinking about Ye Mo, so I told her about him," Wen Caiyi said innocently.
"Martial Sister Qianqian, don't waste your words on her, let's go back." Another female cultivator walked over and held Ning Qingxue too.
Ning Qingxue had woken up by now, but her eyes were blank.
After a long while, she took out a picture and felt it again and again before murmuring, "Have you forgotten about me and Sister Susu? Why didn't you come find us, why?"
The two female cultivators from Ethereal Immortal Pond saw this and signaled to each other to take Ning Qingxue away.
After leaving, Ning Qingxue suddenly thought of something and asked the female cultivator next to her, "Martial Sister Yan, where is the Truth Fall Palace? I want to go."
"Huh?" The female cultivator was shocked and said after a while, "Martial Sister Qingxue, even if you want to go, you can't. You need to wait. It only opens every 30 years."
"Huh?" Huang Qian suddenly exclaimed and pointed at the picture in Ning Qingxue's hands. "Martial Sister Qingxue, I saw this person today."
Ning Qingxue suddenly grabbed Huang Qian's hands and asked shakily, "Martial Sister Qianqian, you, did you really see this person? You're not lying to me or trying to comfort me, right?"
The female cultivators all stared at Huang Qian.
Huang Qian nodded with certainty. "It's real, Martial Sister Qingxue, I really saw this person. I thought it was that Mo Youshen before, but their bearing is too different. I'm sure that the image you showed me was of the cultivator I saw today."
She then looked at Ning Qingxue and said, "That's right, Martial Sister Qingxue, I told you about him today. When I went with Martial Uncle Tongbing to find Lu-Qianbei, we saw him there. He stopped us to ask about you. I, I—"
Ning Qingxue grabbed Huang Qian joyfully. "You really saw him? He's in Pill City? And he was asking where I was?"
