Zhou Yan looked back as the fight behind them increased in intensity. The suction caused by the Reversal of sound laws into a vacuum started pulling small rocks away from the tunnel.
After he pulled Yuan Ting up to the surface, he whispered, "When you go out, shout as loud as you can with whatever techniques, 'Mo Huai', can you do that?"
Yuan Ting furrowed his brows, "Mo Huai, who's th–"
After it was confirmed he heard the name rightly, his other shoulder was loaded with Wang Qiang's unconscious body, "You'll be responsible for these few…good luck."
Before Yuan Ting could think, Zhou Yan threw his hand backwards; a storm of cold snow formed at his swipe. It threw itself into the rubble and stuck at the surface for a moment before it popped and a tunnel started to be dug upwards.
He kicked off the ground, and mid-air pushed Yuan Ting forward, "Go now!", then turned and kicked off the air towards the two goliath fighters deeper in.
With the momentum from being pushed, and the weight of the bodies he was holding onto, he couldn't make his own mind up as the momentum caused him to take steps forward anyway.
He strained under their weight and the incline, using strength laws though they were limited. A short way up, he began using other laws in suboptimal impressions to give himself just enough power to make his way up.
Eventually, he collapsed on the ground at the surface, dropping the two bodies in front of him. He took a moment to breath before, with a huff, he pushed off the ground and stumbled to his feet.
He took a deep breath and, at the same time, looked within his almost-depleted Spirit Stone Soul. He had no sound laws left, he only had one set of laws in high amounts (comparatively).
"MO HUAI!!" He shouted with the power of air, the most abundant of his main element laws still. The reason was simple, air was everywhere, he could easily cultivate it.
He drained his body of all the air laws he could and collapsed to the ground, he did what he could…and could only hope that was enough, that someone would save him.
His eyes fluttered, he strained to keep them open.
Purple. From the corner of his eyes he saw a purple figure move, something like a person but…not entirely.
He shut his eyes.

Mo Huai heard the distressed call from one of his many miasma soldiers he had placed around the battlefield. He didn't send any strong ones yet, they were simply for recon.
"Somebody who knows my name, I don't recognize them though…" he stroked his beard and sat up. He strolled towards a random direction and in a moment he and the miasma soldier who had heard the scream swapped places.
The miasma soldier took his place and sat down, waiting, living as a teleportation point. He would remain until told otherwise.
He shifted forward as a cloud of miasma to the nearest lifeform, he looked down. He kicked at the bodies, "Depleted laws, extremely hurt…Interesting." he hovered a hand over the two injured experts; Li Hui and Wang Qiang.
From the ground a bed formed under then and they were covered in a light mist, "That should heal them, or at least keep them stable." he turned to the last person, a much weaker Yuan Ting.
Mo Huai rummaged into his pockets and pulled out a pill, he knelt down and awoke Yuan Ting, "I'm here to help, take this–" he shoved the pill into his mouth.
Yuan Ting, having just woke up, had little capacity to think and relinquished himself to the pill and person tending to him. If they were meaning harm, they would have killed him while unconscious; he reasoned.
The pills dissolved under his saliva and instantly, his Spirit Stone Soul was nourished to health. His cognition laws were replenished to a high amount and he could think with perfect clarity. His strength was regained, as he had no other injuries he could be 'healed' easily.
Mo Huai waite for him to acclimate, "A high tier four elements & general body pill; I noticed the trace of laws left and deduced that was the right system?"
Yuan Ting cleared his mind, "yeah, yeah…you were right…" he opened and closed his hands multiple times, as if in disbelief.
"Ah!" he jumped in recollection, "Theres still somebody left!"
Mo Huai nodded, "Give me the rundown, what happened?"
Yuan Ting looked into the tunnel he came from, worrying for Zhou Yan; no matter how strong he was, there's no way he was as strong as those other two, right?
"I found an entrance underground and set up a distress signal if I didn't come back which led to three seniors, two here, to come help. That third senior is still underground and there's two…b-bit people, like uhmmm…" he slapped his head, "One Elder with level 80? 90? Hardening and someone Li Hui identified as a vampire?"
Mo Huai instantly grimaced, "…Is this third senior…does he use some sort of cold attack you can't identify?"
"That's exactly what he does!" Yaun Ting recalled the cold storm energy he released.
Mo Huai stood ups Nd pinched the bridge of his nose, murdering under his breath, "William…"
He looked back down, "I'll send for someone, just follow them back to heal yourself properly. You'll be rewarded for helping your seniors appropriately." he walked over to the tunnel that Yuan Ting came up from.
It was almost entirety collapsed now but that did not stop Mo Huai. He turned into a miasma which passed through the cracks of the rocks which blocked the tunnel, rapidly moving through underground.
As he did he lamented, 'A vampire in control of the Reverse Formation, Nine Clouds Earth Di and William in one spot…now me. This war is starting to escalate…' he continued burrowing underground, finally making his way into it and instantly feeling the Reverse Formation's strength, 'Though William's aura might actually be useful here he can't be affected unlike me…unless?'
He spoke in his heart to his 'god', and disciple, Hamar. Hoping that he would use his causality to help him stay affected and as if a pray was answered he felt a strong sensation of needing to release laws.
They were sent to Dmitri the vampire, but in exchange Mo Haui became invulnerable to the Reverse Formation's main ability. Hamar's mental construction following Yuan Ting jumped to Mo Huai after re connecting with the main aura grid above the surface.
