The shadowy figure lifted its cloak, revealing a young face—it was Mo Qi!
Or to be more precise, it was Mo Qi's External Incarnation!
Back then, while inside the Void Gate, Mo Qi had sensed his mother's aura in two different locations. The Pig Emperor's unreliable Shield hadn't given him much time to think, so he could only split off his External Incarnation. He and his main body each chose a different direction and fled the Void Gate.
His main body had landed in the Desperate Mountain Range, while the External Incarnation had appeared within the territory of the Demon Beast Dynasty.
He had originally planned to follow the trail of his mother's aura. But to his surprise, right near where he had landed, the matriarch of the Ancient Ice Ants sent him a message: one of its parasitized, soul-controlled servants was nearby.
This was both unexpected and a pleasant surprise for Mo Qi.
'In this unfamiliar land, having a guide would be perfect.'
